Ramadan UGC playbook

UGC MENA teamUpdated 2 min read

Key takeaways

  • Brief early — creators' calendars fill before the month starts.
  • Match the moment: suhoor, iftar, gifting and Eid each need a different tone.
  • Respect the season — keep scenes warm, family-friendly and modest.

Timing

Plan briefs, approvals and rights before Ramadan begins, so content is ready for the first week. Leave room for Eid content as a separate brief.

Tip: Ask creators how their own family marks the moment. Real routines beat staged scenes.

Tone and care

  • Avoid filming food or drink during fasting hours in public settings.
  • Keep music and humour appropriate to the season.
  • Brief one dialect per market for a local feel.
