Motivate's book-publishing division meets the needs of all readers. The company's list of more than 250 titles forms the most comprehensive collection of works ever published about the Arabian Gulf; there's literally something for everyone.

The Arabian Heritage Series is a constantly expanding collection of works, conceived by Motivate, which focuses on diverse areas of life in the Gulf, while educating, informing and entertaining readers.

Some of the region's greatest explorers, travel writers and photographers have been commissioned by Motivate to produce books of the highest quality; these include flagship titles by such luminaries as Sir Wilfred Thesiger, Ronald Codrai OBE, Royal Photographer Noor Ali Rashid and Patrick Lichfield.

The company's efforts have been rewarded with numerous prestigious accolades including two Sultan Al Owais Awards for Literature, three IAA-GCC Retail Publisher Awards and the Sharjah Emirates Book Fair Award.

Sponsorship

As part of the books publishing strategy, Motivate offers companies and organisations the chance to sponsor books that contribute to readers' appreciation of life in the Gulf and the traditions that embody the region. In the past, sponsors have taken advantage of this marketing opportunity for a number of diverse reasons: to mark an anniversary, produce a corporate gift, show concern for a particular cause or simply to brand themselves in a powerful, yet subtle, manner.

Sponsors include Emirates, Jumeirah, Dubai Duty Free, The National Bank of Dubai, Philips, BP, Shell, Land Rover, Dubai World Trade Centre, Spinneys, Eppco, Exxon, Toyota and Philip Morris.

Interested parties should contact our General Manager - Adminstration, Urvashi Kadam. It would be prudent to act quickly as book sponsorship throughout the Middle East is an extremely popular marketing tool.

Educating the Youth

Motivate publishes children's books which are both fun and entertaining. But also educate children on the environment, customs and traditions of Arabia.

The range caters for children of various ages. Interactive puzzle and activity books, which involve the whole family and are based on the sights and sounds of Arabia, entertain younger readers while story books attract slightly older children. In an effort to provide the most comprehensive range of childrens books, Motivate works with Walt Disney, Priddy books and, in partnership with Magrudy Enterprises, under the Jerboa imprint.
