Marketing & Advertising Agency in the UAE for Pakistanis

Digital marketing, social media management, advertising, branding and PR services

Ajman Media City is UAE's media and content-creator hub — licences from AED 5,000, and it has become one of the most practical choices for entrepreneurs who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Setting up a company in Ajman Media City gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. The most common businesses Pakistanis open through GoldenKey are in trading, textiles and garments, logistics and construction, although Ajman Media City supports almost any activity. GoldenKey has Pakistani clients from Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, and our consultants understand the papers released in Pakistan and how to attest them for the UAE.

Why Ajman Media City

On the ground, popular activities in Ajman Media City include media production, digital marketing, broadcasting, publishing and advertising, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. From day one, unlike some zones, Ajman Media City does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued.
