Archer Media delivers immersive road branding for BAYN launch
ORA Development recently launched BAYN, a new luxury residential destination located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi in Ghantout, UAE. To support the launch, the developer partnered with Dubai-based Archer Media to create a full-scale outdoor branding activation designed to guide and welcome guests to the site. The project involved branding a 3.5-kilometre stretch of road leading to the development. Archer Media, known for its outdoor advertising work across the GCC, was responsible for the creative direction, design, permitting, production, and installation of the route's visual branding. The objective was to create a cohesive and high-impact arrival experience that aligned with BAYN's premium positioning. The activation was designed to function both as directional signage and a visual prelude to the brand, featuring clean design cues and subtle messaging to support the tone of the launch. 'This was more than signage – it was a statement. A build-up of emotion, clarity of direction, and a seamless connection between vision and execution,' said Andre Zovighian, Founder & Managing Director of Archer Media. ORA Development described the execution as aligned with the broader vision for the launch, with the branding contributing to the overall sense of occasion. 'Archer Media helped us turn the road to BAYN into part of the brand journey — a well-executed experience that reflected our goals for the project,' the company shared. The activation is an example of how out-of-home media continues to evolve, moving beyond visibility to support brand storytelling, particularly in sectors such as luxury real estate where first impressions carry significant weight.

UAE: Sheikh Mohammed announces 1 billion meals distributed to 65 countries in 3 years
UAE Vice President Sheikh Mohammed had launched the 'One Billion Meals' campaign three years ago with an aim to secure food aid for vulnerable communities in 50 countries. On Friday, July 4, the Ruler of Dubai announced the successful completion of the campaign, with one billion means distributed across 65 countries. And that is not all. The Prime Minister of UAE said that an additional 260 million meals will be distributed in the coming year. "We have also established sustainable real estate endowments to ensure the continuity of providing food to those in need around the world in the coming years," he wrote in a post on X in Arabic. أطÙ�Ù�Ù�ا Ù�بÙ� Ù£ أعÙ�اÙ� Ù�شرÙ�عÙ�ا اÙ�Ø¥Ù�ساÙ�Ù� Ù�Ø°Ù�Ù�Ù�ر Ù�Ù�Ù�ار Ù�جبة Ù�Ù�Ù�ØذاجÙ�Ù� ØÙ�Ù� اÙ�عاÙ�Ù� â�¦ Ù�بØÙ�داÙ�Ù�Ù� Ø°Ù� Ø®Ù�اÙ� اÙ�Ø´Ù�ر اÙ�جارÙ� Ø¥Ù�جاز اÙ�Ù�شرÙ�ع باÙ�Ù�اÙ�Ù� ..

In 2022, the campaign provided much needed aid to displaced individuals and families, and crisis-stricken communities in 13 countries, including Jordan, India, Pakistan, Lebanon, Kyrgyzstan, Angola and Uganda. Through an integrated food supply ecosystem, the One Billion Meals campaign aims to provide sustainable food aid to underserved populations, as part of the UAE's contributions to global efforts. The One Billion Meals campaign responds to the global need of providing consistent humanitarian assistance to underserved communities all over the world, supporting efforts to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 2 that aims to end hunger by 2030.
