Maryanne Peacock is the founder and CEO of The Comms Club – a Dubai-based public relations and communications consultancy.
Originally from the UK, Maryanne spent the first few years of her career in London, and in 2013 made the move to Dubai to start a new chapter.
Over the next four years, Maryanne worked in some of the largest agencies in the region including Havas and PRCO, building her network, developing strong relationships with GCC media, influencers and brand partners, and enhancing her knowledge of the local market.
A natural go-getter and networker, in her spare time Maryanne also pursued her passion of writing travel and lifestyle features for various publications, and set up a blog under the name of The Doodle Diaries.
With a wealth of experience under her belt, Maryanne decided it was time to go it alone in 2017 to pursue her dream of doing things a bit differently from the traditional PR agency set-up. She spotted a gap in the market for making the communications industry a more collaborative and communicative space, and The Comms Club was born.
With clients across a broad range of sectors including wellness, hospitality, F&B and luxury real estate to name a few, the reach of The Comms Club has grown over the past seven years with clients in the GCC and around the world.
Maryanne has a passion for delivering excellent results, creating inspiring campaigns, growing existing brands and launching new ones into the market.
A fearless leader and a champion for females and mums who want to have the freedom to work but with flexibility and empowerment, Maryanne has attracted amazing talent to the agency and now manages a team of five.
Maryanne also has her own successful parenting podcast – Mother Tongue – which works in harmony with The Comms Club to support the baby and parenting sector in the GCC.
Maryanne is also a regular contributor to luxury travel and lifestyle publications in the GCC including NEAR+FAR, Destinations of the World News and Harper’s Bazaar Arabia.
