<li><strong>McLaren’s MP4-12C filmed on location in the Middle East region at iconic Yas Marina Circuit, as well as in breathtaking desert landscape</strong></li>
<li><strong>McLaren’s first film shot in the Middle East accompanied by stunning images of the MP4-12C available at www.media.mclarenautomotive.com</strong></li>
<li><strong>Release of film highlights further growth of network in the region and importance to the brand as Abu Dhabi showroom is opened by McLaren Automotive’s CEO, Antony Sheriff.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (May 23rd 2012)</strong> McLaren Automotive has marked the opening of its Abu Dhabi showroom, the next stage in the company’s growth of its Middle East network, by launching a breathtaking video of its debut model the MP4-12C entitled “McLaren 12C finds ‘The Perfect Line’ at Yas Marina Circuit”,  which is inspired by a motor racing ethos and the Formula 1 technology at the heart of the 12C. The video, which was filmed on location in the Middle East, is now available to view and share at the company’s official YouTube channel -</p>
<p><object width="780" height="438"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XF6fHZncjYc?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="780" height="438" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XF6fHZncjYc?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>At home both on the road and on the race track, the film mixes stunning aerial footage with close-up action shots, all set within the beautiful urban and desert scenery in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The visually dynamic short film also follows the company’s high-performance, premier sports car as it takes on the famous Formula 1 track at Yas Marina Circuit.</p>
<p>The video is evidence of McLaren Automotive’s commitment to the Middle East, a region renowned for its passion for high-end sports cars and is accompanied with a range of stills taken in conjunction with the film which can be seen at http://media.mclarenautomotive.com/.</p>
<p>McLaren Automotive Regional Director, Middle East and Africa, Mark Harrison, said: “We wanted to produce this video to highlight our presence across the Middle East and reaffirm our commitment to establishing our brand in the region. The 12C is as comfortable on the road as a premium sedan, yet faster than any competitor car in its segment and this excellent video shows this fact; capturing the beauty of the desert, the emotion of the urban environment and the drama of a world famous Formula 1 circuit – three locations where the 12C is supremely confident.”</p>

<p>The award winning MP4-12C, the first ‘pure’ McLaren production road car, draws upon the company’s longstanding Formula 1 experience and features a number of unique new technological highlights that make it the world’s fastest and also one of the most efficient high performance sports cars; a one-piece, moulded carbon chassis, a compact, lightweight and highly efficient 592bhp V8 twin turbo engine, and the innovative ‘Proactive Chassis Control’ suspension system that ensures ultimate track performance or great comfort on the road at the turn of a switch.</p>
<p>All of which means that the MP4-12C can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds on Corsa tyres, making it the quickest car in its segment. The 0-200 km/h figure is an equally breathtaking 8.9 seconds.</p>

<p>The Middle East is a major market for McLaren Automotive, with six of its 35 dealerships worldwide set to be located in the region. In addition to showrooms now open in Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE (Al Habtoor Motors), and has also opened showrooms in Kuwait (Ali Alghanim &amp; Sons Automotive). McLaren is set to launch further showrooms in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and Manama, Bahrain (both Al Ghassan Motors) and Doha, Qatar (Al Wajba Establishment). There is also a service centre in Lebanon (Saad &amp; Trad Sal).</p>
<p>McLaren Automotive is an independent company, chaired by Ron Dennis, and based at the McLaren Technology Centre, the McLaren Group’s headquarters in Surrey. McLaren Automotive has a rich and seamless heritage in producing premium sports cars for the road: the McLaren F1 road car, which was launched in 1992, set the world land speed record for a production car, and is regarded as one of the best examples of supercar exotica. The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is the most successful supercar ever in its price bracket, having sold twice as many cars as its nearest carbon-based rival.</p>
<p>McLaren Automotive is now launching a new car company through a global network of highly regarded premium car retailers who will sell a full range of McLaren high-performance sports cars built at an advanced new manufacturing facility, the McLaren Production Centre.<br />
McLaren Automotive’s debut model is the MP4-12C. Drawing on the company’s long-standing Formula 1 experience in its concept and development, the 12C will be lighter, more powerful, more fuel efficient and more exclusive than its key competition.  The 12C will be followed by a range of new McLaren models and derivatives all will be high performance, yet highly efficient and make the best use of Formula 1 technology and know-how.</p>
