Influencer List for B2B Content in UAE

We are seeking a freelancer to compile a list of relevant influencers on Instagram and YouTube who focus on B2B content for UAE business owners. The ideal candidate will have experience in marketing strategy and lead generation, particularly in the B2B sector. The task involves identifying influencers who can effectively reach and engage with UAE business owners, enhancing our brand's visibility and influence in the region. ## Creator Type categories I'm hunting The MOST VALUABLE category is "Operator-Creator" and "Service Provider" — these are people who serve B2B audiences and whose followers ARE my buyers. Hunt aggressively for: 1. **Operator-Creator** — UAE agency owners, founders, freelancers posting about RUNNING their business (not selling services to consumers). Highest priority. 2. **Service Provider** — UAE-based marketing/sales/HR/recruitment/ web design/SEO/PR/creative agency owners with content presence. They serve my exact ICP. High priority. 3. **Lifestyle Vlogger** — UAE entrepreneur/expat/founder vloggers, "moved to Dubai" creators covering business and life logistics. Medium-high priority. 4. **Educator** — Personal finance, productivity, business systems, no-code, AI-tools-for-business creators with UAE audiences. Medium priority. 5. **Personal Finance** — UAE-focused personal finance creators (Dubai expat money, FIRE in UAE, etc.). Their audience overlaps heavily with founder ICP. Medium priority. ## HARD EXCLUSIONS — skip even if otherwise relevant - Accounting firms, tax consultants, bookkeepers, audit services (direct competitors) - ANY creator whose primary offering is accounting or tax services for UAE businesses - News outlets, corporate brand accounts, government channels - Pure travel/tourism vlogs with no business angle - Pure luxury/fashion/aesthetic Dubai content - Inactive accounts (no post in 45+ days) - Bot-looking accounts (engagement 0.3%, comment patterns look fake) ## CONDITIONAL INCLUSIONS — include with care, score appropriately - Business setup / company formation consultants: INCLUDE only if they don't also offer accounting/tax services. Many do both — check their bio and recent content. If accounting/tax is mentioned as a service, EXCLUDE. - Real estate creators: INCLUDE only if content covers Dubai founder/entrepreneur lifestyle, Golden Visa for business owners, or relocation-for-business angles. Skip pure property listing channels. - Financial advisors / wealth managers: INCLUDE — their audience overlaps with our ICP and they don't compete with us. - Lawyers / legal content: INCLUDE if focused on UAE business formation, contracts, IP — they're adjacent service providers.
