Strategic Experience Design & Production Agency for Global Brands in the UAE and Turkey
Eventkraft is a strategic experience design and production agency headquartered in Istanbul, with a Dubai hub. We work with global brands, FTSE 250 developers, technology companies, and cultural institutions across Turkey, UAE and Europe. Our work covers corporate events, brand activations, cultural activations, experience strategy, experiential marketing and cross-border event production . We begin with the audience: what they should feel, do, and remember. That journey becomes a spatial narrative, then becomes a precisely produced experience. Dubai Hub: Our dual-hub model pairs director-level strategy and creative from our Istanbul studio with client relationship management, venue partnerships, government liaison, and on-ground delivery from Dubai. The two teams operate as one continuous unit, not as a headquarters and a satellite. We were already operating in the region. Our model was designed for uninterrupted delivery across markets, calendars, and conditions. 9 people in their team

Description Eventkraft designs and produces strategic experiences for global brands hosting events in Turkey, the UAE, and across Europe. Our work covers international corporate summits, executive retreats, brand activations, real estate launches, and cultural programmes. Every project begins with audience journey mapping, not venue scouting. The result is a spatial narrative that becomes a precisely produced experience. Recent references include Berkeley Group's MEA Signature Showcase at Raffles Istanbul (900 guests across two consecutive editions), Tenthpin XChange in Antalya (350 attendees from eight countries over three days), and the Ajman 2030 Vision Launch attended by 300 VVIPs including the Crown Prince. Our Istanbul strategy and creative team works alongside our Dubai delivery hub as one continuous unit, leading complex international briefs from first concept to last guest. Director-level strategy and on-ground production, transparent process throughout. Independent agency structure, methodology-led, no vendor bias.Skills in Event (30) Experiential MarketingEvent MarketingEvent Content CreationEvent ProductionEvent ManagementBrand ExperienceEvent PlanningPress EventsPublic EventCorporate Event Management+20Works in Event (13) Reviews in Event (4) Polen GokbugetDaniela BarrosLeila KadiriOlivia WyattClients in Event (4) Sobha RealtyEntertainment & Events | internationalRIOT GamesVideo games | internationalGreat Place to Work and VolvoAutomotive | internationalGovernment of AjmanGovernment & Administration | international
Learn more about EventDescription Eventkraft's digital product practice designs research-led interfaces, platforms, and tools for clients who need software-grade usability with brand-grade clarity. We work across product UX, public-facing platforms, internal tools, and the digital extensions of physical experiences. Notable work includes the ICH Platform for the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi, a heritage learning platform built for UAE schools and the wider region. The platform reached 6,000 active users within six months, scaled to 26,000 users across nine countries, and now supports 750+ teacher profiles. We also work on consumer applications where mindful design language and user behaviour insight are central to product adoption. Our process starts with user research, prototyping, and behavioural analysis. Every interface decision is grounded in interviews and testing, not assumptions. We design for clients who treat their digital product as a brand expression, not a feature list. Service ecosystem mapping included where the product spans multiple touchpoints.Skills in Ergonomy (UX/UI) (30) UX DesignUI DesignDesign ThinkingUsability TestingUser ResearchUser TestingUser JourneyUX ResearchCustomer Journey MappingInteraction Design+20Works in Ergonomy (UX/UI) (6) Review in Ergonomy (UX/UI) (1) Mihri MinazClients in Ergonomy (UX/UI) (4) Government of AjmanGovernment & Administration | internationalDepartment of Culture and Tourism Abu DhabiGovernment & Administration | nationalbeamsSoftware & Computer Services | internationalAQTIONBanking & Financials | international
Learn more about Ergonomy (UX/UI)Description Eventkraft's strategy practice helps brands plan experience programmes that span digital and physical touchpoints. Our Strategy Director leads brief interrogation, audience segmentation, and journey design before tactical execution begins. The output is a programme architecture that holds together across formats, geographies, and team handoffs. We work with global brands and developers planning cross-border activations, technology companies designing multi-market summit programmes, and cultural institutions framing strategic narratives. Our independent agency model means we design strategy without bias toward any single channel or vendor. A typical engagement starts with a four to six week Experience Strategy and Journey Audit. The output is a programme blueprint, audience journey map, and a clear set of activation principles that can guide execution by our team, by your in-house team, or by partner agencies.Skills in Digital Strategy (9) Digital TransformationDigital ConsultingDigital InnovationGamification StrategyDigital TransitionDigitalizationDigital ExpertiseDigital MarketingWeb MarketingWorks in Digital Strategy (6) Review in Digital Strategy (1) G.

