Collabfront started with a problem its founder could not solve. Ali Younes wanted to run creator campaigns for a brand, the same play marketers everywhere are leaning on right now. Doing it in Lebanon turned out to be the hard part.
There was no platform and no process. Younes spent hours scrolling Instagram, digging through Discord servers stuffed with Excel sheets full of names, and sending cold DMs with no data behind them. There was no reliable way to know whether any of it would actually work.
The deeper he looked, the more he saw a second problem sitting next to the first. Lebanon has a deep bench of nano and micro creators with loyal audiences and real influence, and most of them were being ignored while brands burned budgets on guesswork. The talent was there. The infrastructure was not.
What Collabfront Actually Does
Collabfront connects brands with local creators for influencer campaigns and user-generated content. Brands can run paid campaigns or set up barter activations, where a creator gets a product or service in exchange for content instead of cash. The result is influencer and UGC content built to convert.
The logic behind it is simple. Traditional ads get scrolled past. People trust the creators they follow, and that trust turns into awareness, credibility, and sales. Collabfront packages that into a tool any Lebanese brand can use.
From One Founder's Frustration to a Platform
Younes describes the moment the idea locked into place. This was not only his problem. Every brand in Lebanon was doing the same thing the hard way, and every creator deserved a better shot at getting hired.
"The talent was always here. The demand was always here. Someone just had to bring them together and build what was missing. Turned out that someone was me," Younes said.
500 Creators and 100 Brands in Three Months
Collabfront is the first app in Lebanon to connect brands with local creators for paid campaigns and barter activations. Three months after launch, it had passed 500 creators and signed up more than 100 registered brands. The app is live on both iOS and Android.
The company is based in Dubai and was founded in 2026. Lebanon was the starting point, not the ceiling. Expansion into the UAE is already underway, and the wider MENA region is the next target.
