Best Cinema Theatre Chain 2018 - Middle East UA180026
Best Cinema Theatre Chain 2018 - Middle East With a rich legacy of cinema firsts, a passion for movies and a mission to entertain film fans everywhere, today Novo Cinemas is proud to be the largest and most visited chain of theatres in the Middle East. We invited Debbie Brouillet to tell us more about the secrets behind its incredible success.
Share Best Cinema Theatre Chain 2018 - Middle East Since 2014, Novo has been a pioneering entertainment choice offering visitors an unforgettable cinematic experience. Bringing more than movies to the big screen, Novo is committed to providing every community a mix of bespoke entertainment options across a variety of viewing platforms including its indulgent 7-Star VIP theatres, action packed MX4D screens and the largest IMAX with Laser in the UAE and MENA region. Debbie explores the firm’s client centred approach and how this has helped drive the company to the success it enjoys today.
“Here at Novo Cinemas we have a very customer-centric stance, as opposed to a business centric operation. We have built ourselves around our customers and their experiences with us which has resulted in several business opportunities. By looking to the customers to see how we can add more value to their experience, we are better placed to respond by giving them exactly what they want. Listening to our guests truly drives what we offer in each location.
Experience
10 MEA MARKETS / 2018 UAE Business Awards
“Additionally, we have also been rather selective about our partners, first ensuring that their missions are in line with ours, by putting customer needs first. Today Novo is proud to be partnered with Mashreq Bank, Etisalat, Samsung Pay and CocaCola, who all bring value to our partnership and ultimately to our customers. “
Operating in the highly competitive UAE cinema market, Novo has had to innovate and adapt to ensure that it remains at the forefront of the latest cutting edge developments. Debbie explores how the market has changed over the years and how client expectations have continued to grow as a result.
“Innovation is a cornerstone of social and economic development, key to promoting economic growth, increasing competitiveness as well as providing new job opportunities. Crucial to the continued success of organizations in the Middle East, innovation is key to the future of the UAE, the wider region and indeed the global economy. Government initiatives such as UAE Vision 2021 and National Innovation Strategy, Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 and 10X show the careful planning, thinking and support which is going into the UAE’s rapid transition to a knowledgebased economy. “Believing that innovation is the future of human investment, the UAE leadership emphasizes its importance across all sectors through the UAE Vision 2021. That being said, Novo Cinemas has been awarded Best Cinema Theatre Chain 2018 - Middle East & Most Innovative Entertainment Experience – GCC and we intend to continue leading the regional cinema industry towards innovative technologies and cinematic offerings for our customers.
The UAE Business market is widely known for being a first-to-market environment and there will be a race to see how Virtual and Augmented reality will play a bigger part of the cinema entertainment experience. Innovative alternative content strategies are key to creating unique experiences the consumer cannot recreate at home. As the pay TV model rolls out even further in the market and the cost of technology for viewing decreases at home, entertainment solutions must find a way to keep the consumer interested. “With James Cameron researching 3D technology that does not need glasses to experience the entire industry is open to new ways to experience entertainment. The holographic device free future is here and currently being applied and developed across the globe. Novo Cinemas are actively engaging a variety of solutions to see which would be the best fit.
“A core part of the business environment is how to engage the millennial audience as their behaviours are significantly different to those of the previous generations. As they come into their own it is vital they are targeted in the way they would expect. The digital environment for Novo is a key part of this tactic and we are looking at ways to create seamless experiences for them whereby they book online and then show up with everything they need being ready and waiting.” Technology is central to this focus on innovation, and as such Debbie explores how Novo works to constantly utilise the very latest solutions to meet the ever-changing needs of its valued clients.
“State-of-the-art technology including options like virtual reality will be key to this industry evolving and thriving in the future. Offering a variety of in-cinema

- Saudi Arabia work they undertake together. One 2 One Legal LLP in cooperation with Mohammed A. Al-Aqeel Law Firm, aims to provide its legal services in a manner that builds trust with its esteemed clients. Navigating the legal framework of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires competent and commercially astute legal advisors. Now more than ever before there is a need for legal advisors to be able to provide and manage legal services which are tailored to daily business requirements of the client as opposed to offering a one size fits all solution. Siraj explores how his firm works to provide this thanks to its vast legal industry expertise and knowledge.
“Here at Mohammed A. Al-Aqeel Law Firm and One 2 One Legal LLP, we are effectively one firm, our approach is to provide an absolutely seamless service to clients in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which focuses on understanding your needs and objectives. We take the time to get to know our clients, their business and their goals and then tailor our team and approach to their preferences. In short, we care about our clients and will deliver a tailored service underpinned by integrity and honesty. “While based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, our work is often international in nature and we have a number of international law firms with whom we work based on the particular needs of our client, you. Where
international legal assistance is required, we will work alongside our clients to find the best partner based upon their requirements and scope of work.” Over recent years economic worries have led many clients to reduce spending and become more aware of the costs they have to pay when undertaking the engagement of legal counsel, and as such the firms both work to ensure that they are providing clients with a solution that is both high quality and value-for-money, as Siraj highlights.
“There has been a slowdown of the economy over the last few years, this has created an environment where most people are looking to cut spending, an obvious area for businesses is reduction of legal spend. For us we have seen our clients even more resilient in their trust of our value to them and whilst we help them navigate the economic reality, we are going from strength to strength. This is thanks to our exceptional services and commitment to ensuring that our clients receive value when they work with us.
In his concluding comments Siraj outlines how his firm will continue to flourish as it seeks to expand and build upon its current success.
“With regards to the future, our focus is on stability and growth,
and we are set to double our office space within the next 12 months. At the same time, we are keen to continue to offer our clients the same exceptional quality service that they have come to rely on.”

“As our reputation grows, we are getting far more quality of work, the economic slowdown has really focussed the markets need of a firm such as ours – no devaluation of the work quality but viable economic that the clients really appreciate. Fundamentally, our clients appreciate the value they get from our firm.”
