Gebal Group has been shaping the GCC's public spaces since 1979. Playgrounds at the Burj Khalifa. Yas Island. The Abu Dhabi Corniche. Thousands of civic builds across the UAE, KSA, Oman and Qatar. Trusted by every major municipality and government ministry in the region.

 

And yet, almost nobody outside the industry knew their name.

 

No brand. No digital voice. No SEO. No video. No social strategy. No email programme. No paid media. A company that had earned its place at the very top of its industry — completely invisible online.

 
"Step out from behind the curtain. Own the digital space. Become the most visible outdoor recreation brand in the GCC."

Al Masar Park Khalifa City — Gebal Group

Al Masar Park, Khalifa City — Abu Dhabi, UAE, 2024. Designed, supplied and installed by Gebal Group.

Six pillars. One mission.

This was not a website refresh. This was a category takeover. The AIIMS Global Team built a full-stack transformation across every dimension of Gebal's digital and brand presence — simultaneously.

01
Brand Identity
New visual language, tagline architecture, tone of voice and positioning. Shifted from transactional supplier to category visionary. "Recreation Reimagined."
02
Website Rebuild
Ground-up build of gebalgroup.com as a discoverable, converting, media-rich digital platform. 15+ sector pages. Featured project ownership. Indexed by region and build type.
03
SEO
Structured authority building in the UAE market. Featured project pages that claim and own completed government builds on Google. 122+ keywords indexed.
04
Meta Ads
Paid social across Facebook and Instagram targeting architects, developers, municipalities and education decision-makers across the GCC.
05
YouTube & Video
Channel built from zero. 50,000 subscribers and 2 million views. A B2B infrastructure company became a must-watch authority on outdoor space in the GCC.
06
EDM Overhaul
Full email marketing rebuild. GCC Spotlight press releases. Podcast launch distribution. Industry intelligence, not just a supplier catalogue.

Recreation Reimagined. The homepage that changed everything.

The brief was clear from day one: "Designing and delivering next-gen spaces across the GCC." Every pixel of the new gebalgroup.com was built to own that statement. Here is the desktop homepage design as delivered by the AIIMS Global Team.

50,000 subscribers. 2 million views. From zero.

For a B2B infrastructure company that builds playgrounds for governments, this is genuinely unprecedented. The content strategy, scripting, production and distribution built by AIIMS Group made it possible.

The YouTube channel positions Gebal Group as a regional authority on outdoor space, urban design and community infrastructure — not a supplier. That distinction is everything.

We claimed the builds. Then we owned the search results.

Every major Gebal project now has its own indexed page. When a government ministry or developer searches for a completed park by name, Gebal Group ranks. That's not SEO. That's territory ownership.

A ground-up rebuild. Not a template. Not a refresh. A deliberate digital platform built to convert architects, developers, municipalities and education buyers — with featured project pages that rank for each build by location and name.

The GCC, claimed.

Before this transformation, Gebal's digital presence was UAE-only. The brand transformation and content strategy enabled expansion into every GCC market with active project pages, indexed builds and search visibility. Four service offices. Four regions. All now digitally owned.

The GCC Spotlight. An industry newsletter built from scratch.

Before AIIMS, Gebal had no email marketing programme. No database strategy, no design system, no content rhythm. The EDM overhaul created a full communications engine: the GCC Spotlight press release series, project announcement emails, podcast launch campaigns, and brochure distribution. Every email designed to position Gebal as the most informed voice in the outdoor recreation industry across the Gulf.
