We want to provide them with global media solutions in their backyard to stem their ever-growing ambition to reach global audience . The region is now a hub of international events such as Expo-2020, FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 to name a few which opens up more opportunities for companies to creatively advertise their business and stand out amongst the competition. We welcome this partnership with JGroup as it will help us reach a new level and enhance our footprint across the Mena and Levant region.”
This partnership will enable marketers to utilise the innovative arms of both companies and strategically reach out to a broader audience ingeniously, creatively and reach markets they had never considered before.
