A small studio that stays on the hook.
Select Creatives is a founder-led digital studio in Dubai. We are deliberately small, we work in Arabic and English, and we still run most of what we’ve built.
Most digital projects fail after they launch
The build finishes, the agency moves on, and what’s left is a system nobody in the organisation can change. We started Select Creatives to close that gap: the team that defines the work designs it, builds it, launches it and then keeps it running.
That shapes how we take work on. We scope in writing before we quote. We build on stacks a client’s own team — or a future vendor — can pick up. And we say no to briefs where nobody will own the thing after launch.
Four commitments we hold to on every engagement
The people who scope it, build it
No sales team handing a brief to strangers. The founder is in the scoping session and stays across delivery.
A written scope before a price
Fixed prices against a documented scope, with change handled openly rather than as a surprise invoice.
Arabic treated as a first language
RTL layouts and Arabic typography designed properly, reviewed in-script, and QA’d before launch — not bolted on.
You own what we make
Code, accounts, infrastructure and documentation in the client’s name from day one. Staying with us should be a choice.
A small core, a deep bench
A permanent core team holds strategy, design direction, engineering and delivery. Around it sits a long-standing network of specialists we bring in by discipline — Arabic content, accessibility, 3D, motion, security review — so a project gets the right expertise without carrying an agency overhead.
Government & cultural bodies
Bilingual public platforms with procurement, documentation and hosting requirements attached.
Institutions & nonprofits
Research and policy organisations that need their published work to be findable and citable.
Design & enterprise teams
Studios and businesses that need an engineering partner who can hold a design standard.
