gambit pr & communications

Gambit Communications is a Dubai-based consultancy founded by Jamal Al Mawed bringing together experienced communications talent spanning agency and client side, corporate and consumer, regional and international. The word Gambit is defined as an opening move in chess where a risk is taken to secure an advantageous position; an action or set of actions you carry out in order to gain an advantage in a situation or game; or a remark made to start a conversation with someone. Communications is the same - it's about gaining advantages versus the competition and starting conversations with people. We aim to be the region’s first ‘premium’ agency, in that we hire only the best of the best at every experience level. Our unique business model allows us to pay for the best and retain the best without passing that cost on to the client. We cover the entire Middle East region providing services in our core areas of Public Relations, Social Media and Influencer Engagement. Our aim is to offer you the strategic thinking, digital acumen, communications expertise, creative executions, influencer relations and practical thinking that will allow you to achieve your business objectives, start conversations and stay one move ahead of your competition. So go on - make us your opening gambit.
