TradeMalta remains committed to empowering Malta-based businesses with the tools and support they need to expand internationally. As part of its broader internationalisation support, TradeMalta is currently accepting applications for its Digital Marketing Incentive Scheme, designed to help businesses harness the power of digital advertising and connect with global audiences in a strategic, cost-effective manner.
This incentive is particularly valuable for businesses looking to enhance their geographical reach and promote their products or services internationally. Through this scheme, eligible companies can receive partial refunds on key digital marketing expenses.*
The eligible expenses are:
- Direct advertising on major search engines (Google Ads, Bing Ads) and social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook), provided they target international markets.
- Online advertising on industry-specific and audience-focused digital platforms.
- SEO investments aimed at improving visibility in global markets.
- Digital design costs (visuals, graphics etc) related to the creation of the specific advertising content which is being claimed.
To qualify, companies must clearly define their target markets and products in their application. TradeMalta places strong emphasis on strategic planning, requiring evidence that businesses have carefully considered their digital marketing approach before applying.**
The scheme covers expenses related to spend and the actual design of the assets for the campaign and businesses will be asked to provide their invoices as issued by Google, LinkedIn or similar platforms to be eligible for the refund.
Don’t miss this opportunity to amplify your international presence. For more details, visit www.trademalta.org/digital-marketing/ or contact TradeMalta at info@trademalta.org.
