A premium discovery platform and editorial magazine connecting elite brands with investors and distributors across the Gulf and Turkey.
In a crowded global market, high-value brands often struggle to find a “shortcut” to credibility. Mercado Bay was conceived to bridge this gap. It is not a directory; it is a Discovery Magazine and Brand Hub designed for the Luxury and Premium segments. The platform’s mission is to provide an elite stage where distinctive brands from Turkey and the GCC can showcase their stories, build authority, and connect directly with decision-makers, investors, and distributors.
Seven Grounds acted as the Strategic Architect for Mercado Bay. We didn’t just design a website; we engineered a “Gatekeeping System.” From the verbal identity and “Luxury Tone” to a robust editorial calendar and a strict 50-point prospect pipeline, we ensured that every brand featured on Mercado Bay carries an implicit seal of trust. By blending professional brand profiles with high-level editorial insights (Spotlights, Guides, and Market Analyses), we transformed a digital platform into a powerful commercial gateway for the region’s smartest innovators.

We moved beyond listings to create a “Magazine Experience.” By producing high-value content like Market Insights, Top-10 Lists, and Brand Spotlights, we established Mercado Bay as a thought leader that buyers and investors actually read.
We implemented a rigorous “Checklist & Pipeline” system. Only brands that meet specific quality and innovation standards are featured, ensuring the platform remains a “Sanctuary of Excellence” for the GCC market.
The platform is engineered for growth. We designed specific pathways for “Submit Your Brand” and “Editorial Appearance” requests, turning readers into participants and brands into premium subscribers.
Focusing on high-growth sectors like Beauty, SaaS, and Innovative Products, we tailored the SEO and content strategy to bridge the economic corridor between Turkey and the Gulf, facilitating real B2B connections.