<p>It will achieve its performance benchmarks by introducing a unique one-piece moulded carbon chassis into the ‘core’ sports car segment using a new production method. All McLarens will be based on this innovative carbon technology; McLaren has not built a racing or road car on anything other than a carbon chassis in 30 years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>LG Takes Aim at Audio Visual Market by Integrating 3D Sound and Smart TV Technologies into HTS</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dubai, May 24th, 2012</strong>–LG Electronics is launching four new home theater systems in the UAE equipped with LG’s latest 3D sound technology and following their successful debut at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES). By combining its 3D Home Theater Systems with the company’s popular CINEMA 3D Smart TVs, LG aims to solidify its position as the leader in 3D home entertainment.</p>
<p>“Whether it’s TVs or audio systems, LG continues to offer the most immersive 3D home entertainment experience possible,” said Mr D.Y. Kim, President of LG Electronics Gulf FZE. “Our CINEMA 3D Smart TVs will now be accompanied by a wider variety of CINEMA 3D SOUND HOME THEATER products that offer consumers a complete 3D experience and further strengthen LG’s leadership in 3D.”</p>
<p>The BH9520TW incorporates LG’s very own 3D Sound Zooming technology, which constantly synchronizes sound output with the location and movement of the on-screen 3D images on a CINEMA 3D Smart TV. In turn, 3D Sound Zooming plunges the viewer into the middle of the action, as the events that unfold on their 3D TVs immerse and surround the viewers as both images and sound in real 3D. 3D Sound Zooming is capable of generating variety of depth in sound based on a complex algorithm that analyzes the varying depth of numerous on-screen objects displayed on the 3D TV. </p>
<p>Such immersive 3D sound quality is enhanced further by the BH9520TW’s 9.1 speaker system, which adds four Upright 3D Speakers to the 5.1 channels of a conventional home theater system. The four Upright 3D Speakers pump sound upward, ensuring that the vertical space is completely filled with sound. Meanwhile, a 360º Reflector inside each of the Upright 3D Speakers reflects sound in all directions, creating acoustics as rich as those in a concert hall.</p>
<p>Moreover, by applying LG’s unique 3D effect DSP algorithm, the Sound Field Expansion technology further expands the horizontal sound field, and works in harmony with the Upright 3D Speakers to create a truly immersive 360º sound experience. Additionally, the audio “sweet spot” is further extended so viewers always feel as if they are right in the middle of the action, regardless of their location in a living room.</p>
<p>In order to provide viewers with a wide range of 3D experiences, the BH9520TW is equipped with a Smart TV function. In turn, any ordinary 3D TV can have access to LG’s Smart TV ecosystem, which is composed of a growing variety and quantity of 3D content through various premium content services and apps, such as LG’s 3D Zone.</p>
<div id="attachment_45908" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 790px"><img src="http://jazarah.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/LGHometheater.jpg" alt="" title="LG&#039;s New Home Theater Systems to Disrupt Home Entertainment Like Never Before" width="780" height="654" class="size-full wp-image-45908" /><p class="wp-caption-text">LG&#039;s New Home Theater Systems</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following the successful revitalisation program of Rani brand in 2010, ILUO – design entity – is now signing another prestigious branding program for a key brand owned by AUJAN : BARBICAN.</p>
<p>Considered as one of the most renowned brand in flavoured malt drinks across the region, it has proved enormously successful with younger generation embracing changes in trends, imagery and consumption habits. </p>
<p>ILUO is a French design company based in the UAE working with well known brands in the Middle East : « The UAE is a birthplace of Arabic branding, witnessing consumer branding in the making and touching about 8,62 millions of consumers everyday like mirrors in which they see them self, reflecting their taste, their life-style and their unique culture. This phenomenon is relatively new and very exiting for ILUO to take part in the creation of a unique Arabic visual language. We believe that globalisation does not necessary mean standardisation, especially for FMCG products which are vehicles that unite and reveal the personality of the consumers. ILUO is internationally minded and MENA is its focus. Our ‘design entity’ business model is relevant for our clients needs because it is flexible and puts together the right team at the right moment with the maximum added value. » says Chris BRUN the CEO of ILUO.<br />
 <br />
The design exercise required a true brand relaunch, addressing both physical and visual aspects of the brand, with affordable premiumness as the overall proposition. Every element of the product dressing has been carefully considered, challenged and addressed in terms of design. The material used had been changed, the colors optimised, the printing technique fine-tuned to create a unique and relevant brand proposition. With 99% of the population being under 64 years old, the branding industry has become a key element to stand out ones brand. This has been achieved through ILUO’s design coordination, branding experience and concern for production technics.<br />
 <br />
<strong>About the contract with Aujan :</strong><br />
In a highly competitive environment Barbican was loosing appeal and gradually risking to endorse a bland generic image.<br />
