Abu Dhabi-based communications agency Seven Media has appointed Jack Dignum as Director, reinforcing its leadership team as the agency continues to expand its global footprint.
Strengthening Leadership and Global Presence
In his new role, Dignum will work across the agency’s sport and corporate practices while also serving as Global Network Manager for Seven International, its global division launched alongside the opening of a London office last year.
The appointment comes at a time when the UAE’s professional services sector continues to grow, with firms investing in talent and expanding operations despite global economic uncertainty.
Extensive Regional and International Experience
Dignum brings more than 15 years of experience across the GCC and Europe, with a background in journalism and integrated communications. He has previously held roles at F31 and Four Communications, building expertise across sports, corporate, and lifestyle communications.
As a sports communications specialist, he will lead strategic communications for key clients within Seven Media’s sports portfolio, while also contributing to broader corporate and lifestyle projects.
Driving International Growth
In addition to his regional responsibilities, Dignum will play a key role in coordinating the Seven International network. Working closely with teams in London, he will support the division’s growth and help shape its strategic direction.
“I’m joining Seven Media at a time of strong momentum, with a clear opportunity to further strengthen its international offering,” Dignum said, adding that the UAE remains one of the most dynamic communications markets globally.
Agency Vision and Expansion
Commenting on the appointment, Gregg Fray, owner of Seven Media, highlighted the importance of bringing in leadership that combines editorial expertise with integrated communications capabilities.
“We were looking for someone who combines strong editorial judgment with integrated communications expertise and can deliver real impact for clients,” Fray said, citing Dignum’s international experience and track record in the UAE.
Seven Media noted that its continued expansion, including the launch of Seven International and ongoing investment in senior hires, reflects strong confidence in future growth and market opportunities.
The appointment of Jack Dignum marks another step in Seven Media’s growth journey, strengthening its ability to deliver integrated communications solutions while expanding its global reach.
