Stephan Yannick
Partner & Head of Branding & Marketing Services
Founder of Catalyst Concepts
United Arab Emirates
Stephan founded Catalyst Concepts in 2001. A creative agency offering branding, marketing, PR, website design and content creation services to businesses within the hospitality, F&B, retail and corporate sectors. It was quickly established that there was a clear synergy between the services offered by Catalyst and Spaces to facilitate a seamless transition from brand development and concept creation through to interior design and project delivery. As such, the collaboration between the two entities was born. Stephan now supports our clients from a branding, marketing and messaging perspective to ensure the spaces we deliver are considered holistically and a clear brand identity is achieved both physically and online. In line with our concept of integrating our service offering into one place our clients can benefit from a team that is thinking like one from the inception of the project.
