FZCO
SHXFT is a creative technology studio in Dubai. We make the things people point their cameras at: lenses, effects, screens and the content around them.
Led by the former Head of Production at Snap MENA. We know the platforms from the inside.
We build our own hardware. FRXME is our interactive display, so the venue side is never rented in.
Through CNQR Media we work with footballers, so a lens can land on a player's own account.
Six places your audience meets a camera. Each one has its own section.
Lenses for brands, government bodies and players, plus MOMNTS, our own lens shop.
TikTok Branded Effects people play on camera.
AR that opens straight from the phone's browser.
Our interactive display for events, venues and retail.
CGI films for launches and seasonal campaigns.
Snapchat set-up and lenses for footballers.
Selected projects & activations

Government, culture & giga-projects
No ads. No distribution. One wedding.
Super Mukaty Bro, our 8-bit Mario tribute, built for a friend's wedding. Custom characters, custom backdrop, custom score, custom soundtrack. Then 57 million people played it on Snapchat. Hundreds of thousands of shares. A whole genre of fan-made content.
MOMNTS is our own shop for personal filters. Their name, their colours, sometimes their face, on a filter every guest opens on their own phone. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, Ramadan.
The idea: everything we build for brands, made for one person’s day.
Games people play with the front camera, in their own language.
For Visa's Blue Flags campaign: an Arabic personality game. Everyday money habits come up on screen and you tap red flag or blue flag.
For Close Up: pick your toothpaste flavour, then tilt your head to catch it before it falls.
Diriyah, in the palm of your hand.
Every guest at Diriyah's Outernet London event left with a printed card. Scan the QR, aim the camera at the map, and a 3D Diriyah rises out of it.
No app to download. It runs in the phone's browser, so it works for anyone with a camera.
Our own interactive display. Guests play, pose and take the result home on their phone. Made for events, retail and brand activations.
A piece of Diriyah, in the middle of London.
Diriyah asked us to bring their world to Outernet London. We ran five experiences on FRXME displays wrapped in Diriyah's branding.
Guests raced through Diriyah in a body-tracked runner game, then posed for a branded photo they took home on their phone.
Branded to Diriyah. Made for play. Shared on the spot.
Four displays. Three days. MDL Beast's Soundstorm.
An interactive venue map helped VIB guests find their way around the festival. A photo booth sent every photo and video straight to the guest's phone by QR.
Trialled in a hospital lobby.
For five weeks, FRXME sat in the lobby at King's College Hospital, Dubai Hills, giving patients and visitors something to do while they waited.
Starbucks
Sports agency meets creative studio.
SHXFT is part of CNQR Media. CNQR handles the people and the deals. SHXFT makes the work.
We work with footballers on their image, content and commercial partnerships. Social media to sponsors, on the pitch and off it.
+ EUROPE'S TOP CLUBS
For players like Saïd Benrahma, Alphonso Davies and Andreas Pereira, we handled Snapchat onboarding, verification and strategy.
Then we build lenses that carry their own brand, and they post them to their own fans.
Open your mouth, yell, and power up. He posted it to his story himself: 50K+ plays from one post.
A matchday countdown lens for NEOM SC, made in under 48 hours. Benrahma posted it himself: millions of plays within hours.
