Public Relations

What good is a Press Release if it’s never published?

We’ve built relationships with all the key online and offline media in the MENA region. From media relations, publicity to stakeholder management, we are driven by the goal of sustained press coverage and make it a priority to have the best contacts in the region.

Our business is founded on long-term relationships and is much more than just mundane stories that yield zero coverage. We create win/win situations for our clients and our media partners. We nurture these relationships and ensure that they are beneficial for both parties. Our client gets their message across and the journalist gets their scoop! Thus we deliver business outcomes by answering the audience’s question ‘what’s in it for me?’

Obviously single-channel communications aren’t as effective as multi-media ones! We can run your campaign across print, broadcast and all the online channels (email, display advertising and social media) to maximize results.

The GCC is our home and be it in Arabic or English, our integrated public relations campaigns will hit your company’s communication mark. So, just ask for more!
