Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
One of Bahrain’s top publishing companies has launched the first dedicated pan-GCC online news network and digital business communities.
Al Hilal Group, GulfWeekly and the Gulf Daily News’ parent company, has expanded its Gulf Digital News brand – providing bespoke news content to audiences in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar.
It follows the successful re-launch of the GDN website www.GDNonline.com in June and provides a targetted local news service for each GCC country, in addition to latest regional and international news.
The group has also rolled out 11 editions of its Arabian Business Community (ABC) portals with four UAE editions, three for Saudi Arabia and editions for Kuwait, Qatar and Oman, following the successful launch of ABC Bahrain last year.
Audiences can access ABC databases through the GDNonline site, which also allows readers to select their GCC country of preference.
“The launch of the second phase of our integrated digital strategy sees us working with a total of 22 websites and portals, which have all been integrated into a seamless online platform designed to leverage from the extensive publishing assets within our group,” said Al Hilal Group managing director Ronnie Middleton.
“This includes daily, weekly and monthly print and online publications, websites and marketing databases. We now offer the most comprehensive local, regional and international coverage of community and business news with the region’s first pan-regional series of interactive, interlinked marketing databases designed to proactively support the business communities in each of the GCC countries and across the Arabian Peninsula.”
