Siren’s Golden Opportunities in Dubai
If you haven’t seen the news from team Siren, we’ve got an exciting story to share… We’re going global!
With the very real possibility of developing an international arm to Siren in the near future, we met up with MD Harps to talk about his recent visit it #Dubai with some of our senior paid team to discuss the opportunities available to us in the UAE, the allure of growth in a foreign country and what the future of our organisation might hold for us as a Birmingham based digital marketing agency with global ambitions.
Aside from Dubai making headlines for its rapid expansion, what drew you to the UAE?
‘Having previously visited Dubai on holiday, there is something about it that draws me to go back time and time again. The fact that 90% of the population in Dubai are expatriates means that these people have moved out of their comfort zone to achieve something & push boundaries – I find this alluring.’
So, in your experience the nation is a real melting pot. Does that encourage you to expand business in the region?
‘Absolutely! Having seen the economic growth in Dubai over the last decade, I had set a goal of one day setting up ‘Siren Dubai’. So when the opportunity to pitch to esteemed brands arose through my network, I jumped at the opportunity to get out there and pitch in person alongside my team.’
It sounds like an exciting opportunity for us. Do you think there are barriers, such as communication, which may arise from such a broad demographic in the UAE?
‘Not at all. There are so many cultures, languages and people there all wanting to make a mark which instils a sense of achievement and opportunity. It helps that English is the most commonly spoken language, this makes things a lot easier being British. Everyone is so welcoming and liberal, a far cry from common misconceptions of middle-eastern countries.’
A land of opportunity indeed. We hear that you and the team have plenty more information to share about your Dubai trip, but we’ll save that for another time.
‘We’ve got some big news around the corner, that’s for certain but we don’t want to spoil all of the surprises just yet!’
