Lebanon has no shortage of good places to eat, drink and unwind. New restaurants, rooftops, beach clubs and spas open all the time, and they all chase the same thing: attention. A great menu or a beautiful terrace is no longer enough on its own. The venues that fill up are the ones that keep showing up in feeds, in stories and in the group chat that decides where to go tonight.
Collabfront, the creator marketplace for MENA brands, is building for exactly that moment. Its new product, Collabfront for Venues, is an invitation only service for Lebanese hospitality. Venues invite the creators they want, host them, and get a verified record of every visit and every post.
Hosting creators with what venues already offer
Collabfront for Venues is open to restaurants, cafes, bars, rooftops, hotels, beach resorts, spas, gyms and studios. Instead of paying cash, a venue hosts creators with what it already offers: a dinner, a night's stay or a spa treatment.
Setup comes in three steps. First, the venue gets listed and describes its invitation, with help from the Collabfront team. Next, the invitation reaches creators in Lebanon who fit the venue. Every creator is reviewed by Collabfront before they can request a visit, and the venue picks exactly who comes.
Finally, the creators visit and post reels, stories and TikToks tagged with the venue and its location. New creators follow week after week, so the venue keeps appearing in front of new audiences.
Every visit confirmed, every post measured
Every creator visit is confirmed and recorded on the platform.
Once a creator posts, Collabfront verifies the views, reach and engagement through Instagram and shows them in the app, so a venue sees exactly who came and who posted. Venues also stay in control before the visit: they review each creator's profile, past work and ratings, and approve content in the app.
For venues that want more, creators can also be booked for paid reels that the venue can reuse as ads.
Results from Dupain, Frozen Cherry and Dipndip
Brands on Collabfront are already reporting returns in earned media value. Dupain's campaign with L'Oréal reached a 1,005% return. Frozen Cherry recorded 747% in one summer month, and Dipndip reached 662% working with more than 30 creators.
L'Avo generated more than $15,000 in earned media over eight weeks. Venues on the platform today include L'Avo, Dupain, Frozen Cherry, Dipndip, Soléa, Bar Lily, G Spa, Rove Pilates, Urban Cup, Namat Beirut and Shot London.
From brand campaigns to venue invitations
Founded in 2026 and headquartered in Dubai, Collabfront is live in Beirut and Dubai. On its core marketplace, brands post a campaign, vetted creators apply, and the content goes live, paid in cash or in product. Dipndip, Yubai and Frozen Cherry use it for creator posts and UGC for ads, and a separate models vertical covers shoots and events.
Collabfront for Venues takes that model into hospitality, where the product is the experience itself. “Lebanon has some of the best venues in the region. They deserve to be seen by the right people, and that’s what we built Collabfront for,” said Ali, founder and CEO of Collabfront.