ILUO drew a stylish bottle, more stable, with slender neck and muscular shoulders, enhanced by in-hand embellishment of raised glass featuring the word PREMIUM crowned by the Aujan crest.</p>
<p>The choice of clear label (PSL –pressure sensitive label-) is qualitative and dictated by the will to let the unique metallic blue BARBICAN word mark stand-out as a silk-screened sign, underlined by shiny silver and supported by the lion symbol, etched on glass.</p>
<p>The result is a brand identity with a distinctive personality, delivering pride and assertiveness, brand values that talk to the growing youth market. Aujan’s brands are present in over 70 countries around the world, with the recent US$1 billion partnership agreement with the Coca-Cola Company, Aujan is now poised for accelerated growth across the Middle East and internationally.<br />
 <br />

<p><strong>about ILUO:</strong><br />
Born in Paris, ILUO is an independent design entity, dedicated to the region, producing the best in branding and nurturing the rise of Arabic identity through leading brands.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>30 Countries Represented &#038; 226 Registered Companies</strong></p>
<p><strong>- Paris, Palais Brongniart, June 18-19 2012 -</strong> PARIS, May 23rd, 2012 &#8211; One month before the opening of UbiQ Paris – the Digital Entertainment Showcase (conference &#038; exhibition) – Gwenael Flatres, Founder of UbiQ EVENTS, announced 226 registered companies (to date), 30 represented countries (to date), 10 conference tracks and more than 70 high-level international speakers.</p>
<p>The conference program for both the showcases and the masterclasses are now available online: http://ubiq-europe.com/contact/program/</p>
<p>UbiQ facilitates sharing experience between the entertainment industries (TV, Music, Games, and Brand Content) by applying a strict format in which each speaker must present a case study addressing specific angles during the alloted time : 20 minute presentations for keynotes, 10 minutes for showcase speakers and 15 minutes for masterclasses. The originality of the event lies in the presentation format.</p>
<p>63 previously announced speakers at UbiQ Paris include Randi Zuckerberg, former Marketing Director of Facebook and current CEO of RtoZ Media; Doug Scott, President of Ogilvy Entertainment; Louis-Pierre Pharand, Director of Transmedia at Ubisoft Canada; Philip Bourchier O&#8217;Ferrall, SVP Digital Media of Viacom International Media Networks; Gwen Bethel Riley, Head of Music Business Affairs at Disney Mobile; Eric Klinker, CEO of BitTorrent and Allen De Bevoise, CEO of Machinima. </p>
<p>The newest addition to the showcase is a session including Denis Ladegaillerie, Founder and President of Believe Digital, and Christophe Muller, Director of Partnerships for YouTube Google SEEMEA Region, as well as artists that were discovered on YouTube. </p>
<p>« With more than 72 hours of video uploaded every minute and more than 4 billion videos viewed daily, YouTube is the essential platform for dissemination and promotion of artists, content creators and advertisers of all sizes. We are pleased to participate in the first edition of UbiQ to share feedback from our partners such as the great success story that is now Believe Digital. » says Christophe Muller of YouTube.</p>
<p>Participants from 30 countries originate from France, UK, USA, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Russia, Poland, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Israel, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia and many more.</p>
<p>The most recent prestigious sponsors and partners include Zodiak Active (Italy), La Fonderie &#8211; the digital agency of Region Ile de France (France),  Conviva (USA), Ooyala (USA) the technology partner, Spacejunk (US) a live action, motion design and animation studio based in Columbus, Ohio and Los Angeles, California and Region Ile de France as well as previously announced sponsors including INA and Horyzon Media, the media sales house of the Pages Jaunes Group.</p>
<p>Gwenael Flatres, Founder and CEO of UbiQ Events, stated, « The music industry has suffered greatly over the past decade due to the deployment of the internet and piracy but has finally found new economic models. Television is about to undergo a detrimental shock with the arrival of connected TV, tablets and VOD. The video game industry is facing new challenges with digital distribution but is discovering new opportunities for growth through social networks as well as producers and distributors of TV content, music, books and magazines. Artists have become full-fledged media through their communities with millions of fans. Audiences are fragmenting and advertisers have to follow their audiences. Therefore media and advertising must reinvent their function around the notion of engagement and complementary channels in the digital sphere. UbiQ is here to accompany this movement. »</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>May, 2012</strong> &#8211; Dubai-based Lulua Publishing has launched Good Health Arabia, an Arabic language sister title to the health and wellbeing lifestyle title published by ACP Magazines in Australia.</p>
