Hive Honey Cake is a bakery and dessert brand based in Qatar. Before working with AQRate Media, Hive had a growing product but a digital presence that was scattered across platforms with no single team tying social growth, content, and paid advertising back to actual store sales.
AQRate Media took over Hive's complete digital presence — social media management and Shopify-driven marketing across Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube, paid advertising on Meta and Snapchat, and all content production, including posts, AI-generated content, and video. Every campaign was built around key Qatar retail moments — Ramadan, Eid, National Day and Sports Day — and every piece of work was tied back to real, trackable sales across channels, not just vanity engagement.
Instead of splitting Hive's marketing across separate vendors, AQRate Media runs every channel from one team — so social content, paid ads and the Shopify store all pull in the same direction.
Day-to-day management of Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube — consistent posting, community management and a content calendar built around what actually gets Hive's audience to engage.
Hive's Shopify store is the destination for every campaign — product pages, promotions and store content are managed in sync with social and paid activity, not as an afterthought.
Always-on prospecting and retargeting campaigns across Facebook and Instagram feeds, stories and reels — built to drive landing page visits and website purchases, not just impressions.
High-impact, mobile-first Snap Ads reaching a younger Qatar audience with low cost-per-click campaigns that convert directly into Shopify purchases.
Posts, AI-generated content and video produced in-house — built to work across every platform Hive is active on, from Instagram Reels to Snapchat and TikTok.
Every major Qatar retail moment — Ramadan, Eid, National Day and Sports Day — planned as its own campaign, timed to when Hive's customers are actually ready to buy.
These are Hive's actual performance figures, matching the reporting dashboards AQRate Media shares with the client — not projections or estimates.
Meta Ads results — 4.8M+ impressions, 941K+ reach
Snapchat Ads results — 3.2M+ impressions, 27K+ clicks

“AQRate Media has helped Hive show up consistently and connect with the right audience online.”
Hive's growth came from treating social media, content and paid ads as one connected system instead of three separate jobs handled by three separate vendors. The same team writing Hive's Instagram captions also built the Meta and Snapchat ad campaigns and managed the Shopify store those ads pointed to — so every follower gained, every impression served, and every click paid for was working toward the same goal: real purchases, not just reach.
Timing mattered just as much as the channel mix. Campaigns were planned around the moments Qatar shoppers are actually buying — Ramadan, Eid, National Day and Sports Day — instead of running generic always-on ads year-round. That's the same full-funnel approach AQRate Media brings to every client, whether they're based in Calicut, across Kerala, or — like Hive — running an international business from Qatar.
