Objective

Dubai Tourism wanted to shift perceptions of Dubai from a luxury travel destination to a serious global hub for entrepreneurship, innovation, and business growth. The objective was to engage entrepreneurial audiences in the UK with a deeper narrative around Dubai's economic ambition and long-term vision.

Campaign Execution

Next Audio partnered with Secret Leaders, one of the UK's leading podcasts for entrepreneurs and changemakers, to create a bespoke host-read branded episode.

The episode, titled "How Dubai Changed the World in 64 Years," used long-form storytelling to explore Dubai's transformation from a fishing village into one of the world's most influential business and innovation centres. By integrating the message into trusted editorial content, the campaign delivered credibility, depth, and cultural relevance.
