Brand Lessons from Dubai: Evolving with Purpose and Power
This is a clear message to brands: if your creative is still playing it safe, or feels like a copy-paste job, you're already behind. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur Middle East, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Not long ago, much of Dubai's creative scene felt like it was borrowed from elsewhere. Many campaigns were adaptations of global ideas, not built specifically for the region. But that's shifting. Dubai's voice is evolving, from adaptation to originality, from safe to unapologetic. What's driving this shift? Ambition. The ambition to become a creative powerhouse, to attract top talent, and to build world-class brands from the region outwards. And the UAE government is setting the tone. Just look at their Cannes takeover this year: a bold, logo-less campaign that declared, "The Emirates are open for ideas as long as those ideas are impossible." This is a clear message to brands: if your creative is still playing it safe, or feels like a copy-paste job, you're already behind. IDEAS BASED ON LOCAL INSIGHT Brands in the Middle East are beginning to shred the "global-but-generic" creative template we see over and over again. For too long, campaigns created in the region have played it safe, polished, predictable, and built from formulas that worked elsewhere. But that's changing. The market is maturing. Clients are no longer asking, "What did London, Amsterdam or New York do?" They want ideas that begin here, shaped by the region's culture and created by people who live it, understand it, and are genuinely connected to the audience. Adidas' I'm Possible campaign is a perfect example. Instead of rolling out a global message, they started with a local truth: a YouGov stat that 88% of women in the Middle East believe sports aren't meant for them. adidas invited women across Dubai to share their own stories, and then took over the city's billboards with their images. It cut through because it was rooted in real women's voices, stories that felt personal, not performative. The takeaway? If you want your campaign to truly cut through, you can't afford to skip the work of uncovering local insight. It's not just about ticking a cultural box, it's about building creative that couldn't come from anywhere else. The brands leading the way are investing the time to understand the nuances: the humour, the language, the lived realities of their audience. Regional cues aren't being diluted anymore, they're being amplified. And the result is work that feels more confident, more connected, and far more likely to leave a mark. THINK BIG. ACT FAST. This is a region that moves fast and thinks big. Brands that wait for global sign-off or rely on tried-and-tested ideas will likely miss the moment. The most effective work here is reactive and matches the region's pace and ambition. Bold ideas that are sharp, timely, and strategically sound. Emirates nailed this strategic ambition with their Burj Khalifa stunt in 2021. When the UAE was removed from the UK's red list, Emirates responded quickly with a jaw-dropping visual: a flight attendant standing at the top of the world's tallest building holding signs celebrating the return of travel. Bold, timely, and completely mental. It gave them a new claim to fame: one of the "highest ads ever filmed". This is the level brands are competing with here. The work that lands here doesn't just move fast, it taps into the moment. The best brands are plugged into what's happening around them, and they're brave enough to respond with big, bold creative. It's not about waiting for the perfect global brief. It's about recognising the opportunity and having the guts to go for it. CREATIVITY BUILT FROM WITHIN The brands making the biggest impact aren't just getting the message right, they're getting the people right. The work that really connects here is being made by teams who understand this place because they're part of it. Not just flying in for a briefing or asking AI for cultural cues. It needs to be created by those experiencing the rhythm of everyday life, what people care about, laugh about, talk about. Campaigns like Puck's Recipe for Change or adidas' I'm Possible didn't land because they followed a formula. They worked because they were built by people who instinctively understood the tone, the sensitivities, and the stories that would resonate, and knew how to tell them in a way that felt natural, not forced. If you want your work to land here, it has to be created from here. Not adapted. Not translated. Created by people who know the difference between a borrowed insight and a real one, and who know how to build something original with it. Basically, what I'm saying is: brands need to be bold. More now than ever. And Dubai is the place to do it. I moved back because I could feel the ambition here and I want to be a part of it. The brands making the biggest impact are the ones grounding their ideas in local truth, reacting to the moment, and creating from within, not adapting a global formula. If you want to stay ahead, show up with work that's original, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.

