THERE IS NO SITE that we can VISIT and view the pictures online.
Sorouh was supposed to get back to all those of us who submitted pics online. But as usual and atypical of the way things work here. eVERYTHING IS LAUNCHED WITH A big bang AND A LOT OF fanfare and the pssshhhhhh…it all fizzles out.

Sum1,

It’s good to read a post before posting a comment on it. Go back and read the first sentence. Sorouh is based in Abu Dhabi – its poster is in Dubai. Who’s the freak, then

Good day Viktoria,

Once an advertising agency selects you for modelling a brand, you’d have to be physically present for the shoot. Modelling agencies usually supply talent to ad agencies.

Hey Greg,

I’d think that a publication like Forbes Arabia might be a good niche option. But if you’re going to invest valuable media dollars, I recommedn that you consult a specialist media agency. Online would give you more value for your money, I personally think.

You can email me for further queries.

Hello Farrukh,

The demographic I am looking to find would be in the high end development sector. Another would be high net worth individuals looking for a vacation home. Do you have any that you could recomend? I have never been to the UAE so until I visit I am trying to get others first hand opinions.

Best wishes

Hi Greg,

The UAE has more than 300 print publications – many of these are targeted to the high-end market. You could go for many niche publications or a few mass ones. Portals and websites which can give you a user demographic could also be good ideas.

Yet, I am not sure what demographic in the UAE would like to buy property in the US.

Hello farrukh,

Can you recomend a good outlet to advertise in to reach a high end demographic in UAE? I am a Realtor in the U.S. ( Florida ) and I represent high end homes and many other commercial projects such as hotels and multi – family housing.

Thanks

Hi Jessica and welcome,

Sorry for the delay in replying – this is a busy time with lots of campaigns and deadlines. And thanks for the kind words.

What do really mean when you say customer profile? Are you talking demographics? There are companies and agencies that do consumer research, and real estate research. Call me when you have time. I could suggest a few names.

Hey,

First of all , this blog is a very good idea, so congrats farrukh.
I am working in a marketing department of a Real Estate company in in the UAE. I need to get some information about the customer profile in the country and the region more generally. Do you know where I can get such information?

Thanks in advance

Welcome Don,

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

True – Dubai has a knack for superlatives. Not necessarily a bad or damaging thing in my opinion if it leads to superlative experiences too. Let’s see how the world’s tallest tower and the first ever underground hotel turn out to be.

One could argue that brands should donate their marketing and advertising budgets to charity too in addition to the part they set apart for CSR initiatives. I tend to think that successful marketing and PR campaigns that create a buzz will lead to a greater market share, leading to greater profits to set apart for humanitarian causes.

Charity, mixed with Marketing and PR in big size. Very smart.

Dubai is the place of the biggest things…but without soul.

How much did cost to build that poster? It wouldn’t have been easy to build the homes for the homeless? but what am I thinking!!?? then, it wouldn’t have had the same impact.

It is similar to the RED campaign in America.

Has anyone considered this as damaging advertising? I read an article published in a Canadian Newspaper, criticising strongly Dubai because it seems desperate to get “the biggest” titles.

For me it is an other brick on the wall , and an unsipatizacing feeling with Sorouh.
