Today’s electrifying business landscape is abuzz with brands, both new and established. With every business trying to outshine another, creative agencies have become an indispensable resource that can refine brand identity to reflect its unique voice and values, enhancing brand recognition and visibility through creative and strategic services. From creating compelling concepts to designing impactful visuals and narratives, these agencies leverage their experience in grabbing the audiences’ pulse and uncoding the dynamic market trends for delivering game-changing solutions.
Dubai’s KNOW Creative, a full-service creative agency, established in 2016, emerges as a reckoning force in this domain. Amalgamating expertise across diverse creative verticals with authenticity and sincerity to challenge conventions and shape the brand’s long-term internal and external identity. Recognizing the pivotal role that modern technology plays in this domain, the firm also emphasizes careful adaptation and implementation rather than hurriedly jumping on the bandwagon, to preserve the ingenuity of the brands.
KNOW Uniqueness
In this dynamic industry, KNOW Creative’s pioneering position is cemented by its core values and approach to crafting tailored solutions. By carefully choosing clients to forge partnerships with, the company ensures it onboards brands that are ready to push the boundaries by questioning, challenging, and confronting their basic values and what they stand for. Gaining insight into this mindset, the firm creates plans and strategies to effectively shake things up, change the angles of approach, and carve out fresh perspectives and opportunities that enable the client to experience the power of transformational growth.
“At KNOW Creative, our promise is to match our clients' passion with our own—going above and beyond to transcend expectations. Being a creative partner means not being afraid to challenge the brief, or query preconceived ideas. We're an ideas agency, so the best clients embrace KNOW's core strength—to challenge everything and allow us to rip things apart to discover new points of differentiation, and offer fresh perspectives and bold ideas. We strongly believe that it's only when you allow things to flow freely, and new narratives to emerge, that fun is found and most importantly, creativity is uncovered”, shares David Kirkland, Founder.
Over the years, KNOW Creative has developed an extremely diverse portfolio of services and solutions,
which has given it the confidence to not just serve regional clients, but also attract international ones, along with the best talent to deliver exceptional results. These service areas include creative direction, brand identity, production and photography, event design, internal engagement, corporate communications, and animations and motion pictures. Equipped with a diverse and expert workforce from around the world composed of calligraphers, typographers, animators, photographers, 3D wizards and more, the firm distinguishes itself on the creative uniqueness that it truly offers. This, as KNOW states, had proved to be the foundation of its success.
Leveraging the expertise of these maestros, the company follows a methodical approach to creating solutions which starts with a deep dive into understanding and analyzing the very essence of the client brand. This process encompasses interactions and research to understand the brand’s values, personality and overarching goals.
Apart from comprehending brand voice, the team also immerses in understanding key insights about the brand’s target audience through extensive research and evaluation of key analytics points. With all key information at its disposal, the team at KNOW Creative starts collaborations with the client brands to translate key points and themes into visual content that attracts attention, presents a compelling narrative and holds the strength to forge emotional connections.

The firm drives brand success by crafting distinguished visual solutions that look stunning, but are equally effective in communicating the key brand messages that resonate with the target audiences. It is the team’s superpower to create emotionally rich yet crisp narratives and present them in diverse manners like 3D animations, photographs, films, and more, that helps brands reinvent their image and identity effectively.
