FRC Agency 🇷🇺 Global

📹 Recently our team took part in a webinar organized by Oak3D Visualisation Studio for the UAE market talking about how to build trust in a high-pressure UAE real estate market and asking the question what makes developers choose partners, not just vendors.

🇦🇪 During the session, we discussed how PR today helps developers in the UAE not only build reputation, but also solve real business challenges, key topics included:

🧡 how PR helps reduce reputational and commercial risks
🧡 why trust directly impacts sales and decision-making speed
❤️ why developers need visibility even before the tender stage
🧡 how media relations, industry events, partnerships, and collaborations strengthen market trust and brand awareness

Today, PR in real estate is no longer just a supporting marketing function - it has become part of a project’s commercial infrastructure, influencing perception, credibility, and competitiveness in the market.

📼 The presentation of our speaker, Kristina Matsak, Head of PR projects at FRC, can be found in the comments under this post.

🇦🇪 The UAE is strengthening the role of Arabic: what it means for media, PR and marketing

As reported by Khaleej Times, the UAE is preparing a new Arabic Language Law — and this is an important signal not only for public institutions, but also for businesses, media, PR and marketing teams.

According to the draft law, Arabic should be present in public-facing communications, including visual, audio and written advertising, promotional campaigns, events, conferences and official meetings when the main language is not Arabic. The draft also touches on internal company policies, customer service and the need for Arabic-speaking staff in certain sectors.

📣 For the communications industry, the message is clear: in the UAE, localization is no longer just a “nice-to-have” addition to the English version. It is becoming part of a brand’s reputation, compliance and cultural relevance.

What does this mean for PR and marketing? 💵

❤️ Companies operating in the UAE will need to pay closer attention to the language of press releases, advertising campaigns, websites, social media, public statements and events. Arabic-language communication should not be treated as a mechanical translation. It should be a fully developed part of the strategy — accurate, culturally sensitive and relevant to the local audience.

💚For the media sector, this also reflects a broader shift. Arabic is expected to play a more visible role in the public agenda, which means brands will need a deeper understanding of the local media landscape, editorial expectations and Arabic-language content standards.

🤍 For international companies, this is another reminder: entering the UAE market is not only about business opportunities. It is also about understanding and respecting the country’s cultural context.

And this is a good moment to remind our audience that Fresh Russian Communications now also works in the UAE. We help companies adapt their communications for the MENA market, build PR strategies, work with the local agenda and speak to audiences in a way that is clear, relevant and culturally accurate.

🥇 In this new environment, the strongest brands will not be the ones that simply translate their messages. They will be the ones that know how to sound natural, appropriate and meaningful in the local context.

How to set PR goals — and actually achieve them

One of the most common mistakes in PR planning is confusing goals, objectives, and KPIs. For example, the number of media mentions is not a goal — it’s just one metric that should serve a broader strategic objective.

Here’s how to set PR goals that truly create value for your business:

1️⃣ Start with business goals. PR should support sales, brand recognition, reputation — whatever matters most for growth.

2️⃣ Define your target audiences. Go beyond just B2B/B2C — segment stakeholders: investors, regulators, partners, employees, etc.

3️⃣ Assess your resources. Is your CEO media-ready? Do you have experts available for commentary? What channels can you use?

4️⃣ Make goals measurable. Use the SMART approach. Don’t just say "increase awareness" — set a clear target like "get 10 features in top-3 industry media by Q3".

5️⃣ Consider context. External factors impact PR. Be ready to adapt when the news cycle or market shifts.

6️⃣ Balance your KPIs. Go beyond volume — measure quality of mentions: sentiment, influence, key messaging, quotes, and citations.

7️⃣ Align PR goals with business goals — continuously. Every PR effort should clearly contribute to the bigger picture.

8️⃣ Analyze your current position. Who are your media competitors? Where do you stand now — and what’s the gap?

9️⃣ Choose the right tools. Not every situation calls for a press release. Sometimes an expert column or podcast is far more effective.

🔟 Be realistic about timelines. PR takes time — from idea to publication can be weeks (or months).

1️⃣1️⃣ Evaluate along the way. What’s working? What’s not? Is PR making a difference to the bottom line?

1️⃣2️⃣ Conduct a deep-dive analysis. Every result fuels the next strategy.
