About Malin and Jakob
Malin and Jakob is an English-language YouTube channel run by two Swedish expats who have lived abroad for more than eight years and are now based in Dubai, UAE. According to their channel description, they document their own real estate investment journey, remote work and life across several countries. Videos include Dubai property tours, neighborhood walkthroughs and travel guides to places such as Bali, Bangkok, Seoul and Da Nang, with uploads roughly every 10 days.
The channel has about 8,700 subscribers and a median view count near 4,800 per long-form video. Audience estimates suggest viewers are mostly 25 to 44 and split between the United States, the United Kingdom and Scandinavia, though this is an estimate and not platform-reported data. Sponsored work appears rare, with one Holafly eSIM placement found in the last 50 videos.
Brands considering a sponsored video can expect a rate of $150 to $250 per video, which works out to roughly $20 to $35 CPM on median views. That is above typical paid-ad CPMs of $10 to $30, so the placement should be justified by audience fit rather than raw reach. The channel suits Dubai property, expat, travel tech and remote-work brands.