Learn more about Digital StrategyDescription Eventkraft builds purpose-built websites and microsites for brand activations, event programmes, and digital products. Our work covers campaign sites, event registration platforms, post-event content hubs, and standalone product platforms for clients who need their digital presence to feel like an extension of the wider experience. Every site we build is treated as part of a larger experience system, not a standalone marketing asset. We apply the same journey-first methodology we use for physical experiences: who lands here, what they need to feel and do, what action follows, and what data we capture for the next touchpoint. Examples include event registration and content platforms for international summits, brand activation campaign sites, and the ICH Platform for the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi. Our in-house team covers UX research, interface design, frontend development, and content architecture. We work in Webflow, Framer, and custom stacks depending on project requirements. Multilingual builds and CRM, marketing, and analytics integration are standard.Skills in Website Creation (16) Web DesignWebsite DevelopmentShowcase WebsiteResponsive Web DesignWeb ContentLanding Page DesignCustom WebsiteWireframe DesignMultilingual WebsiteMicrosite+6Works in Website Creation (4) Clients in Website Creation (4) Government of AjmanGovernment & Administration | internationalDepartment of Culture and Tourism Abu DhabiGovernment & Administration | nationalAQTIONBanking & Financials | internationalIstanbul Marketing GroupEntertainment & Events | national
Learn more about Website CreationDescription Eventkraft's 3D practice supports spatial design, venue visualisation, and immersive experience concepts. We use 3D in three ways: for design development so clients can walk through a venue before build, for client pitch and approval through renders that communicate concept clearly, and as the foundation for set construction and production direction. Recent applications include the Berkeley Group Signature Showcase plane tunnel concept rendered before build, themed rooms reflecting London neighbourhoods (tea room, pub, phone booth, scale models room), custom stage and exhibition booth designs for international corporate clients - large scale festival organisers, and venue transformation concepts for activation programmes. Our 3D team works alongside spatial designers, creative directors, and production leads, so the output is not just visualisation but buildable design with realistic material, lighting, and structural specifications. We use Unreal Engine 5, Depence R4, Vectorworks, wysiwyg, Cinema 4D, Blender, and SketchUp depending on project needs, and pair 3D with motion content where the experience requires cinematic visuals or projection mapping.Skills in 3D (9) 3D Rendering3D Animation3D Modeling3D Design3D VisualisationConceptual DesignEvent Conceptualization3D Virtual Visits3D Exhibition Booth ModelingWorks in 3D (11) Clients in 3D (4) Sobha RealtyEntertainment & Events | internationalRIOT GamesVideo games | internationalGreat Place to Work and VolvoAutomotive | internationalGovernment of AjmanGovernment & Administration | international
Learn more about 3DDescription Eventkraft designs the visual systems that hold an experience together. Our graphic design work covers signage and wayfinding, stage and screen graphics, badge and credential systems, branded collateral and gifting, menus, exhibition graphics, registration assets, and post-event content materials. Every project receives a system, not a set of one-off assets. We build design rules so every printed and digital touchpoint reads as part of one experience, even when the production team grows large or the project spans multiple cities, languages, or weeks. Recent work includes the full visual system for Berkeley Group Signature Showcase (cohesive identity across plane tunnel, themed rooms, consultation areas, and printed take-aways), the Tenthpin XChange multi-day multi-venue programme with consistent visual language across networking dinners, knowledge fair, and gala awards, and Yandex Navigation Partnerships at Feriye Palace. Our graphic design team works directly with creative direction and production, removing the handoff loss that typically happens between strategy, design, and build.Skills in Graphic Design (25) Creative ConceptIllustrationPrint DesignVisual DesignCreative DesignEvent DesignMerchandisingCorporate DesignPitch Deck DesignGraphic Art+15Works in Graphic Design (6) Clients in Graphic Design (4) Government of AjmanGovernment & Administration | internationalYandexAdsSoftware & Computer Services | internationalTenthpinManagement Consulting | internationalDepartment of Culture and Tourism Abu DhabiGovernment & Administration | national
