— About malaaky

Built in Cairo. For Cairo.

We started with a simple observation: Egypt has some of the most creative voices in the Arab world — and brands kept missing them. malaaky is our fix.

“Every brief matched to the right voice. Every reel delivered on time. Every pound settled fairly.”

malaaky connects verified Egyptian creators with brands who need authentic, short-form UGC. We handle matching, escrow, delivery tracking, and dispute resolution — so brands get great content and creators get paid without the agency middleman.

How we got here.

2022: We kept seeing the same problem — brands running generic international creators for Egyptian campaigns that felt hollow and off-brand.

2023: We started building infrastructure: creator vetting, escrow, brief templates, delivery tracking. All built for EGP, all built for Egypt.

2026: malaaky launched publicly. Cairo-native UGC, on demand.

٢٠٢٢

The gap is noticed.

Months navigating fragmented WhatsApp groups and overpriced agencies. The idea for a proper marketplace is born.

٢٠٢٣

The build begins.

80+ creator interviews. A quiet beta with creators from Cairo, Giza, and Alexandria who shaped the rules of the platform.

٢٠٢٦

Public launch.

malaaky opens to all brands and creators. 234 verified creators. 20+ cities. Direct EGP payments. No markup.

— what we stand for

Four things we won’t compromise.

01

Creator-first

Creators set their own rates. They keep everything they earn. We make zero on their labour.

02

Cairo-native

Built for Egypt, not adapted for it. EGP payments, Arabic briefs, local studios.

03

Transparent

No hidden fees. No surprise markups. Every number visible before you commit.

04

Quality over volume

Every creator is manually reviewed. We’d rather have 200 great creators than 2,000 average ones.
