Coverage that reaches the Gulf

PR in UAE & Middle East

Business in the Gulf runs on reputation and relationships, and the press people read there is not the press they read in New York or London. A feature in a US business title does very little for someone whose clients, partners and regulators are in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Riyadh.

Straight answer

What we cover here, and what we do not

We place features across the region, from the national dailies through to the luxury, lifestyle and trade titles. What we sell is a written feature produced to your brief that you approve before publication. We do not sell a journalist's independent decision to cover you, which is a different thing and is not for sale from anyone.

The process

How it works

01

Pick your market

Tell us which region your customers, partners or investors are actually in. That decides the publication, not the other way round.

02

Share your story

A short questionnaire covers your background, what you do and the links you want included.

03

We write your feature

Our editorial team writes the piece and sends it over for review before anything is placed.

04

Approve and publish

Unlimited revisions until you are satisfied. Nothing goes live without your approval.

Reach the people who are actually in the UAE

Tell us your market and what you want to be known for. We will recommend the publications that fit, and say so if none of them do.

Questions

Common questions about PR in the UAE

01

How do you get featured in UAE media?

You pick the publications you want to appear in from our Gulf network, tell us your story through a short questionnaire, and our editorial team writes the feature. You approve every word before anything is published, and we handle the placement with the title.

02

Do you have to live in Dubai to be featured in UAE press?

No. Plenty of the people we place are based outside the region and want to be visible to clients, partners or regulators inside it. What matters to a Gulf editor is that the story is relevant to their readers, not which passport you hold.

03

Which UAE publications can Publisive place features in?

Our Gulf network covers the national English-language dailies including Gulf News, Khaleej Times and Gulf Times, the business and executive titles such as Arabian Business and CEO Middle East, the luxury and lifestyle titles including Harper's Bazaar Arabia, Esquire Middle East and Grazia Middle East, and trade titles across construction, technology, motoring and watches.

04

Are UAE features published in English or Arabic?

The titles we work with publish in English, which is the working language of business across the UAE and the wider Gulf. That is also what makes them useful to you outside the region, since an English feature is readable by your clients anywhere.

05

What is the difference between a secured placement and earned coverage?

A secured placement is a written feature produced to your brief that you approve before it runs, which is what we sell and can commit to. Earned coverage is a journalist independently deciding you are worth writing about, which nobody can sell you. Ask any agency which of the two they are offering.
