From Olive Advertising to Apostrofo — A Journey of Evolution
Apostrofo, formerly known as Olive Advertising LLC, was first established in the United Arab Emirates in 2008. What began as a small, high-craft design boutique quickly built a reputation for exceptional creativity, reliability, and strategic clarity.
Despite its lean team, Olive consistently delivered results that exceeded expectations – earning the trust of prestigious clients across multiple industries. Over the years, the agency collaborated with renowned organisations including the Government of UAE, Sony, Samsung, Lierac, Dnata, Atom, Spinneys, and several other respected regional and international brands.
Reborn as Apostrofo International - A Consortium for the Digital Era
Building upon this strong foundation, the company has been reimagined and relaunched as Apostrofo — a future-ready brand and digital consortium.
