Today we launched Manara Global, a strategic reputation management and purpose consultancy, headquartered in the UAE. [Manara: Noun; meaning beacon, minaret, source of light]

The globally focused consultancy, founded by Teri O’Donnell (former partner at freuds)  and Robin Gordon-Farleigh (former UK Prime Ministers Office Communications strategist) , brings over 50 years of combined experience gained from advising governments, royalty and some of the world’s largest corporates and individuals.  With the coming together of backgrounds, skills and experiences, Manara Global provides a unique and fresh perspective, combining the best practices from both the corporate, government and purpose related worlds. 

We believe the best reputation management combines convergent and creative thinking and ideas – at Manara Global, we think, we create, we inspire, we originate, we solve, and we care.

Our purpose is to help leaders, businesses, and organisations to thrive, make a difference, and succeed.

Our team bring unparalleled experience from the highest levels of Government and business. We have directly advised Prime Ministers, founders, globally leading CEO’s and boards, and ultra high net worth individuals.

Our team share the passion for making a difference, for inspiring our clients and others in everything that we do, for creating value to our clients, and for helping our clients to realize their ambitions and make a positive impact in the world.

Headquartered in the UAE and operating globally, we always bring energy, global inspiration, local understanding, and creativity to your strategic communications approach.

The outcome of the work that we do, irrespective of scale, will always result in delivering a deep and sustained impact with relevant audiences in how they think, feel, or drive behavior change.
