i consider an advertising agencies as the hub of the city, because they offer their communication services to everyone, dealing with everyone… they keep monitoring everything going on in the city so they can communicate well with their advertising, create good brand that can stand out and solve the their clients communication problems.
for me, being working in the strongest advertising agency in abu dhabi which means lots of different clients i can say that abu dhabi is absolutely booming .. i never seen or heard about anything like this, new companies everyday, new employees everyday, unqualified people are getting fired, people are coming from all over the world…
but,
the city wasn’t ready for this at all, so:
- accommodation problems [i will write about this in a separate post].
- there is no enough parking for the cars, and it’s normal to see cars parking anywhere, everywhere.
- very bad services everywhere, because companies used to hire unqualified people who were good enough before this booming, but now everyone is suffering from this bad services that doesn’t stand with the standard of living that people expect to have when they decided to come to abu dhabi.
hmmmm, simply this abu dhabi is not ready at all for this booming… but i am sure things will change, because things can’t remain like this, and the good things is that the government is aware of the situation, but when things will change!

It’s very hard to sustain in advertising agency. You have to think different and out of box. Hope you are doing well.

Ramadan Kareem, Hani. Ok, I know Ramadan does not afford much time for photo blogs, but it’s been three months! :) I hope you’ll be posted again soon.
