Marketing & Advertising Agency in the UAE for Saudi nationals

Digital marketing, social media management, advertising, branding and PR services

As a rule, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Ajman Media City deserves a close look for its specialised media licences and simple renewal process. Ajman Media City issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Saudi-UAE trade is the largest intra-GCC flow, and many Saudi groups use Dubai as a regional and international base, which gives Saudi entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Media City licence is issued. Day to day, media free zones such as Ajman Media City and Shams were built for this activity and price it competitively. Influencer and content-creation work in Dubai also requires the UAE Media Council advertiser permit.
