Social Media & Content Creation Agency in Dubai
We make the video, photography and aerial content that luxury hotels, resorts and restaurants publish, and we run the channels it lives on.
Collaborations
Brands we have worked with
Hotels, resorts and restaurants across the UAE, Qatar, Thailand and the Maldives, alongside brand work for DJI, Sony and Dyson.
What we do
Production and social, under one roof
Most agencies do one or the other. Shooting and publishing in the same place means the content is made for the channel it is going on, rather than adapted to it afterwards.
-
Video production
Property films, restaurant and F&B content, campaign edits, and short-form cut for Reels and TikTok from the same shoot.
-
Photography
Interiors, food, lifestyle and event coverage, shot for both print use and social crops.
-
Aerial & drone
Licensed aerial filming under DCAA and GCAA permits. Coastline, property exteriors and resort establishing shots.
-
Social media management
Calendars, publishing, community management and monthly reporting on the channels the content feeds.
-
Content retainers
A recurring shoot day that produces a month of material, which is how most hospitality clients work with us.
-
Launches & openings
Concentrated coverage around a date, delivering a content bank that carries the property through its first months.
Licensed
A permitted drone operator in the UAE
Commercial drone filming in the UAE requires authority permits. Operating without them is illegal, and venues are increasingly asked to show that the operator holds them before a shoot is approved on site.
We hold both.
- Dubai Civil Aviation Authority
DCAA drone permit
Permitted to operate drones for commercial filming in Dubai.
- General Civil Aviation Authority
GCAA drone permit
Permitted to operate drones for commercial filming across the UAE.
Focus
We understand hospitality
Sortie Media is a social media marketing and content creation agency in Dubai, producing video, photography and licensed aerial content for hotels, resorts and restaurants across the UAE and the wider region.
Shooting a hotel is not the same as shooting a product. Suites have to be dressed and lit before anyone points a camera at them, restaurant work happens around service rather than through it, and a resort shoot lives or dies on the light at either end of the day. Knowing that in advance is most of the job.
It is also why we work almost entirely in this sector rather than taking anything that comes.
Questions
Questions clients ask
What services does your social media and content creation agency in Dubai offer?
Sortie Media is a Dubai-based social media and content creation agency providing social media management, photography, videography, short-form video production, Instagram Reels, TikTok content, creative campaigns and drone production.
We create content specifically for digital and social media platforms, helping brands build a stronger, more consistent and visually engaging online presence.
Do you offer social media management and content creation in Dubai?
Yes. We provide complete social media management and content creation services in Dubai, covering strategy, content planning, photography, videography, short-form videos, posting and ongoing account management.
Our services can be tailored for individual campaigns, one-off productions or long-term monthly social media management depending on the requirements of each brand.
Do you provide photography, videography and Reels for social media?
Yes. Our creative team produces professional photography, videography, Instagram Reels, TikTok videos and short-form social media content for brands, restaurants, hotels, hospitality businesses, events and destinations.
Every production is planned around the platform, target audience, brand identity and marketing objectives to ensure the content is created for social media rather than simply adapted for it afterwards.
Do you provide licensed drone photography and videography in Dubai?
Yes. We hold DCAA and GCAA permits, allowing us to carry out commercial drone filming in Dubai and across the UAE, subject to the required project, location and authority approvals.
Commercial drone operations must comply with UAE aviation regulations, and venues and authorities increasingly require proof that the drone operator is properly licensed and permitted before filming can take place.
Sortie Media can provide professional drone photography and aerial videography as part of a wider content production or as a dedicated aerial filming service.
How much does social media content creation cost in Dubai?
The cost of social media content creation in Dubai depends on the scope of the project, number of shooting days, photography and videography requirements, number of deliverables, locations, production requirements and whether ongoing social media management is required.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, Sortie Media creates custom content creation and social media packages based on each brand’s objectives, required deliverables and monthly content needs.
Clients can contact us with their requirements to receive a tailored quotation.
Do you provide content creation services outside the UAE?
Yes. While Sortie Media is based in Dubai, we regularly work on content creation, photography, videography and social media campaigns internationally.
Our team frequently travels for projects across destinations including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Maldives and other international markets.
We can manage the complete production process from Dubai and travel with our creative team depending on the location, campaign and requirements of each project.