<p>Under license from ACP Magazines, Good Health Arabia aims to fulfill a need in the region for informative, up-to-date, entertaining and relevant information and opinions that empower women in their focus for a healthy and fruitful lifestyle. The only one of its kind in the region, the publication addresses everyday challenges a woman faces, providing tips and solutions to meet them head on with content rich information to promote a better living and wellbeing. Good Health Arabia will build on Good Health Australia’s extensive expertise and library in providing quality editorial content, including sections covering health, fitness, nutrition and diet, as well as comprehensive analysis by some of the best doctors and specialized writers in the world.</p>
<p>Commenting on the already well-received launch witnessed across the Middle East, Lulua Publishing Founder and Publisher Sheikha Intisar Al-Sabah said: “The region is lacking in reliable Arabic resources in the field of health and wellbeing, and the topical, informative and entertaining delivery Good Health Arabia provides serves our audience on many levels.</p>
<p>“Our objective at Lulua Publishing is to provide our readers with solid yet entertaining information, and the inspiration to use that knowledge to improve their lives. As a result of this, and the absence of a dedicated Arabic-language publication, we have already seen tremendous response to this very credible title appearing on shelves in the Middle East.”</p>
<p>Featuring Nancy Ajram on the cover of the May edition, as well as an interview with the Lebanese celebrity focusing on her personal techniques to live a healthy life, the May print run was introduced to the Kuwait market at an exclusive event where readers were able to meet with the star and receive signed copies of Good Health Arabia. In an energetic, vibrant atmosphere, the event immersed the attendees in the character and persona of the publication, imparting them with the knowledge to lead an empowered, spirited and wholesome lifestyle.</p>
<p>Available in the UAE, KSA, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan, the print edition of Good Health Arabia is to be followed by an Arabic language Good Health website, enabling women in the Middle East to access the publication’s rich information on a digital platform.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are the region’s marketing professionals falling short of women’s expectations?</p>
<p><strong>Dubai, UAE, May 2012:</strong>  From Tahrir Square to Times Square, the aspirations of women are radically changing, and nowhere is this more evident than in the Middle East. </p>
<p>Wider educational, workplace and political opportunities, along with increasing personal wealth, are reshaping their expectations for their communities, their families and, most of all, for themselves.</p>
<p>According to Al Masah Capital Limited there are 3.3 million women in the workforce today, an 83 per cent increase since 2000.<br />
Women’s financial status is rapidly changing too. </p>
<p>Boston Consulting Group estimates that wealth held by women in the MENA region stands at $500 billion; MEED estimates wealth held by women in the Gulf is $385 billion, while Almasa Capital estimates that Saudi women alone control $12billion of personal cash assets.<br />
Have advertisers kept up with these changes or have they fallen behind the times in how they communicate with the region’s female consumers?</p>
<p>This is one of the key issues being addressed at the forthcoming annual GMR Marketing to Women Conference in Dubai – Marketing Women in the Era of Change.</p>
<p>Now in its sixth year, the conference examines how the changing roles of women in the region is, in turn, changing the way in which they relate to brands, advertising, retail and media. </p>
<p>“To be blunt, it’s time for all marketing professionals in the MENA region to rip up the old marketing rules book and take a fresh look at how they relate to female consumers who are, afterall, among their most influential and affluent customers,” says Alexandre Hawari, Co-CEO of Mediaquest, and publisher of Gulf Marketing Review. </p>
<p>“Understanding these changes and how they impact the practical and emotional needs of women is essential to effective, sustainable marketing communications,” he adds.</p>
<p>The one-day Marketing to Women conference begins by highlighting emerging global trends among women’s brand attitudes and behavior, delivered by international keynote expert speaker, US-based CEO, Euro RSCG Worldwide PR North America, trendspotter and author, Marian Salzman.  </p>
<p>She is joined by Christina Ioannidis, an international speaker, consultant, author of Your Loss: How to Win Back your Female Talent, and chief engagement officer of Aquitude, a leading organizational, people and market development consultancy in the UK.</p>
<p>Also participating in the event are a series of top regional spokespeople from Unilever, Fonterra, TNS, TBWA\RAAD, Philips Healthcare, Johnson &#038; Johnson and Yahoo! Maktoob, offering companies and industries insights in targeting and positioning their brands precisely by understanding female consumers’ relationship with their choice of brands.</p>

<p>Topics include: exclusive research; marketing to moms, social media, Saudi women’s changing lives; changing lives through sustainability, women and social media. Demonstrating the huge importance of the subject matter, many leading brands have pledged their support, including Yahoo! Maktoob, Cadillac, Al Aan TV, Creative Edge, Zee, Haya and dotmena.</p>
<p>The event, which is organized by Mediaquest Corp, and takes place on May 28, 2012, at The Westin Mina Seyahi, Dubai is moderated by Carol Talbot, one of the UAE’s most sought after motivational speakers.</p>
