Beirut, Lebanon � Integrated communications agency AroundtheClock (ATC) has announced the opening of its Beirut office, marking a significant step in its regional expansion and reinforcing its presence across the Levant and the GCC.

Founded in Dubai in 2018, ATC quickly established itself as a system-driven communications partner for ambitious brands. In 2024, the agency expanded to Abu Dhabi, opening in Masdar City, the UAE's flagship sustainable district. The launch of its Beirut office now completes a strategic triangle between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Beirut, positioning Lebanon as the agency's creative and innovation hub for the region.

The Beirut operation brings together more than twenty communications specialists across client partnership, creative, social and media. The office will serve clients across Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and the wider Gulf, strengthening cross-market collaboration and knowledge exchange.

As part of this expansion, ATC has appointed Angelo El Chami as Regional Chief Creative Officer, overseeing creative output across all three offices, and elevating the agency's storytelling craft while scaling its integrated model across markets.

"Our new office in Lebanon is an investment in creative firepower � for Beirut has always been a capital of ideas. This bold step amplifies our ability to build brands that move markets, across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, the Levant, and beyond."

� Rizk Naifeh, Chairman and Co-Founder of ATC

ATC's growth builds on a strong portfolio of partnerships with brands operating in a wide spectrum of industries, including Sustainability, Banking & Finance, Real Estate, Hospitality, FMCG, Retail, Automotive, Technology, Culture, and Education, delivering integrated strategies that connect brand, media, technology, and performance.

In a region navigating both opportunity and volatility, ATC's model is designed for resilience. The agency views communications not as fragmented services, but as a unified system � where strategy, creativity, data, and technology operate without internal barriers.

With Beirut now operational, ATC signals further expansion ahead, continuing its mission to build brands in motion across the MENA region and beyond.
