Launched in November 2025 and backed by communications advisory Paritee as a significant owner, the move marks a pivotal step in the agency’s growth strategy and responds to growing demand from clients operating in the UAE capital.
“Abu Dhabi is a distinct and extraordinary market in its own right. Between us, Iman and I have advised its governments, institutions, and businesses for over two decades,” said Lisa Welsh, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, North Seventy Five.
“The emirate demands communications expertise that is as deeply rooted in local context as it is globally connected, and we are proud to bring North Seventy Five’s full capabilities to the clients building its future,” she added.
North Seventy Five will offer its full suite of communications services to Abu Dhabi clients, including strategy, creative campaigns, design and identity, content and publishing, leadership training, corporate communications, crisis response, and data intelligence, all delivered by senior and bilingual advisors embedded in the region.
Since launching, North Seventy Five claims to have established itself as a trusted communications partner for the region’s most ambitious organisations, combining senior-led counsel, bilingual storytelling, and access to Paritee’s international network spanning the UK, US, Ireland, Germany, the Nordics, Belgium, France, Spain, and Italy. The expansion into Abu Dhabi aims to extend its services to a market where demand for agile, locally rooted communications expertise is accelerating.
