The year 2015 was dubbed as the ‘Reviewmageddon Year’ by many due to the large number of creative and media contracts that were up for renewal in the year. Much of this action was taking place by global brands, with an impact over most markets. The Middle East and North Africa region, was in a manner of speaking, shielded from much of the global action. However, the region was not without its own new alliances and agency partners.
