What a great day!!!
It has been amazing being part of the journey!!!
Since early 2017 when Master Media was proudly chosen as the Media & Broadcast Specialist Consultants to Expo 2020 Dubai, until this historic day when the “Greatest Show on Earth” goes live, I have witnessed history in the making: From the photo I took of the Expo site in 2017 where I could only see the desert sand, a few cranes, and the plans on paper and screens, to witnessing this wonderful campus growing and taking wonderful shape, now full of life, creativity, innovation, and marvellous architecture.
This huge achievement was impossible without the vision of the UAE and Dubai’s leadership who continue to push the boundaries, literally converting the desert into oases, and making Dubai a capital of the world. This vision was realised by the hard and ambitious work of great teams at Expo 2020 and their consultants and contractors. I have met and had the honour of working with some of the greatest minds and most accomplished professionals from all over the world.
I cannot be prouder of our humble contribution to this journey, developing the strategies then advising and helping set up and build the Media and Broadcast operations of Expo 2020.
It may not be possible to mention every one of those who have worked with Master Media on this amazing project, but a few had valuable contributions that should not be missed…

Thank you all…
I should also not forget our friend and colleague Pierluigi Giustina who very sadly and untimely passed away in 2019. May he rest in peace…
Looking forward to seeing you all at Expo 2020 Dubai, the Greatest Show on Earth, over the next 6 months…
