The event took place at the citys Capital Club in DIFC and attracted an audience of senior marketeers from across the region.

A panel discussion and Q&A featuring Emma Beckmann, President CEEMEA at Landor; Rami Zahran, CMO, Saudi German Hospital; Ross McAuley, Acting CMO, Al Tayyar Travel Group; and Dan Taylor, VP Brand and Marketing, RAK Tourism explored various topics including the importance of brand names and potential conflicts with competitors, brand rejuvenation, objectivity over subjectivity as well as the paramount importance of thorough consideration of the consumer in any strategic brand decision.
Commenting on the topic, Mariagrazia De Angelis, General Manager at Landor, in Dubai said: What we are witnessing is that clients want a lot more certainty when they decide to invest money in any aspect of their brand. Ultimately, we have seen through our research that brands can be responsible for up to 30 per cent of a business value, which means you need to consider your brand portfolio very closely and make sure that youre doing regular valuations of their overall health, performance and financial impact.
