The brief

The agency’s client wants its best people to feel rewarded: a trip they will talk about all year and want to earn again. The agency producer needs one partner in Dubai for every experience on the programme, working to the agency’s brief and under its name with the client.

The format and the experts

Four days, five signature moments:

  • Desert sunrise: falconry and breakfast in the dunes as the sun comes up.
  • Performance: an Olympic coach on how champions prepare, perform and recover.
  • Chef’s table: Emirati cuisine, told course by course by a culinary storyteller.
  • Creative atelier: a hands-on afternoon, from perfume to calligraphy, with something to take home.
  • Awards night: the President’s Club ceremony with live music to close the trip.

The setting

A Dubai resort for the stay, the dunes outside the city for the sunrise, and private spaces for the chef’s table and the awards night. From October to April the programme lives outdoors; in summer the desert moments move to sunrise and the rest into the resort’s private spaces.

The outcome

Sixty top performers fly home with a trip they will talk about all year and a reason to earn the next one. The agency presents one programme to its client, with one partner in Dubai behind every moment.
