Branding in Dubai: questions

Which sectors should a brand in Dubai be ready for?

Real estate and construction, trade and financial services make up most of Dubai's economy, and oil and gas less than 5% of revenues. A brand selling here usually competes for international buyers and investors, so it needs a premium, consistent look in English and Arabic. Source: Wikipedia: Dubai, Economy

Do free-zone companies in Dubai need a different brand approach?

Often, yes. Free zones such as Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City group tech and media firms like Google, Microsoft, Oracle, MBC and Reuters in one place. A smaller company there is compared directly with global names, so its positioning has to be sharper and its proof easier to find. Source: Wikipedia: Dubai, Economy

Who are Dubai's biggest trading partners, and why does that matter for branding?

In 2014 China, India and the United States were Dubai's largest trading partners. Many Dubai brands sell to these markets, so we test names and taglines for how they read in English and Arabic and how they travel to India and beyond. Source: Wikipedia: Dubai, Economy

Do you have an office in Dubai, and how do you work with teams there?

No, not in the city itself. Our Frankfurt office, which serves Dubai, is 4,850 km away in a straight line. Dubai is on Gulf Standard Time (GST), 3 hours ahead of Frankfurt in winter and 2 hours ahead in summer, so we agree call times that suit both teams. Meet us in person at our Frankfurt office or at any of our 10 offices, or by video.
