How we work

Our Business Process

Planning excellence

We use a simple but comprehensive four-step methodology to create the best possible communications strategy and plan every time:

Contact us
Define

In this initial phase, we research the big picture to analyse how geopolitics, the macroeconomy and societal and sectoral issues affect your business.

Develop

From our analysis, we formulate a strategic position, which we stress test with our clients and stakeholders.

Deliver

Once the strategy is agreed, we move to implementation planning. We produce detailed plans for activation and measurement.

Deconstruct

We evaluate our success, considering what could have been done even better. We then feed our conclusions back into a new planning cycle, creating continuous improvement.

Inspired by the desert

DUNE - What is in a Name?

Our name - DUNE Communications - is inspired by the beauty and majesty of the Middle East’s golden sand dunes, an emblem of the region’s culture and character. Dunes stretch wide and stand tall as natural symbols of power, resilience and continuous development.

Our value proposition draws on these qualities, seeking to deliver communication strategies and activations that sustain our clients' business success over the long term, however the sands shift.
