We harness AI to create the next generation of brand experiences — from generative campaign assets and personalization systems to custom AI applications and automated marketing workflows.
We take on a limited number of partnerships each year. Our work is deeply collaborative and strategic. Align your Why with our Y.
A diversified family business group, with multiple operating entities across sectors, faced a recurring institutional challenge: complexity diluted authority. The Chairperson’s public voice carried weight in private rooms but lacked a consistent platform externally. Each entity told its own story, on its own channels, in its own register, leaving the group’s collective credibility under-leveraged.
The Y emerged clearly: this wasn’t a content problem. It was a sovereignty-of-voice problem. The group needed one coherent institutional layer, not five competing ones.
We architected a group-wide communications system. We led group-level communications strategy encompassing LinkedIn executive positioning, thought leadership development, proactive reputation management, and multi-entity digital platforms — including web, SEO, and GEO optimization. No service padding, every layer designed to operate at the institutional level the group’s stature required.
Senior practitioners from the collective deployed across the three workstreams in parallel: a strategy lead embedded at group level, a PR director managing Chairperson engagements and a digital team rebuilding the multi-entity architecture. Every discipline working from the same strategic foundation.

media training, message development & reputation management

We designed and produced a two-day padel event that became a community moment, welcoming hundreds of participants across all ages and uniting influencers, media, and families around a meaningful cause.
Our ability to combine strategic storytelling, influencer partnerships, and community-led campaigns made us the right fit for a cause-driven event of this sensitivity.

Tim Hortons came to us with two campaign windows running in parallel: a KSA national-scale brand campaign and a new bundle product launch rolling across the GCC. The diagnosis surfaced the real challenge underneath the campaign briefs, a global QSR brand needs to feel locally authored in every market it operates, and the KSA and wider GCC consumer doesn’t respond to creative translated from elsewhere. The campaign couldn’t just run in the region; it had to feel from the region.
The Y was about cultural register: this was a creative-and-execution problem requiring local fluency at every layer, from concept through influencer voice through in-store experience.
We architected a single end-to-end workstream covering both campaigns. Creative concept developed for cultural relevance, not translated. Influencer partnerships curated for genuine resonance with KSA and GCC audiences, not chosen by follower count. PR and media relations to amplify both campaigns through earned coverage. And full execution ownership, in-store branding and OOH, so the experience the consumer met in the field matched the concept on the deck. No vendor stack, no creative-to-production handoff risk.
A senior team from the collective owned both campaigns in parallel: creative director, strategy lead, influencer producer, PR director, and production team coordinating in-store branding and OOH deployment across markets. One foundation, two campaigns, full continuity from creative concept to consumer touchpoint.

Alongside Masdar, OQ, Nama PWP, and APSR on landmark projects like Ibri III (Oman’s first utility-scale solar project with storage), Al Khadra needed a voice proportionate to its actual stake.
The Y was sharp: this wasn’t a visibility play. It was a peer-positioning play. The market already knew the consortium, what they needed to know was Al Khadra’s specific role within it.
We architected an integrated programme calibrated to peer register. PR and proactive media relations to anchor Al Khadra’s role in consortium narratives. Brand positioning that codified the clean-energy proposition in language credible to ministerial, financial, and industry audiences. Executive thought leadership pieces drafted to the register of the institutions they sit beside. And a new corporate website to consolidate the digital footprint. No more, no less.
A senior team assembled from the collective: an institutional PR director, a brand strategist with energy-sector fluency, a thought leadership writer briefed on consortium dynamics, and a digital team building the corporate site. Coordinated weekly against the group’s stakeholder calendar.

Mathnasium needed enrollment growth in Sharjah, and the diagnosis revealed the real challenge wasn’t price, location, or product. It was content relevancy among the audience. Parents making the decision didn’t connect with Mathnasium’s existing content to consider it. Generic awareness wouldn’t close the gap; what was needed was content that reached the specific parent segment most likely to convert, in the language and channels they actually used.
The Y was targeting precision: this was a “right message, right audience, right channel” problem disguised as a media spend problem.
We architected an integrated content and performance system. Strategic advisory to define the parent segment and the messaging that would resonate with them. Content production engineered for the channels that segment actually used, video and photo shoots built for paid social, not generic brand assets. Digital ads management running against the strategy, with creative and targeting iterated based on performance. End-to-end campaign production owned under one team, so insight, creative, and media operated as one feedback loop, not three.
A senior team assembled across strategy, creative, and digital: strategist setting the segmentation and message hierarchy, creative director leading shoots, production team capturing video and photo, and a digital performance lead managing paid campaigns and optimization. Weekly performance reviews fed insight back into the creative pipeline.

Sharjah Chamber of Commerce was preparing to represent the UAE, and Sharjah specifically at the Sharjah – Europe Business Women Forum. The challenge wasn’t just logistical, it was representational. A sovereign delegation needs a brand presence and editorial register credible to European institutional audiences, while simultaneously producing a content layer that travels back home to UAE stakeholders. Two markets, one delegation, no margin for inconsistency.
The Y emerged in the working session: this wasn’t about producing assets. It was about translating Sharjah’s commercial ambition into a visual and editorial language credible at the sovereign-to-sovereign level.
We architected a single integrated workstream owning the visual and editorial layer end-to-end, not a vendor stack of disconnected suppliers. The mix that earned its place: event branding system, professional on-ground photography and videography, and bespoke editorial content engineered for dual-market amplification (European press and UAE home-market simultaneously). Every recommendation rooted in the institutional register a sovereign delegation requires.
A senior team from the collective deployed on-ground in the Belgium: brand director, production lead, photographer, videographer, and editorial lead working from the same strategic foundation. Coverage produced in real-time, briefed back to UAE stakeholders, and adapted for both press and social channels.

The Family Business Council (FBCG) sought to launch a regional awards platform. An awards programme is only as credible as the institution behind it, and the institution would be partly judged by the awards. The platform needed to carry the council’s institutional weight from night one, not earn it over years. Anything that read as ceremonial without rigor would erode both the awards and the council.
The Y was clear: this wasn’t about throwing a good event. It was about engineering institutional credibility into the platform’s foundation: brand, format, and execution treated as one strategic act.
We architected a coherent stack. Brand positioning and logo development for the FBCG Awards as a distinct sub-brand sitting credibly under the council parent. Full event conceptualization with creative direction matched to the institutional tone.
A senior team assembled from across the collective: brand strategist, identity designer, creative director, production lead, and content team. The team owned the mandate ensuring institutional precision held at every touchpoint.

Beyond branding, we handled all marketing operations, leveraging influencer partnerships to amplify the brand’s ethos and executing strategic media buying to effectively engage Gen Z.
Our end-to-end capability — from brand strategy through digital execution — meant Raena Beauty could launch in the Middle East with a single strategic partner rather than coordinating multiple agencies.
