In their words

“Their input into our social strategy has been incredible. We are already having conversations with great UAE brands...”
Lise Slane, CEO of Lollapalooza

How we built it

  1. LinkedIn business presence

    We created a dedicated LinkedIn Business Network Page as the brand's B2B home while the website was in development — a credible base for reaching industry players and investors.

  2. Founder-led strategy

    We built the strategy around CEO Lise Slane's presence, using a personal, founder-led voice to make the brand relatable and trustworthy to partners and collaborators.

  3. Story-driven B2B content

    We produced compelling content and behind-the-scenes material showcasing the creative process, focused squarely on B2B audience engagement rather than vanity reach.

Questions

Do you offer social media marketing in Dubai?

Yes. Karve offers social media marketing and consultancy for brands in Dubai and across the UAE, including B2B strategies like the LinkedIn programme we built for Lollapalooza.

Why use LinkedIn for B2B marketing in the UAE?

LinkedIn is where industry players, investors and collaborators gather. For a UAE brand seeking partnerships, a focused LinkedIn presence builds credibility and opens B2B conversations — even before a website launches.

Can you run marketing before our website is ready?

Yes. For Lollapalooza we built a LinkedIn-led B2B presence while their website was in production, so the brand could attract partners and investors without waiting for launch.

What does a founder-led social strategy involve?

It centres content around the founder's voice and presence — in this case CEO Lise Slane — with behind-the-scenes storytelling that makes the brand relatable and trustworthy to a B2B audience.

How do you measure success for a B2B LinkedIn campaign like this?

For Lollapalooza we tracked the metrics that matter for partnership-building rather than vanity numbers: follower growth among relevant industry profiles, engagement on founder-led posts, inbound connection requests, and the quality of conversations with potential partners and investors. The goal was credible reach with the right audience, not just impressions.

Can you keep the marketing consistent once our website launches?

Yes. Because we ran Lollapalooza's pre-launch LinkedIn presence ourselves, we can carry the same brand voice, founder-led storytelling and B2B positioning straight into the post-launch phase — extending the social strategy to point traffic at the new website and keep momentum with the partners and investors already engaged.
