Dune Paid media

Every dollar of media spend, governed.

Dune is the system of governance for paid media. Budgets, plans, bookings, invoices and results live in one place and are checked against each other every day, so you and your agency always know what was planned, what was spent and what it returned.

Dune Direct · Self-serve

Run your own media, end to end.

A self-serve Dune for SMEs that run their own media with no agency. Plan, launch on the ad platforms and follow the results in one workspace, with no onboarding and nobody from Meridian in the way.

Who it is for

  • A D2C brand running its own Meta and TikTok campaigns

    Plan the month, launch from one place and see what every dirham returned, without juggling four ad managers.

  • A retailer with one market and a small marketing team

    Three people, one budget, one calendar, and nothing to reconcile by hand at the end of the month.

  • A founder who runs media between everything else

    Ask Dune Now what is off pace this week instead of opening every platform to find out.

  • A brand outgrowing boosted posts

    Proper plans, version history and pacing alerts, before you are ready to hire an agency.

What you get

  1. 01Launch on Meta, Google, TikTok and Snapchat into your own ad accounts
  2. 02A creative library checked against every platform's specs
  3. 03Budgets, a campaign calendar and full change history
  4. 04Spend and results pulled from the platforms, pacing alerts and ROAS
  5. 05Dune Now and the AI Planning Co-Pilot
  6. 06Reports with CSV, Excel and PDF exports
  • For an SME

    Launch safely

    Every launch is reviewed first, created paused in your ad account and goes live only when you confirm. The platforms bill you directly: Dune never holds or moves your media money.

  • For an SME

    One place for everything

    Plan, launched and delivered sit side by side, so a small team can see what was planned, what is running and what it returned without a spreadsheet.

  • For an SME

    Same engine as the biggest brands

    Direct runs on the same Dune as Core, Growth and Enterprise, so an SME gets the same intelligence and governance, sized for one brand in one market.

Dune Direct opens to new workspaces in early 2027. Leave your email and we will tell you when it does.

FAQ

Questions about Dune.

What is Dune?

Dune is Meridian Systems' media governance platform. It brings budgets, plans, bookings, invoices and campaign results into one system, so brands can see and control every dollar of media spend from plan to delivery.

Do we need to change our media agency?

No. Dune works alongside your existing agency and partners. Your agency works inside the same portal, and you keep approval over every plan and every change.

What is the difference between Dune Direct and the other packages?

Core, Growth and Enterprise are built for brands that work with an agency: the brand holds the licence and its agencies work inside it. Dune Direct removes the agency side and adds launching campaigns on the ad platforms and a creative library, so an SME can run its own media end to end.

How does Dune improve media performance?

Daily pacing alerts flag campaigns that are off plan before money is wasted, results are reported down to the platform, campaign, product and individual creative, and creative performance is compared across platforms.

Which channels and systems does Dune connect to?

Dune connects to media platforms, ad servers, analytics, retail partners, commerce and stock feeds, finance, ERP, point of sale, CRM, data warehouses and documents. Digital channels are covered today, with billboard and TV planning on the roadmap for 2027.

How do we get started?

We start with a discovery session with your media, e-commerce and finance teams, then configure Dune for your brands, markets and agencies. Leave your email below and we will reach out.
