Our relationship with Active began at the GITEX 2017 event. We started working with them only a short time before what is our most important
industry event of the year. Within minutes of the first day working with Active DMC, they had already lined up interviews to take place at the event.
Having only a small amount of preparation time before a big event and with other clients to look after, many agencies would have used excuses
not to aim for ambitious results, but Active met the challenge head on with a can-do and professional attitude. It was brilliant how much they kept
us updated throughout the show with each of the confirmed interviews and meetings. We ended up securing some great coverage in top-tier daily
newspapers and trade publications. It’s great to go from being in such a difficult position to coming out strong in the end.
Over the year, Active DMC kept the momentum going strongly, quickly winning over the admiration and trust of the local sales and marketing
team. At GITEX 2018, we were able to push everything one step further than the previous year and did even better. Thank you to the Active team
for consistently delivering for us.

Forcepoint has been working with Active DMC since 2017, as they have supported our public relations,
social media and events across
UAE and latterly the KSA. They have a strong understanding of our
industry, and excellent media relationships. They consistently deliver
strong media results, and in

for our senior, international executives.

One of the best parts of working with Active is the feeling that they are part of the extended team. Being
based in the UK it can be
tricky to know what’s going on on the ground, but Active have always worked
closely, effectively and professionally with our team of
sales and marketing people based in Dubai. The
levels of trust between Active and all our media spokespeople are high, and the team
spend time
developing these relationships.
When our CEO Matt Moynahan came to the Middle East on tour, Active stepped up to become part of
the integrated team, working with
sales, marketing and channel execs to ensure the communications
and PR part of our tour ran smoothly. They generated excellent media
interviews and also landed byline
opportunities in key titles.
Staff turnover is low, and the team we have do understand what we need, as well as provide us with
honest advice on how we can
achieve our business goals. I’d have no hesitation recommending them as a
PR and communications partner in the Middle East.
