Stop guessing. Start with a plan.
Many businesses do a little of everything online: some posts on Instagram, a few boosted ads, a website that was built years ago, maybe an SEO package. Each activity costs money and time, but nothing connects to a clear goal, so results are random and hard to measure. A digital strategy fixes this. It answers the big questions before you spend: who exactly are we trying to reach, what do we want them to think and do, which channels will get us there most efficiently, how much should we invest, and how will we know it is working?
At IHI Marketing we build digital marketing strategies for startups, SMEs and established companies in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the USA. Because our team runs campaigns, SEO, content and websites every day, our strategies are practical, realistic and ready to execute, not theoretical documents that sit in a drawer.
What a digital strategy covers
Business goals and objectives
We translate your business goals, such as revenue growth, new branches, entering a new country or launching a product, into specific marketing objectives with numbers and deadlines.
Market and competitor analysis
We study market size and trends, search demand, competitors' websites, ads, social media, SEO visibility, pricing and messaging. This shows where the market is crowded and where there are gaps you can own.
Audience personas and customer journey
We define your most valuable customer segments, their needs, objections, the words they use, the platforms they spend time on, and the steps they take from first awareness to purchase and loyalty.
Positioning and messaging
A clear statement of why customers should choose you over alternatives, supported by key messages for each audience and stage of the journey, in Arabic and English.
Channel strategy
We recommend which channels to prioritize, including SEO, Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp, content, influencers, partnerships and offline, and what role each one plays. Not every business needs every channel; focus is often the secret.
Budget allocation
A recommended budget split by channel and month, with a test budget for new ideas and a plan for scaling what works. We also estimate expected results so you can judge return on investment.
KPIs and measurement plan
The metrics that matter at each stage, the tracking setup needed to measure them, and the dashboards and reporting rhythm that will keep everyone aligned.
Roadmap and action plan
A 12-month roadmap with phases and milestones, plus a detailed 90-day plan of tasks, owners and deadlines so execution can start immediately.
Our strategy process
- Kick-off workshop: with your leadership and key team members to understand the business, goals and constraints.
- Data review: analytics, ad accounts, CRM, sales data and previous campaigns.
- Research: market, competitors, keywords and customers through interviews or surveys where possible.
- Strategy development: positioning, audiences, channels, budget and KPIs.
- Presentation and refinement: we present, discuss and adjust together.
- Handover: final documents, templates and a launch session with whoever will execute.
Strategy for each market
Jordan: a price-sensitive but digitally active market where Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp play a central role and Google search for local services is growing. Strategies often combine strong social content, efficient lead generation and local SEO.
Saudi Arabia: one of the fastest growing digital markets in the region, with very high social media usage, especially Snapchat, TikTok and X, and rapid growth in e-commerce. Strategies need Arabic-first content, mobile-first experiences, seasonal planning and often influencer partnerships.
UAE: a multicultural, bilingual audience with high purchasing power and intense competition. Strategies rely on sharp positioning, premium creative, precise targeting and strong conversion optimization.
USA: a mature market where search intent, reviews, local SEO and conversion-focused websites are critical. Strategies for US clients often focus on efficient lead generation in specific cities and niches.
Market entry strategy
Expanding from Jordan to Saudi Arabia or the UAE, or from the Middle East to the USA, requires more than translating your ads. We help you understand local demand, competitors, pricing expectations, cultural nuances, legal and platform requirements, and the fastest channels to validate demand before committing big budgets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I receive at the end of a strategy project?
A written strategy document and presentation covering market and competitor analysis, audience personas, positioning, channel plan, budget allocation, KPIs, a 12-month roadmap and a 90-day action plan.
How long does it take?
Usually 3 to 6 weeks depending on the size of the business, the number of markets and the data available.
Do we have to hire you to execute the strategy?
No. The strategy is yours to use with your internal team or any agency. Many clients do choose us for execution because we already understand their business.
Is a strategy useful for a small business?
Yes. Small businesses have less budget to waste, so a clear plan that focuses on the right one or two channels is even more valuable.
Can the strategy cover expansion to a new country?
Yes. Market entry plans for Saudi Arabia, the UAE or the USA are a common part of our strategy work.
