Teesdale's Zine launch Dubai franchise

Teesdale digital agency Zine have launched their latest international franchise in Dubai.

As reported on Bdaily earlier this year, the North East firm intend to roll out a worldwide master franchising programme.

Now, Dubai-based businessman Abu Backer has launched as the first Zine franchisee with two initial clients.

Abu received training at Zine’s Barnard Castle headquarters and will now begin to sell the firm’s digital communications services to customers in the United Arab Emirates.

The web and communications services will be carried out by Zine’s North East team of designers, programmers, bloggers, copywriters and search engine optimisers.

Abu said: “The Zine Franchisee training was a very well structured programme over three days, with active participation by Zine colleagues from different domains of expertise.”

“The training helped me to understand the scope of services, production model and sales process. The management of Zine further motivated me and instilled confidence in me to leverage my strength in sales and interest in digital marketing to provide a smooth transition from the insurance.

“I always wanted to start my own business and I strongly believe destiny took me to associate with Zine, who are a bunch of warm, friendly, hospitable and technically very savvy colleagues.”

Alan Bradley, Zine managing director explains: “We are over the moon to have our first international Franchisee up and running. We’re always seeking entrepreneurs looking for a fantastic business opportunity that simply takes the drive and enthusiasm to quickly make a very successful business. And we certainly have found that in Abu Backer.”

“Demand continues to grow for Zine’s comprehensive digital services and this is the first step in our plans to develop Zine as a global brand. The franchisees feed work to our UK offices, which means investment and jobs.

“The opportunities for franchisees with Zine have never been better – we are going from strength to strength and we offer all a business needs to succeed online.”
