Kobza+ Collective, a new creative and strategy consultancy, has launched in Dubai. The consultancy focuses on providing strategic communication and creative solutions for regional and international clients, with an emphasis on driving growth and transformation.

The company was first established in September 2024 by founder Marc Kobza, who has previously worked with previously worked with agencies in Vienna, Berlin, and London and is a member of the Austrian chapter of the International Advertising Association (IAA).
Kobza+collective will also be supported by the joining entrepreneur Florian Gschwandtner, who joins as a partner and Advisory Board member to strengthen its digital and innovation expertise.
“We are excited to have Florian on board with his expertise and network to expand our strategic offerings and support our clients even more comprehensively,” said Marc Kobza.
Florian Gschwandtner added, “The Kobza name stands for, quality and creativity beyond Austria’s borders. I am delighted to partner with Marc and bring our past positive experiences with the Kobza family to the international stage.”
Marc Kobza highlighted Dubai’s status as a global creative hub as a key reason for selecting it as the company’s headquarters, citing the city’s entrepreneurial energy and access to global talent.
“Last year, Dubai ranked among the top agencies in Cannes and is one of the world’s top 10 most creative cities,” said founder Marc Kobza. “The city exudes a dynamic entrepreneurial energy that attracts talent from around the globe, making it the perfect location for us.”
The agency’s presence in Dubai, alongside connections in Vienna, will also allow the agency to gain access to insights from diverse markets and cater to them individually.
With a client-centric and collaborative approach, kobza+collective aims to bring solutions tailored to the region’s business landscape.
