Our Philosophy

Ougarit believes in transparency and fairness in business. We believe that businesses have a right to succeed. With this in mind, we are passionate about the work we do for our clients.

We prefer to partner with clients to build long-term relationships – we are part of their success and they, in turn, become part of ours.

Ougarit's Corporate Social Responsibility policy is as follows:

  • we will not work with cigarette producers or organizations creating products that are harmful to humans, animals or the environment
  • we train new graduates in graphic design and marketing, allowing them to gain as much experience as possible and become professionals in their field
  • we support various local and national charities who focus on health issues (Dunya Center for Female Cancers and Breast Cancer Awareness Events) and business education for young people

Our People

We realize we are in the people business.

For example, we don’t deal only with inanimate products and services, but rather with the people who promote or sell the products and services and, of course, their target audience.

We want you to know what type of people we are – these quick questions and answers show that we are diverse, fun loving, professional and extraordinary people.

We are Ougarit...

Your Needs

Ougarit

Ougarit operates a cost structure that works well for those with a variety of budgets, whether that means emerging companies or established businesses, and has experience of working with a wide range of sectors.

Marketing

Marketing. Communication. Media

As a new business, you may need help to develop your marketing strategy, or as a brand leader, need assistance to roll out a fully fledged campaign. Ougarit can help with all types of projects, large and small.

For example you may need a new corporate identity, a simple redevelopment of a current logo, or a full market research project to discover details of your market share on a national scale.

You may have ideas for a point of sale stand but not know who can develop a prototype, or need advice about how to enter into a new marketplace; if so, our experience and professionalism will ensure you are given the right advice to suit your budget and timescale. We own many billboards across Palestine in premium locations to help our clients reach their target audiences with high impact images on larger scale.

Ougarit is delighted to be the official business partner for Business Focus Productions in Palestine, through Business Focus Palestine magazine.

PR & Communications

Marketing. Communication. Media

It’s all about reputation. It's the result of what you do, what you say, and what others say about you. It is used to gain trust and understanding between an organisation and its various target markets - whether that's employees, customers, investors or the local community.

Our team takes pride in the PR campaigns we develop and aim to meet our clients' needs by paying particular attention to their individual target markets.

With expertise in raising greater awareness of our clients' products and services, our team translates that awareness into brand loyalty and improved sales figures. We work with local and international print and online journalists, and with radio and TV stations throughout Palestine thereby ensuring that your message reaches its various audiences.

We have experience in the full range of PR work: from developing strategies to the implementation of long term PR campaigns; from press conferences to analyst meetings; and from PR for products or corporate organisations to innovative strategies to use social media or develop a strategy for corporate social responsibility.

Creativity

Marketing. Communication. Media

Our team of designers may be young graduates but they have developed a wealth of experience with clients working in different sectors – everything from automotive to fast moving consumer goods; from shopping malls to international organizations; from international hotels to global household brand names.

We have strengths in developing brand identities for new and emerging businesses. We have also developed well-known international brands by applying them to the national market.

The team was instrumental in the strong design that underpinned Palestine’s PR & Communications Conference for 2010 (see Training and Events)

Training

As your training partner, we can provide a range of services – from simply hosting your event and making sure that your delegates are met in a professional way and ensuring quality facilities are used, to developing an extensive training programme for your staff members. Ougarit Group has provided training courses for local and international organizations (private sector, public sector, civil society and national institutions) working with both local and international training partners.

Event Management

Event Management

Managing a successful event takes more preparation than most people realize. It involves everything from developing a brief outline of the training concept, to writing the content to deciding how the day will run. We can also undertake PR activities to publicize your events and ensure that you receive appropriate coverage in the local media and increase attendance.

Palestine PR & Communications Conference 2010
Palestine PR & Communications Conference 2010Palestine’s inaugural PR & Communications Conference in Nablus, November 2010 was initiated and managed by Ougarit Group. Working as lead organization, we developed all documentation, coordinated travel for local and international speakers and managed associated logistics.
Ougarit made sure that the event remained as energy efficient and as environmentally friendly as possible. With over 650 attendees from government, public and private sector, universities, municipalities and the media, the day was deemed a great success with over 350 delegates remaining until the very end of the day.  www.prconference.ps
