The Dubai market
Dubai is an international, multilingual and highly competitive market. We position your brand correctly on this global stage and produce creative identity, web and content that speak to English and Arabic audiences.
Short answer:Dubai and the wider United Arab Emirates are among the most actively worked markets for brands exporting goods or services from Turkey. Marka Studio serves this market from its studio in İzmit, Kocaeli — we have no office in Dubai and we do not claim one. Arabic localisation is produced with native Arabic translators, while strategy, design and digital production are done by our own team. What differs about Gulf brand communication is this: relationship, status signals and perceived visual quality carry a different weight than in Turkey, communication usually runs bilingually in Arabic and English, and because Arabic is a right-to-left script the design has to be built for that direction from the start. Translating Turkish-first communication rarely works here; we rebuild the message around the order in which the buyer decides.

What do people ask most?
Do you have an office in Dubai?
No. Our studio is in İzmit, Kocaeli, Turkey, and we serve the Dubai and wider UAE market from there. Arabic localisation is produced with native Arabic translators, while strategy, design and digital production are done by our own team.
Why does Gulf brand communication need a different build?
In the Gulf, relationship, status signals and perceived visual quality carry different weight than in Turkey. Communication usually has to run bilingually in Arabic and English, and because Arabic is a right-to-left script the design has to be built for that direction from the start. Translating Turkish-first communication rarely works here.
