Pr, content & community engagement

Since its creation at the start of the 2017 season, we have represented UAE Team Emirates with communications, event operations and commercial advisory services. When first approached by UAE Team Emirates, our role was to launch the UCI World Tour cycling team under a new banner and grow awareness of its purpose in the GCC and key international markets, as well as promote cycling as a sport within the UAE.

 

We have since been the UAE Team Emirates agency of record for the past seven years and created their PR and communication strategy during that time. This includes digital and social planning and execution and ultimately playing a part in the team’s ascension to the top of UCI World Cycling. Notably, we have managed and activated all their community led initiatives and rides across the UAE. In 2023, we helped devise, launch and manage the UAE Team Emirates Youth Academy, an initiative that aims at building bike riding confidence and improving the fitness levels of young children. We have also helped organize a number of their media events, including the team press conference to announce their status as number one in the UCI world ranking.

Client testimonial

“We’ve been side-by-side with UAE Team Emirates since their inception in 2017. Our role has been centred around growing the team across the UAE and Middle East and making Cycling more accessible across the UAE. Fast forward to today; the team were recently ranked #1 UCI World Tour Cycling, the Aldar Youth Cycling Academy saw over 2,000 kids hit the saddle across 8 schools in 2023, and we’ve developed an incredibly strong foothold across the GCC media space, both editorially and digitally. We’re incredibly proud to have played a key role in the team’s journey to date and look forward to further success in the future.”
