The appointment to the 300-hectare project, backed by Global Sports and Media Company IMG, follows a multi-agency pitch - highlighting the ability of a Bahrain-based agency to compete on an international level.
Phil Jones, General Managerof Dreamland Golf Club, IMG Golf Management said "In creating the first golf course in Baku, Azerbaijan, we are delighted to have East Innovations' wealth of experience and creativity to provide our members and guests with user-friendly, unique and design-led online access to the club's information. East Innovations were behind the successful website launch of the Royal Golf Club in Bahrain within the Riffa Views community. The Dreamland development here in Azerbaijan mirrors that concept with residential villas and apartments, an 18-hole Dye-designed championship course and amenities, on-site Sabis international school, exclusive shopping mall, and future plans for a luxury hotel. We are confident that East Innovations will be able to present what will be a content-rich site, via an effective and beautiful interface."
Due to officially open later this year, Dreamland Golf Club is a luxury destination; home to a pristine championship golf course and IMG Golf School with two performance studios and 24-bay driving range led by PGA Head Golf Professional Michael Sweenie,premium clubhouse and various fine eateries.
Mark Warman, Managing Director at East Innovations commented, "We are thrilled to build on our longstanding relationship with Phil Jones, and to collaborate with he and his team in Baku on this exciting project for our first commission in the Caucuses. Having worked as the Royal Golf Club's digital marketing partner here in Bahrain from 2008 to 2013, we feel perfectly placed to draw on our agency's experience to ensure that Dreamland's website will be executed to a world-class standard. Our rendition of the Royal Golf Club's website in 2012 listed on 3 independent global award sites, winning the highly commended award at the International Property Awards Arabia for best developer website. Of course, we'll be looking to better this where we can but first and foremost, our focus will be to ensurea positive user experience for all visitors to Dreamland's site."
The primary online platform for many businesses is their official website and for the majority, this represents an anchor for their digital marketing and communications strategy. "With 3 billion active internet users across the globe and worldwide mobile penetration at 51%*, companies must consider how to optimise each and every touch point of their customer's online journey. It's businesses who incorporate digital throughout their organisations, helping to serve customers better, direct business strategy, empower employees and use data to deliver insights and measure impact, who will ultimately definethemselves from their competitors", stated Warman.
"Golf technology has come a long way in the last 10 years, and Dreamland's cutting-edge practice and tuition software and state-of-the-art facilities are at the forefront of such advancement. The Club's website will reflect this, providing users with an online experience that sets the tone for what they can come to expect out on Dreamland's premium golf course".
Three times major winner Colin Montgomerie will host Dreamland Golf Club's opening ceremony in October 2015. With its full website set to launch later this year, start your experience online now at www.dreamlandgolfclub.com
