Questions we get

What is a brand activation?

An activation turns a campaign into something people experience in person, such as a mall pop-up, a storefront takeover, a product demo or an interactive installation, so they remember the brand and share it.

Do mall activations need approvals in Dubai?

Yes. Malls have their own approval process for designs, installation and timings, and some promotional activities also need a permit from Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism. We build these approvals into the timeline.

How do you measure the success of an activation?

We agree the measures before launch, such as footfall, dwell time, sign-ups or leads, samples given and social reach, and report against them afterwards.

Can an activation include AR, VR or AI?

Yes. For the Huawei-e& experience at GITEX Global we built AR, VR and AI-led demos of emerging technology.

Can an activation run in several countries?

Yes. We deliver across the GCC; SHEIN Summer Bloom, for example, ran in Kuwait.

Do you capture content during the activation?

Yes. Photography, video and social-ready assets are captured so the activation keeps working online after it closes.
