More than a decadein the Gulf.

 

Working across Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.

Knowing the region changes the work

We’ve been creating and delivering work across the Gulf for more than a decade.

Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia taught us that understanding the “what” is only half the job. You also need to understand the “how”: how decisions are made, how projects move, how relationships work and how ambitious ideas survive the realities of execution.

Work in the region

Work we’ve directed and led in the region spans the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, from promos and idents to the launch event of the volunteer programme; 22 episodes of Qatar Stories for Discovery Channel; Start Here for Al Jazeera; and commercials for QNB, Ooredoo, Qatar Tourism, Floward and Chevrolet. In real estate and hospitality we’ve made films for The Pearl Island, Gewan Island and Corinthia Yacht Club.

Why a Swiss studio

We combine that regional experience with European creative direction and an international production network. For clients in Doha, Dubai and Riyadh we are creative agency and video production company in one: brand films, commercials, corporate videos and drone filming.

Our base is in Lugano, Switzerland, and Dirk spent several years working in Doha. We work in English, Arabic, French, Italian and German.

On the ground when the work needs us to be.
