Traffic is very proud to announce a new project in its partnership with Aujan Industries, having been entrusted us with the prestigious job of designing the new website for mega-brand Barbican.

 

Barbican was launched in Saudi Arabia in 1983, and spearheaded the trend for alcohol-free drinks. During its three decades of production the brand has continually grown by adding new flavours to its range. Aujan acquired the brand from Bass Breweries in 1997 and has since taken Barbican to the next level, launching a number of new varieties, such as strawberry, pineapple and peach, in a bid to attract a wider audience.

Managing Director & Owner of Traffic, Johnny Huntington, says: “We are very pleased and excited to be building our relationship with Aujan. They are one of the most well establish FMCG companies in the Middle East and have an incredible history. We relish the opportunity to help give their Barbican brand a fresh look; we look forward to a continued and fruitful partnership.”

Traffic has helped some of the biggest names in the food & beverage industry such as Kraft & Carrefour by building them spectacular online material that engage and inspire target consumers as well as breathing new life into their brands.

Traffic beat off tough competition from other Middle Eastern agencies to land the contract to re-build Msheireb’s website. We are really pleased to be working with a company of such high distinction that shares very similar values and ideas to Traffic. 

For those who are unfamiliar with the company, Msheireb Properties is based in Qatar, their name means ‘a place to drink water’, which is the historical name of the old town centre of Doha. They are a real estate company and a subsidiary of the Qatar Foundation; it is a commercial initiative that aims to contribute to the Foundation’s ambitions and the Qatar National Vision 2030.

Msheireb is a property company with a difference; their mission is to change peoples’ attitudes to urban living by raising their quality of life as well as their standard of living. Their projects and developments seek to promote greater social interaction, honour cultural heritages and educate people on the need for greater care for the environment.

Traffic’s Owner Johnny Huntington said, “We are thrilled to be working with such a forward-thinking company as Msheireb, they exemplify core beliefs and values I hold personally and I commend the work they are doing.”

Our challenge as Msheireb’s online partner has been to give their whole Web presence a boost, enabling them to communicate their message to the widest audience possible. We are redesigning their website in order to more effectively present them as a premier property developer operating on an international level, giving coverage of their projects to a worldwide audience. Visually and textually we shall capture their corporate brand, ethos and mission to totally reposition their online presence.

We are nearing completion on this project; anyone interested in seeing the finished article should pay us another visit very soon.

Facbook, the social network with 900 million active users, has set share prices for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The business is expected to float 337,415,352 Class-A shares worth between $28 and $35 (AED 103 and AED 127) each, on Monday, May 18th, 2012.

About 10 per cent of the business is being sold, which is expected to raise about $12bn (AED44bn). 

Facebook is currently valued at between $85bn-$95bn (AED310bn – AED342bn), while the IPO is expected to be the biggest ever for an internet firm. 

Facebook will rival Amazon's and Cisco System's current market values, and is time, will emerge as a strong challenger to Google’s absolute hegemony on the Nasdaq. 

According to the deal Mark Zuckerberg will own 31.5 per cent of Facebook's outstanding stock. This tantamounts to $17.6bn (AED64.2bn) in holdings, enough to place him on the 33rd spot on the Forbes' list of the world's richest people - not bad for a 27 year old eh?
