Seaworld Abu Dhabi saw the most significant growth of all UAE brands in Ad Awareness scores for the month of June, according to data from YouGov BrandIndex. The brand was followed by Armani at number two and Dubai Mall at number three, making them our top three Advertisers of the Month in UAE.
Ad Awareness reflects the share of consumers who say they have seen an advertisement for a brand in the previous two weeks, and the difference in scores (highest vs. lowest) for the month determines our Advertisers of the Month.
The recent inauguration of the much-awaited SeaWorld attraction on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, caused a notable 8.1 percentage point increase in the Ad Awareness score for the amusement park, rising from 10.9% on May 27 to 19% on June 24.
