Dubai2024

A European skincare brand enters the Gulf

A Scandinavian skincare brand with strong European credentials but no Middle East presence. We mapped the competitive landscape, identified the right retail partners, and built a launch PR strategy that positioned the brand as a considered alternative to the category's dominant players.

  • Secured placement in three premium Dubai retailers within six months of launch
  • Twelve editorial placements in regional beauty press in the first quarter
  • Brand awareness established ahead of broader GCC rollout

Berlin2024

A grooming brand finds its footing in Berlin

A Middle Eastern grooming brand with a loyal regional following wanted to establish a presence in Europe. Berlin was the right entry point — culturally aligned, with an independent retail scene that rewards authenticity. We made the introductions and built the content strategy to support the launch.

  • Distribution secured with four independent Berlin retailers
  • Brand featured in two major German lifestyle publications
  • Social content strategy developed for European audience

Zanzibar2025

A lifestyle brand launches in Zanzibar

A coastal wellness brand saw Zanzibar as a natural fit — the market's growing luxury hospitality sector aligned perfectly with the brand's positioning. We built the market entry strategy, managed press relations, and facilitated the hotel and resort partnerships that gave the brand immediate distribution and visibility.

  • Partnerships established with five luxury resort properties
  • Brand featured in international travel and lifestyle press
  • Foundation laid for broader East Africa expansion
04Brand PR · Content
Beirut · Dubai2025

Rebuilding a Beirut brand's regional narrative

A heritage Lebanese beauty brand with decades of local history needed to reframe its story for a regional audience. We developed a new editorial narrative, managed a regional press campaign, and built a content strategy that honoured the brand's roots while positioning it for contemporary growth.

  • Regional press campaign reaching audiences across the GCC and Levant
  • New brand narrative adopted across all communications
  • Significant increase in regional stockist enquiries following campaign

We work with a small number of clients at any one time. Full case study details and client references are available on request.
