Digital marketing services in Tunisia, in Arabic and French, for an export-minded market

Tunisia is compact, well connected to Europe and comfortable in French and Arabic. I plan campaigns in both languages for local buyers, and for European clients of Tunisian exporters and IT firms.

First steps

Where I would start in Tunisia

The first three things I would do for most businesses entering or growing in Tunisia, before spending more on ads.

01

French and Arabic

Use French for B2B and many websites, and Arabic for social content.

02

European clients

For IT and exporters, target French-speaking European markets first.

03

Ramadan schedule

Plan campaign timing for Ramadan and Eid in advance.

§ 03 · Rules and timing

Data, consent and timing: what changes in Tunisia

Data rules, the working week and the local calendar all shape marketing in Tunisia. General information only, not legal advice.

Personal data rules

Tunisia's Organic Law of 2004 on the protection of personal data, supervised by its national authority (INPDP), sets the rules. I keep forms and tracking documented; confirm details with a qualified adviser.

Ramadan and the local calendar

Ramadan, Eid and national days in Tunisia shift browsing and buying, so schedules, messages and budgets follow them.

Working week

Most offices work Monday to Friday.

§ 04 · Working together

How we work together from India to Tunisia

I work remotely with clients in Europe, the UAE and India. This is what a working week with a client in Tunisia looks like.

01

Time overlap

Tunisia is 4.5 hours behind India, so your working morning overlaps with my day.

02

Language

Copy in Arabic and French is written or checked by a native speaker.

03

Reporting and terms

Monthly plain-English report, written scope and monthly terms.
