Bahraini experiential marketing agency Clockwork has won Gold and Silver at the inaugural Dragons of MENA Awards in Dubai, becoming the only Bahrain-based agency among the winners.
Clockwork’s “Life with Al Salam” campaign for Al Salam Bank won Gold in the Event or Experiential category. Its “BNP Paribas Bahrain Jazz Fest 2025: Building Bridges” campaign received Silver in Nation, City & Place Impact. The agency also earned a Black Dragon commendation for the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship: The Championship Village.
The Gold-winning campaign used bilingual, team-based simulation games at Youth City 2025 to teach Bahraini children aged eight to 15 about saving, spending, borrowing and managing unexpected costs.
The Silver-winning campaign expanded the ninth Bahrain Jazz Fest into a month-long program across the Kingdom. Its 2025 finale attracted more than 15,000 attendees and involved international and Bahraini musicians, cultural partners, schools, local businesses and 31 Bahraini microbusinesses.
The company said the recognition highlights the potential of Bahrain’s independent creative sector to compete internationally. The festival’s 10th anniversary edition is scheduled to run from 1 November to 4 December, ending with a finale at the Royal Golf Club.
