Middle East Communication Network (MCN), one of the leading advertising and marketing communications agency networks in the MENA region, launched Platform5, a data-driven, integrated services and technology agency that offers key digital support across the MCN GroupÕs UM, Initiative and Magna brands. Platform5 is headquartered at MCNÕs Hive building in Dubai.

Platform5Õs was created by MCN as a response to the increase of devices, channels, touch points and the resultant large volume of data adding new layers of complexity for advertisers.
