Independent creative media professionals had the opportunity to showcase their skills and work, to companies operating in TECOM Investments' Media Cluster, when Dubai Media City hosted the inaugural 'Explore Creativity', the latest in a series of themed networking events bringing together members of the Media Cluster community.
More than 25 freelancers, and over 40 business partners, took part in the event. It was organised as part of the Media Cluster's efforts to add value to the services it provides to its business partners.
Jamal Al Sharif, Managing Director of Dubai Media City and Dubai Studio City, both members of TECOM Investments' Media Cluster said: "Explore Creativity was an ideal opportunity for freelancers to showcase their capabilities to potential clients in an informal and relaxed environment. The event allowed our business partners to source services without the need to search for them outside the Media Cluster, saving them time and money."
Both business partners and freelancers hailed Explore Creativity as a success. "It is fantastic to have a group of creatives come together in events like this to network, share ideas, insights and make connections. This is what the Media Cluster is all about," said Mohamed Somji, Director Gulf Photo Plus.
TECOM Investments' Media Cluster has under its umbrella Dubai Media City, Dubai Studio City, and the International Media Production Zone. The cluster was created to leverage the core strengths of each entity for the benefit of the entire cluster by creating synergies and efficiencies.
