"The PR for your company is your most valuable asset, It drives your lead generation and sales. When I unveiled plans to open my beach club in the United Arab Emirates I was discounted, pushed aside and laughed at by the PR departments of the glittering 5* establishments of central Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
When I announced that I was building my club from scratch - ground level up, in a destination which nobody had even heard of, a location in a non built up area on the border of Dubai - Abu Dhabi; I was ridiculed .
When I accomplished my goal and opened my club which rapidly became belevedere vodka's biggest account holder and captivated an audience of international Jet- set , Billionaires and Royalty; The empty venues in dubai on a friday afternoon weren't laughing so loud. I took a gamble, I exposed the weakness within the regimented 5* resorts - a lack of freedom and I exploited this freedom within my own club; I also exploited the fact that my chosen location was the first and only venue where clients could access direct via - land , sea or air.

It wasn't easy for me, when you have made a laughing-stock of top tier companies , their marketing departments and local event planners (who had been established in the industry for years), you don't make friends you generate enemies, couple that with the fact that you're in your early twenties and female operating in an arab country where you have just cost the entertainment sector millions of dirhams in lost revenue and sponsorship deals - you rapidly grow a thick skin.
I remember I rarely paid for advertisement for my club the PR buzz generated by the elite clientele, yachts , helicopters . royals was a feeding - frenzy which my competitors s could never attain. As with all good business your most important factor is your exit strategy. I'd achieved my goal and created my club after years of battling with competitors I had no drive left to continue in the nightlife sector. I had bigger goals, I wanted to apply all that I'd learned into a formal capacity. To date I handle PR for HNWI and royalty relating to their public and private persona. My TFC business foundation is 'Trading in ideas' people don't hire me because I wear a suit or attend a board meeting , they hire me because I'm ruthless and I'm the best. I've made a million first hand mistakes; consequently I know how to avoid them". RB Continue >>
