Company Description
Flip Media is the largest interactive agency in the Middle East. Founded as a two person team in 2003 by Martin Diessner and Dinesh Lalvani, Flip was built on their shared passion and vision to develop a new approach to digital brand communication.
While many ad agencies and IT companies in the region struggle to make sense of digital marketing and its ability to transform brands, Flip has become a veteran in the industry. We have grown from a small start up web design agency in Dubai to the Middle East’s largest interactive agency with a global network of over 100 specialists across 4 offices worldwide.
Having worked with some of the region’s most iconic brands across many industries, our success has been rooted in pushing the envelope on the way brands connect with people. By offering our clients end-to-end solutions that include award-winning creative and pioneering technology, we have become the industry leader for accountable and innovative digital marketing.
In January 2012 Flip Media became part of Publicis Groupe, working under Leo Burnett Worldwide but remains a separate entity.
