DMC hosts Talent Zone at the Media and Marketing Show 2007

Media related freelancers based in the DMC Business Centre will be able to meet with prospective clients at the Zone and share their experiences.

The DMC Talent Zone, within the 180 sq metre stand at the Middle East's largest industry focused show for media and marketing segments, provides a platform for freelancers as well as small companies to strengthen their ties with the regional players. Provided at no extra cost to the freelancers, the Zone will be a regular feature at the event.

Mohammed Al Mulla, Director of Dubai Media City said:

'Supporting the development of a creative media community is part of our larger strategy of nurturing talent in the region. Apart from being a hub for the industry, Dubai Media City is one of the largest pools of independent talent that the industry can tap for their needs.'

'Over the past six years, we have supported the growth of many enterprising individual media professionals. However, the Media and Marketing Show is a great opportunity for freelancers and small companies to enhance visibility and build new links with the region's expanding media industry.'

The Media Talent Zone will include an exhibition area that will feature works by graphic designers, photographers and media software professionals.

After the success of Phase One and Phase Two, DMC Media Business Centre launched Media Business Centre Phase Three, which was announced during last year's Media and Marketing Show. The Business Centre Phase Three is fully operational now, hosting over 120 start-ups and branches of international companies.

The new phase significantly expands the Media Business Centre, which already has 403 members, one of the largest sources of freelance media talent in the region.

Dubai Media City is the official patron of the Media and Marketing Show 2007, the region's premier forum that showcases latest industry initiatives, trends and technologies in advertising, broadcasting, entertainment, events, marketing, new media, outdoor advertising and publishing in the Middle East. The event will run from November 11-13, at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
