How Swavy helped

Prior to Swavy, GCC Tourism Government Entity managed influencer campaigns across multiple agencies using manual coordination through WhatsApp, emails, and spreadsheets. With Swavy’s platform, the entire process became centralized, automated, and significantly more efficient.

Approach:

Swavy onboarded the GCC Tourism Government Entity and its agencies onto the platform and set up the campaigns by defining creator profiles, guidelines, objectives, and compliance requirements

2

AI-Powered Influencer Discovery & Brand Approval:
AI shortlisted influencers based on metrics such as engagement rate, average watch time, audience demographics, and geographic reach. The final influencer selection was approved by the GCC Tourism Government Entity

3

Content Submission:
Approved creators then produced content based on the campaign briefs and submitted it through the platform

4

Content Review & Compliance Check:
AI checked all submitted content for compliance with campaign guidelines, with the GCC Tourism Government Entity conducting the final review and approval

5

Posting & Performance Tracking:
Approved content was published and performance was monitored on the platform across all creators in real-time

6

Analysis & Optimization for Influencer Persona:
AI leveraged performance data and sentiment analysis to generate data-driven influencer personas across markets and platforms
