Client Testimonials
“Thank you for a fabulous event, for your creativity, your patience and for being such a star… Yet again, you delivered something beyond our expectations.”
“On behalf of TAV Construction, I am pleased to express our sincere thanks to tpg Media for the continuous co-operation they extended throughout the PR activities we run on their magazines. Led by Laura Wojciechowski, The tpg Team always delivers what is promised; if not more. By advertising on tpg publications, we have significantly raised awareness throughout the Gulf thanks to their vast outreach in the region. We are confident that each time we will be receiving a tailor-made assistance hence we are absolutely willing to continue to this close relation.”
“Your work and effort is greatly appreciated. When I see the result of your work I really feel proud and push me to continue to work with you for the next edition of Dubai Solar Show.” STANCA ALINA STADLER DEWA, Dubai
KEO has worked with tpg Publishing on various publicity, including the Top 10 CEO’s awards feature. As a leading GCC trade publication, we appreciate tpg’s professional approach and process and to collaborate on industry news and initiatives which make a difference. We look forward to the launch of the Top 10 Awards as an event in February 2016 and wish tpg Publishing well with the inaugural awards celebration.
“We have chosen to work with Emirates Projects Magazine on numerous occasions, because it is a highly professional publication that conveys news both clearly and engagingly. The team has conducted several interviews with our CEO Faris Saeed, and we have always been impressed by their skilled approach, timely delivary, and high quality results. Jane Muff, Group Sales Manager at Emirates Projects Magazine, has provided us with expert assistance and is a pleasure to work with.” MOHAMMED SHABAN Cicero and Bernay, Dubai
“It is always refreshing to work with an agency who are as passionate about your brand as you are. This is what we found when working with tpg. The team has a fantastic ability to turn existing briefs into the most fabulous events, always keeping their eye on business objectives, target audience and having clever solutions to any challenges which arise.
“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you. This has been the most well organised, relaxed and happy event I have ever had the pleasure of being involved with.”
Our series of retail events were meticulously planned and executed with creativity, flair and panache. They were talked about long after they were over by all those involved. It is always a pleasure to work with tpg and we would recommend them to any company looking to engage an agency that always strives for excellence and delivers events beyond client expectations.”
“Fabulous job, talented and inspiring.” ZAID AZZAWI Bainona, United Arab Emirates
“I would like to express my pleasure in working with tpg Media. They are always very professional and execute their work with great attention to detail. We have engaged with them on a number of different events and have always been very impressed with the final result. I have no hesitation in recommending tpg Media to anyone looking for a hard working, creative and reliable event agency.”
“I have worked on numerous occasions with tpg Media on projects ranging from full blown events with 1000 guests to three day company events in Denmark and Monaco with people such as President Bill Clinton, Tina Turner and Jonathan Ross involved in the program. tpg Media took care of every little detail of each event from A to Z. All events have been professional and the team is a pure delight to work with.”
“Bordering on the brilliant!” JOHN SKULL Kier Build, UK
“It has been my absolute pleasure to know and work with the tpg Media team over the past 8 years. Having worked extensively on many of Motivate Publishing’s events, I worked very closely with tpg Media on the Emirates Woman of the Year Awards, a ceremony that honours the achievements of women in the region. Always professional, respectful and creative, tpg Media completely took the stress away from the running of the event.
“I would like to thank you for the quality of your services and the full commitment of your team. Thank you for your creativity and flexibility that made you successfully manage diverse expectations and last minute changes.”
Having lived and worked in Dubai for over 12 years, the difference between all the other event companies with tpg Media was that they are there from the event inception to post event. In the case of the Emirates Woman Awards, they were in all the initial meetings to talk themes, venues, guest lists as well as all of the production details. I would highly recommend tpg Media for any event.”
“Allow me to say that you did a GREAT JOB!” JOHANNA FRANSSEN Greefa, Netherlands
