Telemarketing Cityscape has a dedicated team of industry specific, knowledge rich telemarketers that personally invite key delegates and industry professionals to ensure their attendance. Top job titles, investors and decision makers were contacted via telephone prior to the event. outdoor advertising Cityscape Abu Dhabi marketed to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week by the use of outdoor advertising to create brand awareness. Bridge banners were strategically located on selected locations which had high volumes of traffic at all times.
Cityscape Abu Dhabi was a great opportunity to meet with industry peers and gain insight into the UAE market. Its ability to attract the leading names in Abu Dhabi real estate makes it well worth the journey down from Dubai. Not only am I able to ensure I keep on top of new trends but it provides you with the opportunity to network with your industry peers and make valuable new contacts at the same time. I am looking forward to Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2012.
