Marketing & Advertising Agency in the UAE for Russians

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 founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through Ajman Media City company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. In short, typical examples of this activity include social media agency, SEO agency, branding studio and PR consultancy, which can usually sit together on one Ajman Media City licence. GoldenKey has Russian clients from Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Kazan, and our consultants understand the supporting documents issued in Russia and how to attest them for the UAE.

Why Ajman Media City

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 granted. The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE) and Free Zone Company (FZCO), which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.
