Founded in 2013, Mariana Wehbe Public Relations is a full-service PR agency based in both Beirut and Abu Dhabi, that delivers standards of a global firm driven by personalized commitment from inception to completion. Focused on culture, design, architecture, and public art, renowned high-profile companies and individuals have come to rely on MWPR for effective event curation and execution, business development, strategic partnerships and media outreach in the Middle East, US, Europe and Asia.
Born in Abu Dhabi and brought up in the United States, Mariana returned to Lebanon as a young adult and started her illustrious career at DHL, one that would last more than 15 years. She then founded her eponymous firm MWPR. The firm has become synonymous with professional excellence and resourcefulness thanks to Wehbe’s strength in linking, networking, and creating strategic partnerships; and is a testament to her perseverance and dedication.
Mariana has curated and executed several prestigious events, including The Art of Dining, McLaren Automotives in Beirut, Vogue Arabia’s first anniversary in Lebanon, and cultural activations such as The Art of Living with Architectural Digest two seasons in a row for Jubail Island Real Estate Developers in Abu Dhabi. She is also credited with acquiring the first and largest public Lebanese art commission for the company.
Following the August 4, 2020 explosion, Mariana co-founded Bebw’Shebbek, a Beirut-based NGO that restores damaged homes. In December 2022 , Mariana founded We Design Beirut, a platform celebrating the city’s design and culture. The first edition was launched in May 2024 with over 170 participants. The second edition is slated for October 2025.
