Arcato is a design studio built for two things only, and Dubai property is one of them. Brand system, website, listing carousels, agent creative, Meta ad variants and ten Reels a month — the whole creative function of a brokerage, produced against an approved calendar, priced at AED 6,500 a month, agreed in writing before anything starts.
Everyone is fighting for the same feed, with the same portal screenshots, in the same three fonts. The gap is not effort. It is that nobody can produce at the cadence the platform now demands and still keep it looking like one brand.
The working cadence in Dubai property is four to five Reels a week, two or three posts, and five to seven stories a day. No agent produces that alone, and no agent should be trying to at 11pm.
And video is almost always a separate line item on top — quoted per film, invoiced per film. The month you most need a launch cut is the month the retainer stops covering it.
The global “unlimited design” services — $490 to $5,000 a month — explicitly exclude animated graphics and video, or charge a separate tier for it. In property, motion is the product.
So the offer here is narrow on purpose: one sector, one monthly number, motion included, and nothing that needs a meeting.
Fifteen frames: the Almaz brand system end to end, four Reel covers built as weekly templates, and one open house written four different ways so the auction — not the designer — decides which hook wins. Tap any frame to see it full size.
Nothing here yet.
Self-initiated studio work. Concept brand, real system — every frame drawn, set and rendered here, not dropped into a template. See all 134 pieces →
This is the part almost every design subscription leaves out, and the part a property buyer actually scrolls for. It is included in the monthly fee, not quoted separately.
One number, billed on the 1st, cancel with 30 days’ notice. No setup fee, no per-asset creep, no separate video invoice.
| Arcato — creative dept. | Dubai agency retainer | Global design subscription | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | AED 6,500 | AED 5,000–20,000 | AED 1,800–18,000 |
| Reels | 10 included | Around 4, brand and site quoted separately | Usually excluded entirely |
| Knows your sector | Property and clinics only | Mixed book | Generalist by design |
| How you reach us | Written, same working day | Account manager, calls | Ticket queue |
| Who owns the files | You, from invoice one | Usually you, on request | Varies by plan |
Two things are worth saying plainly. Booked-contractor day rates rose 5–6% year on year in the UK and US while demand for basic graphic design fell 28% — cheap production is dying, specialised systems are not. And AED 6,500 sits below the Dubai agency floor, because a studio of one has no account-management layer to fund — and above what a junior in-house marketer costs, because a junior cannot cut a Reel, build a brand system or ship a website.
The whole thing is designed so you spend under thirty minutes a month on it.
You send listings, photography, agent names and whatever brand you already have. If you have nothing, that is fine — month one builds it.
Type, colour, grid, listing card, payment-plan layout, ad frame and Reel template. Approved once, then everything downstream stays consistent without another decision from you.
A month of posts, Reels and stories laid out in advance. You approve it in one pass, in writing. Changes are cheap at this stage and expensive later, so this is where we slow down.
Everything delivered sized, captioned and named for scheduling. Source files at month end. Then the next calendar lands before the current month runs out.
If yours is not here, put it in the brief below and you will get an answer today.
Yes. Every listing layout and ad template in the system has a fixed, legible slot for the permit number, the QR code and the ORN, positioned so it survives Instagram's crop. Nothing leaves here with that slot empty.
No, and that is deliberate. We produce and hand over — sized, captioned, sequenced and ready to schedule. You or your social person publishes. Your account stays under your control and there is no password to revoke if we ever part ways.
The system is built with an Arabic variant from the first month — right-to-left grids, the type pairing and the line lengths all tested. Translation copy comes from you, or we can arrange it separately and quote it.
It is the single most requested layout in Dubai property, so it is a standard template in every system we build: a clean 10/10/20/60 breakdown that stays legible at thumbnail size.
You do, from the first invoice. Editable source files are handed over at the end of every month, not held hostage.
Not in the same community at the same time. One brokerage per community — that is written into the agreement.
Never required. Briefs, feedback and approvals all work in writing or on WhatsApp, including voice notes. If you want a call we will take one, but the studio is built so you do not need it.
Bank transfer in AED or USD. Retainers are billed on the 1st, Net 15. Project work is 50% upfront. You get a proper invoice for your accounts every month.
