Bloomberg Media Group announced the launch of “Bloomberg Media Studios” in the UAE. The media group is expanding its international presence to the Middle East and Africa with the creation of its first creative hub in Dubai. The studio is the brand content division and will be serving the clients in the region to reach Bloomberg’s influential audience through strategic brand storytelling. It collaborates with companies around the world in technology, tourism, finance, luxury, and more.
The newly formed studio will work closely with the Bloomberg Media commercial team in Dubai to develop integrated partnership opportunities and data-driven creative content. By doing so, they can scale production to meet the demand for personalized, purposeful, data-driven storytelling content. It is also part of Bloomberg’s ongoing media expansion in the region, which includes added localized platforms, content, and regional talent. Globally, studios revenue grew 50% Y-o-Y from 2020 to 2021. This comes after the studio doubled its client list in the Middle East and Africa region over the same period.
