Eighty Six Media

What Eighty Six Media does

Eighty Six Media L.L.C. is a privately held, full-service digital marketing agency headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, founded in 2019. The company name references the fact that Abu Dhabi comprises 86% of the UAE's land area. It serves small, medium, and enterprise clients primarily in the UAE and broader MENA market, with a bilingual Arabic/English execution capability and an 'extended Marketing Department' positioning. Named clients span automotive (Audi Abu Dhabi, Volkswagen Abu Dhabi), insurance (ADNIC), government and diplomatic institutions (Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy, Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Sports Academy), F&B chains (Chili's UAE & Bahrain), retail (Deerfields Mall), healthcare (Adria Clinic Dubai), space/aerospace (Madari Space), and SMBs (Grubz, Lida Flowers, KCHNZ).

The agency's core service portfolio spans ten offerings: Branding & Identity, Website Design & Development, Social Media Management, SEO, Campaign Management, Media Production, E-Commerce (delivered in partnership with Bspoq), PR Agency/Press Services, UGC Content Creators, and VFX. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies on standard agency production tooling (WordPress, Shopify/BigCommerce/Shopline via Bspoq, and conventional social/content production workflows). Distribution and marketing channels are direct-to-client, supported by an active blog and presence across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

The business model is professional services revenue delivered through custom quotes on a project, retainer, or ongoing account management basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. GTM is consultative and sales-led, targeting enterprises, mid-market firms, and SMBs through direct outreach, referrals, and digital presence. The firm is independently owned with no disclosed external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors, and operates a team in the 11-50 employee range from its Al Raha Building office on the Abu Dhabi Corniche.
