We partner with Dubai Media, the Investment Corporation of Dubai, and Dubai Media Academy to support and shape their flagship platforms — contributing the strategy, advisory, consulting, and content that make them thrive. Few firms can do this.
A Dubai Media platform
Dubai Media’s platform for dialogue about professional advancement, future trends, and innovation. G&K provides its strategy, content direction, and speaker programming.
It has hosted events on the future of marketing, AI, ESG, and consumer behaviour — bringing together C-level executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals in curated sessions led by expert speakers. Future Majlis is not a G&K platform — it is Dubai Media’s. Our role is the strategy and content behind it.
What G&K provides
Platform conception & launch, content curation, and speaker programming for Dubai Media.
For the Investment Corporation of Dubai
The thought leadership platform of ICD — one of the emirate’s most significant sovereign entities. G&K is the architect of the intellectual programme behind it.
For ICD, we shape the content strategy, source and curate the speakers, and manage the thought leadership briefings that convene its group subsidiaries and the wider technology ecosystem around AI, cybersecurity, and digital transformation. Our role is not as a panellist — it is as the partner that designs and runs the programme.
What G&K provides
Content strategy, speaker sourcing & curation, and thought leadership briefing management for ICD.
Strategy & AI partner since inception
We have served as the main strategy and AI consultant to Dubai Media Academy since its inception — advising on thought leadership strategy and content, and helping shape its positioning as a research, training, and thought leadership centre for the future of Arab media.
In 2025, during Dubai AI Week, this relationship produced the iع (“AI in Arab Media”) initiative — jointly launched as a strategic national initiative with regional benefit, combining AI adoption with cultural identity preservation. Our role goes beyond consulting. It is co-creation.
What G&K provides
Thought leadership strategy, content direction, and AI advisory — plus co-launching the iع initiative.
When we work with clients, we see it as them outsourcing their business to us — and us in-sourcing our company to them.Asem GalalManaging Partner, G&K
