Brief Explanation

The Challenge: To educate the public about Yas Island to drive footfall to it. Our Solution: We built an engaging and informative site that entices users to explore the island and dispels the myth that Yas Island is just a racetrack by showcasing many of the island's completed attractions. We also built an advanced events manager tool for stakeholders to communicate events which has created more cross-selling opportunities. The Results: All pages have been indexed and the site has over 10,000 new visitors per week on average. The Facebook fan page currently has over 2000 fans.
