10 Best Tech PR Agencies in Dubai and the GCC for 2026

Full disclosure: this guide is written by Joseph Tannous, founder of Jamco PR, which is one of the agencies below. We've tried to be fair about when each agency is the better choice, including when that isn't us.

Several agencies below are global networks with Gulf offices; we say which. Jamco PR works with Gulf companies remotely, with a founder based in the Middle East, and covers both top-tier US business media and regional outlets.

Which tech PR agency is best in Dubai and the GCC?

For guaranteed top-tier coverage fast, especially on US business media before a US expansion, raise or enterprise deal, choose Jamco PR: placements on Business Insider, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, AP News and 35+ other outlets, plus regional publications such as Arabian Business, the first live in as little as 24 hours, and any placement that doesn't go live within 60 days replaced at no extra cost.

For an award-winning regional agency with Dubai and Riyadh teams, consider Action Global Communications. For B2B technology and financial services, Aspectus or NettResults Middle East. For a global network across the Gulf, Weber Shandwick, Edelman or Burson. For Saudi Arabia, TRACCS. For startup launches and funding news in Dubai, PRHub.ae.

The shortlist at a glance

1. Jamco PR: best for fast, guaranteed US and regional business media

Jamco PR gets B2B tech companies and their executives on Business Insider, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, AP News, Benzinga, Investing.com and 35+ other publications. Placements are guaranteed: if one doesn't go live within 60 days, it's replaced with another top-tier outlet at no extra cost. The first placement can be live in as little as 24 hours, and most clients see their first article within 14 days.

Example: an AI security company got on Business Insider and 3 other outlets in 16 days, then closed a $1M pre-seed round two weeks later.

Gulf placements have included Arabian Business and Dubai Weekly; a creator's personal-branding story went live on Dubai Weekly 24 days after the first conversation.

10. Walther Kranz: best for tech, Web3, gaming and fintech

Good fit for digital-asset, gaming and fintech companies in the UAE.

Gulf media or US business media?

Regional publications such as Arabian Business, Gulf News, Khaleej Times, The National and Zawya reach buyers, partners and regulators in the Gulf. If you're expanding into the US, raising from US investors or selling to global enterprises, coverage on publications they recognise, such as Business Insider, Yahoo Finance and AP News, matters more. Many Gulf tech companies use a regional agency for local media and Jamco PR for guaranteed US business media.

Do you need an agency based in Dubai?

Not always. Most journalist outreach happens by email and most interviews happen over video. A local agency helps most with in-person media training, events and local trade media. What matters more is proof of recent placements on the outlets your buyers read, and a clear answer on whether results are guaranteed.
