Social media managers for salons, aesthetic and dental clinics, spas and lifestyle brands in Dubai. The social media manager plans and publishes the content that brings bookings: a monthly content plan, shooting days with the team, Reels and stories, replies to comments and DMs, and a short report on what worked. For clinics and beauty brands the content also has to pass the platforms' ad review and avoid medical promises. We assess candidates with a content plan task built on your real brand.
Hire a social media managerLooking for a job?A social media manager who turns your services and your team into a steady flow of content, answers every DM and can show which posts brought bookings.
A beautiful personal account does not prove the person can run a brand. The checks show planning, wording discipline and whether content leads to bookings.
Typical hiring mistake: hiring a designer or a content creator and expecting a social media manager. A creator shoots well; a manager plans, publishes, answers and measures. How it differs from neighbours: a marketing manager owns the whole marketing budget, channels and strategy; a social media manager owns the brand's social accounts day to day; a graphic designer makes the visuals that both of them use.

A freelancer or studio works when you need a fixed number of posts and the team is rarely available for shooting. In-house makes sense when you want daily stories, fast DM replies and content shot with your doctors and masters every week. In both cases agree in writing who checks the wording before publishing, especially for medical and aesthetic services.
Our fee is fixed for each role and agreed before the search starts. A 10% prepayment of the fee starts the search, the rest is due once the person has started work. If it does not work out, we find a replacement free of charge within 1 month after the person starts. The employer makes the hiring decision.
