Ethos is a Riyadh-based, independent Mailchimp consultancy serving brands across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Through Ethos Engage, our team plans, builds, sends and measures Mailchimp lifecycle journeys in Saudi Arabic and English, designed around PDPL, on the set-up you already own.

Mailchimp is Intuit's email marketing platform for small businesses, with newsletters, simple automations and audience management. In Saudi Arabia, from Riyadh and Jeddah to Dammam and Al Khobar, it is usually run by small businesses that send newsletters but rarely run lifecycle journeys.

Ethos is headquartered in Riyadh and has worked with Saudi brands for more than a decade. As an independent Mailchimp consultancy, we are not tied to any platform vendor, so our advice is about results, not licences.

What Ethos Provides

With Ethos Engage, our Riyadh team runs Mailchimp as a recurring lifecycle programme. We turn newsletter lists into a simple lifecycle, set up welcome, re-engagement and occasion journeys, clean lists and improve deliverability and report what each email earns.

Messages are written in Saudi Arabic and English, consent-checked and built around PDPL and your regulator's rules. Each journey is measured against a control group and planned around the Saudi calendar, from Ramadan and Eid to National Day and salary week.

For smaller programmes we run a lean team: one Engagement Manager owns strategy and delivery, backed by shared martech, data and content specialists.

Engagement Manager (team lead, day to day): builds, launches and optimises every journey, working alongside your team in Riyadh.
MarTech Developer (day to day): builds and maintains the set-up: Customer Journey Builder, audiences, tags, merge fields and integrations.
Data & Performance Analyst (day to day): loads segments, monitors results and reports each journey against a hold-out group.
UX/UI Designer & Copywriter (day to day): designs and writes every message in Arabic (Saudi dialect where it fits) and English.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a Mailchimp team in Riyadh?

Yes. Ethos is headquartered in Riyadh and supports Mailchimp users across Saudi Arabia, including Jeddah, Dammam and Al Khobar. Our team works on-site or remotely, in Arabic and English.

How do you handle Saudi PDPL on Mailchimp?

We design Mailchimp journeys around the Personal Data Protection Law overseen by SDAIA: a lawful basis and consent for marketing, easy opt-out, minimum data and controls on transfers outside the Kingdom. Customer data stays in your Mailchimp account and approved environments, and sector rules such as SAMA guidance for banks and CST rules for SMS sender IDs are added at kick-off. Your data-protection team keeps final sign-off.

Can Mailchimp send Saudi-dialect Arabic and WhatsApp messages?

Yes. We build right-to-left Arabic templates and English versions for every message, checked by an Ethos writer before sending. We write in Saudi dialect where your brand voice allows, and in formal Arabic where it does not. Where Mailchimp has no native WhatsApp channel, we connect an approved WhatsApp Business provider through integrations or APIs, with approved templates and opt-in management.

Do you plan Mailchimp journeys around the Saudi calendar?

Yes. The engagement plan is built around Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Founding Day, Saudi National Day, White Friday, back-to-school and salary week, with quiet hours and frequency caps that respect prayer times and local habits.

Do you also support Mailchimp in the UAE and the GCC?

Yes. Ethos also operates from Dubai and supports Mailchimp users in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Groups that run several GCC markets can keep one programme with market-specific journeys.

How does an Ethos Engage programme on Mailchimp work, and what does it cost?

Engage is a recurring monthly retainer, invoiced in Saudi riyals through our Saudi entity. A setup team designs the programme in months 1–3, then an operations team runs it every day. The fee depends on journeys, channels and scope. Many clients start with one stage, such as activation, retention or win-back, and expand once results are proven.

Is Mailchimp good enough for lifecycle marketing?

For a small business, often yes. Mailchimp can run welcome, follow-up and re-engagement journeys. We help you get those right first. When you need SMS, WhatsApp or app channels, we help you choose the next platform.
