UAE Branding Agency for your Food Business


You will definitely need help from a UAE branding agency like Driving Growth when brand building your food business. It is a challenge to succeed in the food industry. With McDonalds, Subway and other food company giants around, you can get intimidated easily and even opt out sooner than you think. You can do it on your own, of course, especially if you have the mindset and determination for it. But working with an expert branding team will help you get started with solid foundation and assist you towards achieving your goal steadily.

The Food Industry

The food industry all over the world is a fiercely competitive one. A single product alone can have thousands of brands competing for top sales in the UAE. And with this competition, you need all the help you can get.

Your love for food will not be enough for you to survive in the food business industry. People agree that this is one of the hardest industries to get into. Planning your food business is the most important thing. A detailed business plan will get you started steadily. And once you have built your foundation, implementation comes a little bit easier. You just need to be flexible and adapt to whatever change you may need to take. And remember, the Driving Growth group can do this easily for you.

Brand Building for Food

When starting with the food business, you have to take into consideration every media you can use to get your brand recognized. Here are some of the tips you should consider in brand building for food.

·         Your brand identity must be “delicious” to the public. Your brand name, logo, colors, styles and packaging must adhere to what your market considers appealing.

·         In UAE advertising, digital marketing and in traditional ones, images matter. Quality images of food cause hunger and make people crave your product. Having good pictures will make people want to go and eat at your place or buy your products at once for immediate consumption. Make use of it effectively in every aspect of your brand building.

·         Live events including food attract people effectively. Make sure your UAE event management does not forget about this. A successful live event will be a key factor in your brand’s success. Your audience will be sure to remember your brand because of the experience and may even talk to others about it.

Remember that although you can survive food branding on your own, you will still need help in order for your business to last. And that’s what Driving Growth is for.

Tips for Successful Qatar Mobile App Branding


It is widely acknowledged by makers of UAE mobile apps and other mobile app marketers all around the world that it's not enough that they create apps for their users. More importantly, they need to sell their apps for their campaign to be successful. But this is easier said than done. How can a marketer like you succeed in your mobile app branding campaign?

First of all, you need to understand that you can't rush into making a mobile app for one or several platforms. In terms of marketing, this isn't the way to go. Take note also that there's no single platform that can be suitable for all mobile app brands.

If your market is in Qatar, for instance, there are three types of mobile app brands you can turn your Qatar mobile app into. These are:

a.     Mobile web apps that are designed to make browsing easier and more fun for users. An excellent example of this is Google Maps.

b.    Apps that offer users a unique experience in using mobile apps, such as Foursquare and Shazam.

c.     The more traditional app brands that give users instant access to products or services.

Regardless of the type of mobile app brand you want to achieve, what's important is that your Dubai mobile app focuses on your consumers. It has to capture a user's attention, stay consistent with the expectations of the users, and of course, deliver a quality user experience, too.

Below are some tips on how your mobile app branding can be successful:

1. Always remember that your app should be about your consumers. Yes, you need to make your mobile app fun to use and more unique than other apps, but make sure that it still offers value to your customers.

2. Do some deep analysis of your users' motives for using your app, and what their exact needs are. Having this information will help you come up with an appropriate and successful marketing and branding plan.

3. Test your UAE mobile apps thoroughly first before you submit them to an app store. You don't want your app to freeze or crash from time to time as this will definitely affect your brand image in a very bad way.

4. Make sure your mobile app is easily referable. You want your users to invite other people to use your app so it could get higher ratings. Of course, the higher your positive rating, the more popular your app will become.

You shouldn't be wasting your time thinking about how to launch a successful Dubai mobile app. We at Driving Growth can do it for you!

UAE PR in Branding


Going hand in hand, UAE PR and branding will definitely result in customer loyalty and increased sales. Let’s take Nintendo’s Wii U, for example. Through their clever public relations campaign on men and women over 25, they sold almost 100 million consoles worldwide on 2007. How did they do that? What is public relations all about? And what is its role in branding?

Public relations in Branding

Public relations in branding is communicating a brand’s credibility to key audiences who can somehow make a difference in business. Simply put, it is telling the brand’s story to those who matter. These people who can affect business results, sales for one, can be customers, media analysts, public persons and influencers, and shareholders. PR consists of promotional activities such as Dubai live events, in order to connect with the public and make a strong and lasting image.

It is often referred to as earned media, while paid media are the advertising campaigns. This is understandable since ads cost money and PR is earned through making relationships and telling stories, thus, gaining coverage.

PR, however, is not all good. If you can earn coverage for the good stuff, you also get it if something bad happens. And a good PR team, one like the Driving Growth group, should know how to handle these matters and still put your brand in a positive light.

What is the Goal of Public Relations?

Public relations is not always a complicated matter. The skills needed in PR can be learned and practiced on. That’s why many brands handle their own PR. Public relations, however, requires precision. You always have to know what to say at the right time and at the right place. And these companies handling their own PR soon ask why their campaigns don’t go as well as they should. And regret not getting a professional PR team.

·         Bear in mind that public relations’ important goal is to “control”. Control the conversation and flow of information about your brand.

·         The most promotion should get to the right people. It matters where your press releases go. Know your target persons, research on them if you must.

·         Get people to recognize your brand. Don’t beat around the bush when campaigning. Be clear and precise and get your message understood.

·         Think of your net gain. Let your PR team acquire new customers and increase sales. Get people excited and be the talk of the town.

These are simple goals aimed at getting information out to your target market.  Don’t over think PR. Send out good information and get the public interested. Your UAE branding agency will make sure you do this right. Just check out Driving Growth.
