Campaign ME shuts down
I have posted about Campaign ME numerous times before since its my favorite regional advertising publication. Last week the Campaign ME advertising awards got canceled and no explanation was given which sucked since my agency was tipped as being “Creative Agency of the Year”. Rumors then started flying around that the publication was going to close down and it seems the rumors are true.
I just read an article on mediaME which shed more light into this story. It seems Haymarket, a UK based firm that holds the license for Campaign ME, has pulled the license from IITP the current publishing house of Campaign ME.
It really sucks that they did that. Campaign ME, you will be missed.

i’ll pretend to know about what you’re talking about
What was so special about their publication?
oh HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is hilarious for reasons you know. awwwww
Marzouq it was free, bi-weekly and very informative. Kept me up to date on what was going on in the region.
Maybe this is the first company to realise that the Middle East “boom” is just a lot of hot air… most of which is escaping by the minute. You can’t build a business around one city only (i.e. Dubai).
I am no more getting my free copy too:(
Miss u CampaignME!
