MEMAC Ogilvy Welcomes the Mothership with a Dubai Lynx Hat-trick!
What better way to celebrate a new era than with a big bang?
March 12th, 2014 is indeed a historic day for every member of the MEMAC family, the agency celebrated its 30th anniversary with a hat-trick few hours following the announcement of the WPP acquisition. MEMAC dominated the Dubai Lynx stage last night, scooping the major titles, winning half of the Grand Prix awards given away and celebrating their boss, the man of the year!
MEMAC was born back in 1984 in Bahrain and grew into a network of 14 offices, employing 570 people and serving 150 clients throughout the region. It’s a remarkable story as Eddie Moutran, Dubai Lynx 2014 Advertising Person of the Year, described in his speech during the awards ceremony, Moutran thanked his staff, clients and even his competitors, he also praised Ogilvy & Mather, WPP and the governments of the GCC for opening their doors for him, and others, to do business and enjoy a better life.
Bahrain of course had a special mention in Moutran’s speech, being the birthplace of his agency, and this home for decades.
The Tunisian chapter of MEMAC Ogilvy shined last night after winning 2 Grand Prix for the Mobilizing the 12th Man campaign, but the Dubai office managed to scoop the Agency of the Year title, thanks to their Social Media Guard and the UN Women Auto Complete campaign.
All of that led to the biggest title; the Network of the Year! Congratulations to MEMAC Ogilvy for a great year, and a brand new era!
