About us

Twelve strategists, creatives and analysts in Business Bay, Dubai, working in Arabic and English since 2015.

Who we are

We help ambitious Gulf companies grow by connecting strategy, creativity and data.

Wahaj was founded in 2015 by three marketers who had spent years at large network agencies and wanted to work closer to their clients. We keep the team small and senior: every project is run by people who have done it before, and nobody hides behind account managers.

We believe marketing in this region should be measurable, memorable and written for the customer in their own language, not translated as an afterthought.
