Due to recent market dynamics and competition growth, DAFZA wanted to redefine its positioning as “Dubai’s Premium Free Zone”. The challenge was to communicate to the global business community and international companies that ‘premium’ was a tangible benefit rather than an optional business cost.
We created a campaign that positioned the end benefit of DAFZA’s premium offering as being bigger than the sum of its parts. The benefit in one word: Freedom. When scaled up, this insight translated into a tangible and desirable business benefit: DAFZA is where business is free to perform at its best. The campaign theme ‘Feel free to be your best’ presented the benefit as an experience. And the new tagline ‘Free to grow’ summed up the pay-off that their business accrues by being at DAFZA. The campaign was launched through an integrated roll-out in 14 relevant markets/countries addressing international corporate decision makers to set up in Dubai at DAFZA.
• Clear awareness of DAFZA’s new ‘premium’ position as a business
differentiator vis-à-vis competition in the minds of investors / government entities and
other influencers

with the defined target audiences of CXOs as well as government stakeholders

in shaping Dubai’s development in the future
