Objective

Expand brand visibility and consideration across the GCC by engaging finance-savvy podcast listeners with dynamic, relevant audio messages.

Campaign Execution

Capital.com partnered with Next Audio to deliver a multi-strategy podcast campaign designed to simplify complex financial topics and connect with audiences through trusted local voices.

A branded episode on the popular Arabic show Think with Hessa positioned Capital.com at the heart of a conversation on smart investing, hosted by a respected regional voice.

Host-read sponsorships ran on local favourites such as Studio Al Jumhour and Papersamwich, bringing financial education into authentic, everyday moments.

To amplify reach, programmatic ads were dynamically inserted across a wide network of Arabic and English podcasts in KSA and the UAE, tailored to listener demographics and behaviours.

This layered approach allowed Capital.com to reach a wide yet relevant audience, combining trusted voices with efficient targeting.
