Dubai Press Club Empowers Arab Youth as Second Arab Podcast Programme Launches
Launched on July 7, the programme is hosted at the Dubai Press Club and led by certified Podeo trainer Charbel Issa. It delivers hands-on training across eight core modules, covering everything from content strategy and branding to recording techniques and audience analysis.
Participants—primarily Arab youth—have shown strong engagement during the inaugural week, reflecting the growing appeal of podcasting as a creative and accessible media platform. The sessions provide a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical application, enabling attendees to develop and refine their own podcast projects.
Maryam Al Mulla, Acting Director of the Dubai Press Club, highlighted the programme's goal of fostering high-quality Arabic content that resonates on a regional and global scale. She noted that the initiative plays a key role in giving young Arabs the tools to express themselves in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Stefano Fallaha, CEO and Founder of Podeo, praised the initiative for aligning with efforts to elevate Arabic audio content and help creators monetise and distribute their work effectively.
As the programme progresses, participants will pitch their podcast ideas and receive tailored feedback from regional podcasting professionals. The initiative is part of the Dubai Press Club's broader mission to position the city as a driving force in the modern Arab media industry.

MBRF organizes interactive seminar in Egypt attended by prominent journalists and media figures
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) held a seminar to introduce the 'Documenting the Legacy of Sheikh Rashid' project. This project aims to document the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum's pivotal role in Dubai's development and his significant contributions to key sectors, including the economy, education, tourism, and healthcare. The seminar took place at the headquarters of Akhbar El-Youm Publishing House in Cairo, Egypt. The seminar was held in the presence of His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, alongside a distinguished group of senior journalists, media professionals, and university professors from Egypt. The session was moderated by Dr. Khaled Azab, who highlighted Dubai as a center of intellect, knowledge, and cultural progress, rather than just a city known for its skyscrapers. H.E. Jamal bin Huwaireb said: 'We are deeply proud of Dubai, its heritage, its history, and its enduring legacy, which reflect its continuous journey of development and modernization across various fields since the honorable Maktoum family took leadership. Today, Dubai is a thriving hub for trade and entrepreneurship, and it hosts the region's largest international exhibition center. At MBRF, we find inspiration in the vision and achievements of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum and remain dedicated to the path set by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, whose leadership continues to propel nation-building, comprehensive progress, and sustainable development.' During the seminar, Mahmoud Bassiouni, Editor-in-Chief of Akhbar El-Youm, highlighted the journey of the late Sheikh Rashid while acknowledging Dubai's tangible achievements. Meanwhile, Dr. Mohamed Afifi, Professor of History, noted that Dubai is a historic place that has transformed into an industrial city. He also suggested establishing a chair named after the late Sheikh Rashid at one of Egypt's universities. Furthermore, Dr. Mohamed Showman, Dean of the Faculty of Media and Mass Communication at El Shorouk Academy, suggested creating a drama that depicts the life of Sheikh Rashid. Dr. Mohamed El-Baz emphasized the importance of sharing Sheikh Rashid's lasting legacy with future generations through an exclusive documentary series. Meanwhile, Dr. Mahmoud Hussein, known as the Dean of Translators, highlighted the value of applying Sheikh Rashid's approach in youth development to enhance their skills and foster a sense of belonging to Dubai. The seminar wrapped up with remarks from journalist Mohamed Kandil, famously known as the 'Sinbad of Journalism,' who shared his impressions of Dubai from his first visit in 1995. He expressed great admiration for the city's impressive achievements, calling it the 'Arab Hong Kong.' He also hoped that other Arab cities would follow Dubai's example in reaching success, development, progress, and prosperity.

