Ramadan 2026: Google examines video, creators and connected TV in MENA
Ramadan is not a homogeneous audience, and a video plan is not a choice between large screen and telephone. The interest of this Google analysis is to open questions about the moments of attention, formats and cultural participation; its examples must remain linked to their original period.

The signal: what is documented
In an analysis published in February 2026, Think with Google examines the video usages during Ramadan in the MENA region. The text addresses connected television, participatory formats, creators and podcasts. Several examples described relate to the previous Ramadan: they should not be presented as campaigns carried out in 2026. The source comes from Google and reflects its advertising ecosystem.
The point for a brand is the diversity of times of consumption and ways to participate in a media culture. The same family can alternate large screen, short video and designer content. This calls for work on context and formats, rather than a single representation of the audience or a simple seasonal dressing.

From the moment of life, not from the cliché
The same person can watch family content, follow a creator alone or look for a practical offer. A cultural strategy is more likely to distinguish these contexts rather than multiply the expected seasonal signs. The role of strategic planning is to explain the link between an observation, an idea and a media device. A local setting or vocabulary is not enough to establish this link.
A creation is not identical
On a shared screen, the rhythm, presence of sound and distance of playback do not pose the same questions as in a mobile stream. For the social, one must prepare for entry into the video and its understanding without context. This does not automatically justify a different production for each platform: A creative system can organize variations around a common promise and stable brand rules.
Where AI can help a multicultural team
The tool can offer script structures, transcriptions or variants of subtitles. Validation must remain anchored in the actual use of the language, references and offer. In a fictional example intended for a French-speaking diaspora, a literal translation can be correct and yet miss the desired tone. A local rereading and an understanding test then bring more than a new series of automatic variants.
Select evidence on the right scale
A MENA data does not mechanically represent each Maghreb country, let alone each European diaspora.A plan must specify the territories concerned, the sources and the period.The results of a platform must be reconciled, where possible, with other signals: understanding the message, qualified visits or requests received. The contribution of a creator should not be reduced to the number of views of its publication.
The point of vigilance
Check the period and country of each data before using it in a media recommendation for the Maghreb or European diasporas.
