M&C Saatchi to open Dubai office

M&C Saatchi Group is pleased to announce major investment in United Arab Emirates, bringing its Brutal Simplicity of Thought philosophy to Dubai.

M&C Saatchi Dubai will open its doors in February 2016, following the acquisition of the regional communications agency Expression. Scott Feasey, founder and former Managing Director of Expression, will lead the Dubai and Abu Dhabi offices as CEO with Creative Partner, Ryan Reed.

Feasey will drive client business and growth across new business and existing clients including Mashreq Bank, Etihad, Unilever, Carrefour and Go Sport.