Learn more about Graphic DesignDescription Eventkraft designs micro-brand identities for events, activations, and programmes that need a distinct visual presence within or alongside a parent brand. This includes naming, logo systems, type and colour, motion treatment, and the full identity application across physical, print, and digital touchpoints. Where most identity work is for permanent brands, our identity work is for time-bound experiences: a flagship corporate summit, a recurring brand activation, a cultural launch, a multi-edition programme. The challenge is to feel ownable and lasting while serving a programme that runs days, weeks, or one season. Recent identities include the Signature Showcase system for Berkeley Group (used across two consecutive annual editions in Istanbul), the XChange identity for Tenthpin's global summit, and the Spirit of the Union visual identity for the Ajman 2030 Vision Launch. Each identity holds together across motion, print, signage, and digital, and is built to extend cleanly if the programme returns the following year.Skills in Graphic Identity (5) Web DesignUX DesignIdentity Design3D Design2D DesignWorks in Graphic Identity (3) Clients in Graphic Identity (3) Government of AjmanGovernment & Administration | internationalDepartment of Culture and Tourism Abu DhabiGovernment & Administration | nationalIstanbul Marketing GroupEntertainment & Events | national
Learn more about Graphic IdentityDescription Eventkraft plans and produces outdoor components for brand activation programmes that extend from experience into the city. Our work covers wild posting and street media tied to activations, transit and city installation supports for brand campaigns, branded city interventions for product launches, and pre-event teaser presence for major activation moments. We approach outdoor as part of a larger experience system, not as a standalone media buy. The brief is usually: how does the city see this campaign before, during, and after the activation moment, and how does outdoor presence drive footfall to the live experience. Recent applications include city-wide pre-event presence for cultural launches and brand activation extensions for international consumer brand campaigns in Istanbul and Dubai. We coordinate with local outdoor partners, permitting authorities, and production teams. Our role is creative, planning, and production within a wider activation programme; for full media-buying-only mandates we recommend specialist partners.Skills in Outdoor Advertising (7) Street MarketingBillboard DesignGuerrilla MarketingDigital SignageOut Of Home AdvertisingRailway AdvertisingBuilding Wrapping CampaignWorks in Outdoor Advertising (3) Clients in Outdoor Advertising (3) Government of AjmanGovernment & Administration | internationalYandexAdsSoftware & Computer Services | internationalIstanbul Marketing GroupEntertainment & Events | national
Learn more about Outdoor AdvertisingDescription Eventkraft develops integrated advertising programmes for international brands activating in Turkey and the UAE. Our work concentrates on BTL campaigns, brand activations, product launches, sampling and roadshow programmes, and experiential marketing for consumer-facing brands. We design and produce the live, on-ground, and physical components that conventional advertising agencies typically subcontract or skip entirely. We work with FMCG and consumer brands planning multi-city sampling and roadshow programmes, technology companies launching products into Turkish or UAE markets, luxury and lifestyle brands building flagship physical presences, and developers and government clients designing public-facing communication moments. Every campaign starts with audience journey design: where the audience encounters the brand, what they should feel and do, what proof of engagement we leave behind, and how the activation feeds into broader marketing performance. Recent references include international real estate launch campaigns, cross-border product launches, and government strategy unveiling moments. Our independent agency structure allows us to plan without channel or vendor bias.Skills in Advertising (8) Advertising CampaignFull-ServiceGuerilla AdvertisingB2B AdvertisingMulti Channel AdvertisingGraphic Design AdvertisingAdvertising PitchGeofencing AdvertisingWorks in Advertising (3) Clients in Advertising (3) Government of AjmanGovernment & Administration | internationalYandexAdsSoftware & Computer Services | internationalIstanbul Marketing GroupEntertainment & Events | national
Learn more about AdvertisingDescription Eventkraft produces video content for events, brand activations, and digital experiences. Our work covers cinematic content for immersive installations such as projection environments and tunnel experiences, recap and post-event films, brand films for activation programmes, and motion content for stage, screen, and digital channels. Notable applications include the Berkeley Group Signature Showcase Edition 2 cinematic plane tunnel (custom film inspired by UK districts, projected across full LED tunnel infrastructure), recap films for Tenthpin XChange (350 attendees, eight countries, three-day programme), brand films for Yandex Navigation Partnerships at Feriye Palace, and Logitech Advisory Board recap content covering the Bosphorus and Feriye Restaurant programme. Our video team works alongside creative direction and spatial design, so motion is conceived as part of the experience, not added at the end. We cover concept, scripting, production direction, on-event filming, and post-production. Multi-camera live event coverage and same-day edit delivery are standard for major international summits.Skills in Video Production (14) AftermovieVideo EditingVideo ShootingFilmmakingVisual EffectsVoice OverAudiovisual ProductionDrone ShootingSpecial Effects (SFX)Storyboard Writing+4Works in Video Production (4) Clients in Video Production (3) Government of AjmanGovernment & Administration | internationalTenthpinManagement Consulting | internationalBerkeley GroupReal Estate | international
