The National ⎯ Establishing Presence
Launching The National in London
Tech & Digital services
Brief
The National approached us at a pivotal expansion moment: opening their first London bureau in 2017 to serve Arab audiences and international readers seeking authoritative Middle East coverage. In a city saturated with global news brands, we needed to establish immediate visibility and credibility among London's Arab community and affluent international professionals.

Strategy
Our strategy combined physical dominance with precision digital targeting. We deployed high-impact digital outdoor panels across Central London's busiest transport hubs, creating unavoidable brand presence at the heart of the city's daily flow. Simultaneously, we activated geo-targeted mobile advertising focused on Knightsbridge and Kensington, areas with concentrated Arab populations and the international decision-makers The National serves.
The dual-layer approach ensured The National wasn't just seen broadly, but reached specifically, appearing in the hands of affluent commuters through their mobile devices exactly where they lived, worked, and traveled.
Results
The result was a launch campaign that established The National's London presence with both scale and surgical precision, positioning the brand as essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the Middle East from Europe's most influential city.
