January 14, 2016/in Account win, Featured /by Emily Churchill-Owen

Omnia’s PR division will be working with charitable organisation Mawaheb from Beautiful People, in an effort to raise the profile of the charity as an open art studio for adults with special needs. Located in the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, Mawaheb from Beautiful People bridges the gap between society and those with a disability. Through art, corporate workshops and team building events with external groups, the studio integrates its students into the community whilst assisting in the development of life skills, encouraging them to be more independent.

Omnia will assist with the promotion of Mawaheb from Beautiful People’s work; the art exhibitions and events in which they participate, as well as the open studio that allows passersby to drop in. The agency will also work on e-marketing and the launch of the charity’s new coffee and art shops that will be staffed by its students.
