Chapters
- 2004
A studio opens in Dubai
LINKVIVA begins as an experiential marketing agency at the moment the Emirates starts building its calendar of live moments. The brief then is the brief now: make something people travel for.
- Chapter 02
Learning the city's scale
Road closures, stadium load-ins, mall footfall, desert logistics. The studio grows by taking on the events nobody else wants to programme twice, then delivering them twice.
- Chapter 03
Sport as mass participation
Dubai Run and Dubai Ride turn Sheikh Zayed Road into a track. 307,000 runners. 40,300 cyclists. 638 Emirati marshals. Sport becomes the studio's proof that scale and warmth can share a morning.
- Chapter 04
Culture, in its own language
MOTN across Abu Dhabi, Dhafra and Al Ain. Liwa Village in the dunes. China & UAE Harmony's fortieth year. Cultural work demands accuracy before spectacle, and the studio builds a practice around it.
- Chapter 05
Wellness, and what comes next
Kayan Wellness Festival launches the region's first festival of its kind on a site with no infrastructure, and wins Best Festival of the Year in the Middle East. The studio now builds its own IP alongside client work.
- Today
Twenty-one nationalities, five continents