Exclusive: Mark Cuban says AI will be a baseline skill like email or Excel in 5 years and entrepreneurs should embrace it or get left behind
Mark Cuban sees a world where AI fluency will be a baseline skill in the near-future. To be a successful entrepreneur, the billionaire investor tells Fortune in an exclusive interview that business owners need to know how to work with AI agents to make their businesses more efficient and cut costs. Mark Cuban is no stranger to AI advocacy—but now the billionaire investor sees a reality where AI will be a 'baseline skill like email or Excel' in five years time. Cuban believes that for business owners, being skilled in AI will be a table-stakes expectation. It's how they leverage the technology that will dictate their success in the years ahead. The billionaire told Fortune in an email Q&A that in 10 years, 'we'll see more people working for themselves' with the help of AI assistants, which will turn 'solo founders into full teams.' 'If you're not using [AI] to move faster or make smarter decisions, you're behind,' he wrote. Not only does Cuban see AI as a skill necessary for anyone to learn, but also as a team member any entrepreneur can invest in to help build their future. For Cuban, the future starts now. The ex-Shark Tank star advises ZenBusiness, an AI platform that has helped over 850,000 small business owners start their own companies. Cuban sees AI assistants like the one ZenBusiness launched on Tuesday as 'the ultimate equalizer.' Cuban has a financial interest in the ZenBusiness platform. ZenBusiness this week announced the launch of 'Velo,' a new AI agent designed to automate business operations like regulatory filings, research, and website creation. The AI chatbot will take data and information provided by business owners through their ZenBusiness user portals and provide personalized advice with no additional charge, acting as a '24/7 advisor,' ZenBusiness CEO and Founder Ross Buhrdorf told Fortune. Cuban said AI agents like Velo have the capacity to act as an entrepreneur's 'VP of ops, your first sales rep, your data analyst, and your legal counsel rolled into one, minus the payroll.' But, he warned entrepreneurs should treat AI like 'your smartest intern: ask the right questions, but always double-check the answers.' Buhrdorf said the chat bot comes with human technical support. In 2024, 5.12 million new applications to launch businesses were filed, a 6.9% decrease from 2023, which saw a record-breaking 5.5 million new business applications filed, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. While the pandemic, government stimulus and shifts to remote work drove record entrepreneurial activity, interest in starting new businesses remains strong. Cuban said the most common barriers for entrepreneurs today are 'fear and funding.' He believes AI agents can unlock entrepreneurs that are barred from entering an industry due to hiring costs. '[AI isn't] just a tool, it's leverage. If you're not using AI to move quicker and make smarter decisions, you're at a disadvantage,' Cuban wrote. 'The most successful entrepreneur will understand how to properly use AI.' Cuban believes AI won't replace entrepreneurs—rather, it will empower the ones who know how to harness the technology. 'At the end of the day, AI is a multiplier,' Cuban wrote. 'Use it, but don't be used by it.' This story was originally featured on Sign in to access your portfolio

Freelance or Full-Time? How to Choose Your Next Career Move
Should You Go Freelance Or Hold Out for Full-Time? I was recently laid off with some severance, which gave me some cushion in the job search. I know the job market is a slog though, so I wanted to make sure my skills are kept sharp not just for my next job but really in the long run. I am considering setting up an editorial and content strategy consultancy, so that at least I have recent projects that can continue to be valuable to potential employers. Would setting up a whole new business get in the way of actually seeking a job? Is that dividing my attentions/efforts into competing buckets? In a perfect world, if I knew I could not fail, I would set up my own consultancy offering fractional editorial leadership, from content strategy to execution, but I also don't know if I have what it takes to be a solo entrepreneur. – Experienced Journalist The best next career move is not a one-size-fits-all. It depends on your interests and priorities, as well as your runway for how long you can hold out for what you want (e.g., money you have to support yourself, emotional capacity to live in the uncertainty). It also depends on opportunities available to you – if you're an AI expert and getting multi-million dollar offers, you may want to ride that wave. This journalist asks about launching a business or looking for a job. When you're unemployed, that is your first fork in the road. Do you hedge your bets and try both? Or go all-in on one option? Why You Should Focus On One Option – Either Freelance Or Full-Time A big part of landing your next opportunity will come down to networking -- whether you're establishing a business and pitching your first clients or interviewing for jobs and pitching prospective employers. If you're pursuing both, you risk sounding undecided and therefore less attractive to either clients or employers. Even friendly networking contacts may be hesitant to refer you or just get confused about what you want help with (i.e., new business or job leads?). In addition to networking confusion, your branding may seem unfocused if you're speaking to clients and employers at the same time. Your LinkedIn profile plays a prominent role in your next move, and you have only one public profile. Your resume, networking pitch, and even professional references also need to be tailored to a next step. Why You Don't Have To Choose And Should Pursue Both Freelance And Job Search That said, there are professionals at different levels, in different roles and across industries who have managed to hold a traditional job and build a side hustle at the same time. The potential networking and branding hurdles are not insurmountable. You will need to show that you can perform as both a consultant and in-house and that you're genuinely interested in both. A big benefit to you of pulling that off and pursuing both business launch and traditional job search is that you broaden your chances for finding your next thing. If you're like this journalist who is not 100% sold on entrepreneurship, pursuing both is a way of experimenting before having to decide. Another big benefit is a speedier route to getting hired. Your next business client as a freelancer or next employer as a full-timer might be the same organization, so making yourself available to both a consulting assignment and traditional job can make it easier for that organization to say Yes. It gives them options, in case their budget is for outside vendors or for a permanent headcount. It gives the organization a try-before-you-buy option, as they can bring you in for a limited time or single project and then convert from temp to permanent, full-time. It also gives you a try-before-you-buy option, and you might decide to stick to consulting or hold out for another employer. How To Maximize Your Career Potential In Today's Job Market Today's job market has been linked to chaos, competition and uncertainty (yikes!). This gives the edge to Team Both – pursue freelance and look for a job. For each opportunity you consider, make your pitch less about the mechanics of consulting versus in-house and all about the best way to solve the problem your client/ employer is facing. Preview your solution, and emphasize your expertise – whether you come in as a freelancer or full-time employee is secondary to the fact that you will help them. In your networking and branding, keep the focus on your results – how you get paid is secondary to getting results. As you build up your business, you may find that landing a job is something you can layer on top of your existing business. In an uncertain market, having options is critical for moving forward. In a chaotic market, multiple sources of income is the foundation of career security.
