About APCO in the Middle East and North Africa
Home to some of the fastest growing economies in the world, the Middle East
and North Africa region has a pivotal role to play in driving global
conversations - from environmental policies to religion and pop culture. The
UAE and Saudi Arabia are clear leaders in this equation, although the wave of
innovation continues to transcend borders.
APCO launched its regional operations in ‎2006 in Dubai. Growing from a team of
less than ‎10 consultants, APCO today has over ‎200 people from ‎26 countries
working in teams across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Manama and Kuwait and our
projects take us to countries across the region and the Levant. APCO was
awarded Best Agency in the Middle East by PRWeek in ‎2019 and Best Agency to
Work for: EMEA Network by PRovoke Media in ‎2017 and ‎2019.
With a portfolio of over ‎100 clients, APCO's MENA offices deliver public
relations and digital communication support across health, food, consumer &
retail, finance, technology, real estate & hospitality, non-profit and public
affairs practices. The region also offers specialized services, created for
the Middle East, such as our Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model and our
Compass and License to Operate offerings.
In addition, APCO's global AI Comms Lab, a first-of-its-kind innovation center
which utilizes artificial intelligence to build and protect the reputations of
major global brands, governments and organizations is driven from the Dubai
office.
From helping governments connect with the private sector and civil society, to
supporting the Pope's historic visit to the region and launching iconic brands
and destinations, we understand the nuances of the MENA region and pride
ourselves on making an impact.
