It is our 10th Anniversary!
As I am writing this letter, I cannot quite believe that it has been ten years since launching MEAComS. In April 2008, I was discussing with my friend the idea of establishing my own business and one thing led to another and we began brainstorming business names. Ever since that moment, I knew deep down that my goal was to start my own business and I worked very hard to realize my dream.
But dreaming is not enough. What differentiates MEAComS from other agencies is our understanding our local, regional and global clients and providing them with strategic, integrated communications and effective implementation to support our clients short and long-term business goals.
That is how we call it. All the way from South Africa to Dubai, MEAComS won the African Excellence Award for the category of “External Publication” and we were shortlisted at the Middle East Public Relations Awards (MEPRA) for the category of Social Responsibility & Environmental PR for the Shell Technology Leadership 2016 (STLC) conference. Also in this digested issue, we will take you in a surreal journey to the unique places we have visited, our yummy cheese cake celebrations, and the great work we are proud to have achieved with our clients in 2017.
It is this time we reach out to thank our clients for the partnership and show our gratitude to the growing opportunities that pave our way.
Looking forward to much bigger achievements in 2018, with a bigger family and a client’s portfolio!
Our issue # 14: is all about #Travel and #Explore. Fresh from our win at the African Excellence Award for the Best Corporate Video and Film and attending the ceremony in South Africa, 2016 has been all about exploring new ideas and places.
