The Company

BPG has been in the ‘business of change’ since 1980. We’ve changed the way our clients’ brands are perceived by their audiences. We’ve enhanced reputations, amplified client media exposure and guided brands to invigorated positions in a market constantly in flux. BPG is a WPP company (minority shareholding).

From our regional hubs in Dubai and Kuwait, our multinational team is committed to one goal: making our clients around the world more relevant, engaged and successful than ever. We were the agency to launch the cluster-based knowledge economy in Dubai with Dubai Internet City, catalyst Dubai into a global retail magnet by conceptualizing & launching the Dubai Shopping Festival and Dubai Summer Surprises, as well as drive the UAE’s digital transformation of the banking sector with Emirates NBD. Today, we continue to demonstrate the same values across clients that include HMD Nokia, Al Shaya Group, Sony & National Bank of Kuwait amongst others.

From our strategic consultants and media experts, to creative thinkers and PR advisors, BPG boasts a solid base of seasoned professionals who are at home with the unconventional. After all, we are entering a new-normal; a time where agility and redefining how we and our clients do business is the norm.
