KLIQ, Saudi Arabia’s first AI-powered end-to-end influencer marketing platform, has raised $2.25 million in seed funding to scale its operations and enhance its proprietary technology. The round was led by Sanabil Venture Studio by Stryber, part of Sanabil Investments, and will accelerate KLIQ’s mission to create smarter, fairer, and fully measurable collaborations between brands and creators.
Solving the Creator Economy’s Biggest Challenges
The creator economy in Saudi Arabia is expanding rapidly, but brands and influencers still face common pain points.
- For brands: Campaigns are difficult to scale and measure, with manual processes and limited insights into performance.
- For creators: Inconsistent income, delayed payments, and limited access to quality brand partnerships restrict growth.
KLIQ was built to solve these challenges from the ground up. Rather than adding another tool, it provides the infrastructure that supports the entire influencer marketing cycle—powered by advanced AI and automation.
Building Smarter Connections with AI
KLIQ’s platform offers a full-lifecycle marketing solution, enabling seamless collaboration between brands and creators. Key features include:
- Intelligent Creator Discovery: AI analyses audience data and campaign goals to match brands with the most relevant influencers.
- Automated Campaign Management: Contracts, briefs, and performance tracking are all handled in one place.
- Real-Time Analytics: Brands gain continuous insight into reach, engagement, and ROI, helping them make data-backed decisions.
According to Asma’a AlMaraghi, Co-founder and CEO of KLIQ, this investment marks a turning point:
“We’re building a platform where authentic connections drive meaningful interactions and sustainable growth. Our goal is to make influencer marketing both effective and equitable.”
