FAQ

Why are Middle East markets important?
The market cap of the GCC region alone was $2.9 trillion in 2019, representing a massive and unprecedented economic growth in less than 20 years. Signal presswire is based out of the UAE, where the economy is rapidly globalizing and technology is forcing new opportunities online and offline. Yet until recently, many clients in London, New York, Singapore or Beijing had no real way of accessing clients and readers in the region without often paying significant rates, or depending on personal relationships with publishers.

Signal is a gateway to changing this, opening up the GCC and Middle East to a new PR landscape.


Why do industry professionals use Signal PressWire?
Distribution, cost and speed. Press releases are republished within 24 hours to Al Bawaba Business, with syndication for Pro & Pro+ customers around the Middle East on Al Bawaba’s proprietary ‘SyndiGate’ platform.
