Vahid Associates Brand Futurists, a Bahraini firm, has joined hands with top Hollywood producer Stephen Brown to set up a specialised consultancy firm to bring global, cutting edge multi-faceted creative thinking into the region to provide partnership with Hollywood talent.

Executive producer of blockbusters such as "The Fugitive" (starring Harrison Ford), Seven (with Brad Pitt) and Devil’s Advocate (Al Pacino / Keanu Reeves), Stephen Brown flew into Bahrain to seal a business tie-up with Vahid Associates Brand Futurists, said Vahid Mehrinfar, executive principal and chief brand futurist of the firm.

Quoted in the recently launched annual magazine Progress Bahrain 2007-2008, where he features as a guest columnist amongst other leading contributors and commentators, Brown said, “There exists here in Bahrain a sophisticated financial community and the country provides an environment which is highly conducive for launching and managing business opportunities.”    

Mehrinfar added, “It is no longer sufficient for Bahrain to attract big names to elevate its status on the world stage by mere association. Our endeavor is to engage them through both technical and aspirational output for tangible benefits to create compatibility of minds; and this is just the beginning…”

Brown will hereafter be a frequent visitor to Bahrain on business to also take forward an investment program in the Middle East where he will be bringing in experts in specialised areas from Beverly Hills, California in collaboration with Vahid Associates Brand Futurists.-TradeArabia News Service
