One – Source launches in the UAE

PR professional Sharon Fernz has launched new marketing and PR agency, One – Source in the UAE. With over 12 years of experience in the PR and marketing industry, Sharon previously worked in India with Lowe Lintas as Account Manager, at Ogilvy Public Relations as Account Coordinator and most recently in Dubai with RSA Logistics as Assistant Manager – Brand and PR. The Dubai-based agency will offer services that include media relations, strategic partnerships, brand sustainability campaigns, copywriting, content creation and concept development to clients across the UAE. The agency will also provide expertise, knowledge, ideas and advice to clients to enhance their brand equity and corporate reputation across the GCC region.

“Giving up a nine to five job to go out alone is a very overwhelming thought, but I have had so much support since I made the decision,” says Sharon. “I strongly believe in the quote ‘you never lose in business you either win or you learn’ – I am very excited to see what the future holds.”
