Founded by industry insider Yasmine Badri, BYSELECT* blends strategy with cultural intelligence to redefine how entities live in the physical world. 

Dubai has a new name shaping the intersection of fashion, culture, and commerce – BYSELECT*, a next-generation a creative consultancy redefining how concepts exist in the physical world.

Born from a desire to reconnect people with experience, emotion, and meaning, BYSELECT* emerges as a counterpoint to the digital noise saturating modern culture.

“In a world where screens dominate, we bring entities back to life, in person, in culture, and in memory,” says Yasmine Badri, Founder of BYSELECT*.

The agency’s philosophy is built on the belief that the most powerful experiences are not defined by spectacle, but by resonance, the kind that lingers long after the moment has passed.


A Bridge Between Strategy and Artistry

BYSELECT* operates where cultural fluency meets commercial precision, crafting environments that live beyond campaigns and evolve into cultural statements.

The consultancy works across five core pillars:

  • Experience Strategy: Translating brand intent into emotional environments.
  • Strategic Collaborations: Engineering partnerships with genuine cultural value.
  • Experiential Launch & Event Design: Turning moments into movements.
  • Cultural Communications & Localization: Helping global entities speak with local nuance.
  • Market Insights & Advisory: Guiding growth through cultural awareness and data intelligence.

“BYSELECT* was built for a generation that craves authenticity as much as aspiration,” Yasmine says. “We help our partners shift from visibility to presence - to exist in ways that are both sensorial and strategic.”

A Decade of Experience, A Future of Emotion


At the heart of BYSELECT* is Yasmine Badri, whose twelve-year career spans across, fashion, and culture with global icons including Dior, Cartier, Loewe under groups such as LVMH, Richemont, and Kering. As well Government entities such as the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism.

Her experience merging storytelling, design, and emotion gives BYSELECT* its defining duality, operational excellence with creative instinct setting a new standard for experiential intelligence in the region.

Redefining Experience for a New Cultural Economy

BYSELECT* reflects the region’s rise as a global hub of creative reinvention.

“The region is no longer just a destination, it’s a mindset,” says Yasmine. “The world’s most forward-thinking leaders are looking here for inspiration. BYSELECT* helps them make that connection in a way that’s emotionally intelligent and culturally fluent.”

As culture becomes the new currency of influence, BYSELECT*’s mission is to create experiences that are not only seen but felt.
