Crowd Dubai - Moving Up

Tom Berne

Managing Director (UAE)

The UAE hub of Crowd creative agency’s global network goes from strength to strength…

Barely 15 months since opening in April 2016, the Dubai office of Crowd creative agency are preparing for another leap forward, with new staff and a new office on the horizon.

With offices in London, Bournemouth, Detroit, San Francisco and Toronto – and a new studio set to open in China – global digital marketing agency; Crowd has had a meteoric rise over the last three years. Since opening the Dubai office, general manager and art director Tom Berne has overseen a similarly steep upward curve. Growing from just Tom to a team of six in little over a year, new client acquisitions and workloads continue to spike, with projections of a need for 15 staff in the very near future.

Crowd Dubai – A new creative studio space

To accommodate this growth, the agency is moving up in the world – specifically Level 3 in tower B of Empire Heights in Dubai’s Business Bay. Finding what little spare time they can, the team have been hard at work thrashing out design concepts for the new, larger studio space.

So what lies behind the explosive growth of Crowd Dubai? Living proof that success breeds success, their secret is simple – not simply creating great work, but doing so with a passion for it to be the absolute best it can possibly be.

 

Outstanding design, measurable results

Clients such as Asha’s restaurants, for whom Crowd Dubai continue to deliver profoundly effective online marketing across the GCC region, and business specialists Europe Emirates Group, for whom they have created a powerful synergy of social, web and email marketing, will testify to Crowd’s commitment to the utmost quality. Quality not only in terms of visual design, but also in terms of functional performance and measurable results. A contagious viral mix of recommendation and favourable word of mouth has fuelled not only multiple additions to the client roster, but also Tom’s global search for top flight talent to add to his growing team.

Close-knit and creative

The existing line-up of Tom himself, Ivana Tillich, Vivek Kay, Nermel Gines and Mohammed Madi have proved a formidable unit. From Vivek’s visionary design sensibilities to the engine room of Nermal and Mohammed's “make it happen” technical mastery, from Tom’s inspirational leadership and artistic direction to Ivana’s all-encompassing digital marketing and social media skillset, Crowd Dubai are the exemplar of a close-knit, creative team.

With further talented additions like Carmi Heyman joining the team and a new office just around the corner, you wouldn’t bet against them.