The price of influence: Why bartering needs a rebrand in the GCC
I sat across from two female powerhouses in the Gulf Cooperation Council's (GCC) influencer marketing field, and one thing was clear – brands need to stop thinking of bartering as a budget hack and start treating influencers like true partners. Shifting influence With Saudi Arabia's average age at just 29 and more than 60 per cent of the Arab region's population under 30, the Gulf is a vibrant playground for youth-driven, creator-led content. GCC consumers crave content that resonates with their values, their families and their aspirations, not globalised campaigns that miss the mark. Currently, we're witnessing a seismic shift in marketing budgets – 76.5 per cent of CMOs are actively reallocating funds from traditional and other digital channels towards influencer marketing. This isn't a momentary fling; it's a transformation. #HardFacts Bartering in influencer marketing In a region where social media doesn't just thrive – it dominates – barter arrangements remain surprisingly common. According to a 2024 report from Influencer Marketing Hub, 28.2 per cent of brands in the Gulf still engage in barter-based partnerships. So, here's the question – if an influencer typically charges AED 2,000 for a post, why are we still offering a goodie bag in return? Does that make sense? For many brands, it still does. In the UAE, 59 per cent of brands allocate up to AED 250,000 annually for influencer marketing, yet over a third still prefer barter-based deals. As smarter ROI tools and audience analytics become more accessible, when will this paradigm shift? Influencer marketing is no longer a novelty; it's an essential brand touchpoint. The way we structure partnerships, especially barter deals, urgently needs to evolve. Last week, I sat down with influencer experts Nourhan Khalifa and Reem Haddad – part of MSL's PR & Influencer practice, led by Mary Smiddy – who know this landscape intimately. Our conversation kept returning to one word: value. Bartering isn't dead – but it needs a rethink Let's be clear—there's a place for bartering in influencer marketing. MSL's PR and Influencer practice recommends focusing on several key points: Value Alignment: The product or experience must accurately reflect the influencer's rate and relevance. Offering a product worth AED 150 to an influencer whose content typically generates AED 5,000 in engagement undermines the value of the partnership. Clear Deliverables: Define content formats, posting timelines and tagging expectations upfront. No grey areas—no assumptions. High-Quality Offering: If you're not offering payment, present something exceptional. Think exclusive experiences or limited-edition releases—not throwaway samples. Mutual Exposure: Ensure it's worth their while. Offer brand visibility, reposting support, or opportunities for future paid collaborations. Limited Availability: Position the opportunity as curated and exclusive. The barter should feel selective and thoughtful, not merely transactional. No Additional Costs: Influencers shouldn't have to cover expenses for your brand's exposure. Delivery, travel, props—it's all on you. Performance Follow-Up: Treat barters like a professional collaboration. Track performance, provide insights and nurture the relationship. The missed opportunity: Nano-influencers Mary Smiddy, Business Lead, MSL Consumer PR and Influencer practice, suggests that the best barter partnerships often happen with micro and nano influencers, especially when they're just starting out. At this stage, they genuinely appreciate meaningful collaborations with brands they trust, making it a win-win for everyone. The MENA region is home to over 13.2 million nano-influencers – but their potential remains largely untapped. Globally, nano and micro-influencers are prized for their authenticity and unparalleled engagement rates. Yet in the Gulf, the tendency to favour mid-tier and mega-influencers persists despite evidence showing that smaller creators cultivate deeper and more trusted connections. Necessary legalese An important note when considering barter deals is that many GCC markets now require influencers to obtain commercial licences for all collaborations, including barter arrangements. These licences come with fees, paperwork and renewal cycles, which ultimately push influencer rates higher. Brands that overlook this reality risk more than bad PR—they risk legal liability. First-party influence in a cookie-free world With the impending death of third-party cookies, brands are scrambling for alternatives. Influencers are the solution hiding in plain sight. These creators offer first-party psychographic data – insights into what people feel, trust and desire. It's a level of intimacy no algorithm can replicate. But you don't unlock that value with a smoothie bowl and a smile. You access it with respect, reciprocity and a long-term vision. The bottom line The barter model isn't broken. It's dangerously misunderstood. In the right context, with the right influencers and a strategic approach, bartering can be a gateway – not a shortcut. It's time for brands in the GCC to stop seeing bartering as a budget-saving tool and start treating it as a relationship-building strategy. Influencer marketing doesn't begin with transactions; it begins with trust. And trust—isn't that worth far more than a freebie?
