FAQ's
Glad you asked! If you grew up in Dubai in the ‘80s or ‘90s, Channel 33 wasn’t just a TV station - it was the Thursday night plan. Hindi movies, home-cooked food, and a little piece of “back home” on your screen. For us, 33 is more than a number - it’s nostalgia. It’s the emotional frequency the South Asian diaspora grew up on. So we took that feeling and gave it a glow-up - welcome to The 33 Collective, where memory meets marketing and culture leads the conversation.
We build campaigns that cut through the noise. Think of us as your cultural strategy partners: we blend influencer and celebrity partnerships with emotionally intelligent storytelling, South Asian market insights, and digital campaigns that actually move people. This isn’t just about getting seen - it’s about being felt. And when your audience feels it, they remember you, trust you, and buy from you. That’s what we mean when we say: we don’t just build awareness - we build belonging.
We partner with everyone from bold new startups and boutique labels to global brands ready to reimagine their cultural relevance. If your audience includes South Asians - or you’re finally realizing it should, then you’re in the right place. If your brand wants to tap into this vibrant, loyal, high-spending community the right way, you’re our kind of people.
Totally fair question. But here’s the truth - most agencies push volume. We push value. We go beyond follower counts and surface-level metrics. Our superpower is context, understanding the emotional, cultural, and social layers that actually influence buying decisions. We curate talent not just for popularity, but for cultural fit and brand alignment. If your current campaigns are getting clicks but no connection, we can help you fix that.
That’s where we come in. We don’t believe in ‘just book a big name and hope for the best’, We take your goals, your tone, your audience, and your budget to align you with creators or celebrities that actually make sense. We’re not just throwing faces at your campaign - we’re building relevance. Whether it’s a cricketer, a content queen, or a niche voice with cult appeal, we find the right fit, not just the biggest following.
Absolutely. We get it - sometimes you want to test the waters before committing. We offer one-off campaign drops, creator collabs, or consulting-led activations. And if you love what we do (spoiler: you will), we can build a longer-term roadmap. Some brands stay for a campaign, others stay for a full rebrand. We’re cool with both, as long as the work slaps.
If you’re investing in influence, make sure it’s the kind that lasts. We don’t just chase reach, we build relevance. Our campaigns create cultural traction, spark emotional connection, and drive real-world results. By aligning your brand with the right talent and storytelling, we deliver engagement that matters and visibility that converts. And with our built-in performance tracking, you won’t have to guess what’s working—you’ll know.
Quite the opposite. South Asians make up one of the most influential, loyal, and high-spending consumer groups in the world. In the UAE alone, they’re nearly a third of the population. Globally, they’re running boardrooms, shaping trends, and building billion-dollar brands. Tapping into this market isn’t “niche”, it’s necessary. And when you speak their language (literally and emotionally), they show up for you - hard.
Culture isn’t a theme we tap into, it’s the foundation we believe in. We approach every brief with a deep understanding of heritage, identity, and emotion - then layer that with sharp strategy, platform fluency, and real-time data. We don’t just tell stories; we tell the right ones, to the right audience, in ways that resonate and convert. Every campaign is designed to feel personal and live far beyond the feed. It’s not about noise, it’s about building brand relevance that actually lasts.
