Wonderful to see Conran Design Group featured prominently in Khaleej Times, one of the leading publications in Dubai and the Middle East, for its exceptional brand work. In the article, Ludwig Duran explains how branding can spark global conversations and shape perceptions, highlighting what Saudi Arabia’s bid for the FIFA World Cup 2034 can learn from Conran’s iconic work at the Paris 2024 Games. “Through thoughtful branding and design, a country like Saudi Arabia can tell a new story—one that balances tradition and modernity, heritage and progress. As Duran puts it, ‘Brand is the cornerstone of any organisation's ability to drive public perception or a change in public perception.’ For Saudi Arabia, this World Cup can be the foundation of a new chapter in its story.” Thanks to Somya Mehta for such an excellent article! #Branding #Paris2024 #FIFA2034 #MENA

“It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace.“ At TDC PR, we believe that open conversations about mental health are crucial, especially in creative industries where the fast pace can lead to stress and burnout. This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re joining the World Federation for Mental Health's global call to make mental health a priority in the workplace—and it starts with talking. Talking about mental health can feel challenging, but it's a powerful step toward reducing stigma and fostering a supportive environment. Whether you're sharing your own experiences or checking in with a colleague, conversations can make all the difference. Here are a few tips for starting meaningful dialogue to offer support: 🌟 Find a distraction-free space to talk: giving your full attention shows you care. 🌟 Listen and ask thoughtful questions: listening can be incredibly powerful and help them feel understood. 🌟 Ask how you can help instead of assuming what they need: it could be as simple as offering a regular check-in or helping with tasks. We believe that by supporting one another and normalising mental health discussions, we create a more resilient, thriving team. Let's continue to make mental health a shared responsibility. By talking, listening, and offering support, we can ensure that everyone feels valued and heard. #TDCPR #MentalHealthAtWork #BreakTheStigma #WorldMentalHealthDay2024
