Cicero and Bernay

Cicero & Bernay (C&B) stands as one of the Middle East’s most trusted communication advisors, with 95% of clients retained on long-term contracts and enduring relationships that span over a decade, including a 15-year partnership with Dubai Land Department.

Initiatives like our Happy programme, flexible policies, and continuous training have enabled a 75% retention rate.

Our work has been recognised by leading industry bodies including PRCA, MEPRA, Stevie Awards, and MENA Digital Awards, reflecting our impact and commitment to setting benchmarks for communications excellence.
