ITP strives to offer its customers the largest audience in the GCC with the highest engagement levels by adopting a 360 degree approach. ITP Live, which was designed to extend the company's digital footprint as well as enhance its total reach on social media, has four key business areas - the region's largest social influencers' agency, video content creation (ITP Originals), e-games (ITP Gaming) and live events. The ITP Customer division publishes the catalogues, previews and daily show newspapers for all exhibitions organised by Dubai World Trade Centre as well as a host of specialist publications for major retail and financial organisations.
