The GCC is one of the world&#8217;s fastest-growing economies and one where numerous public- and private-sector businesses need to build a global reputation.

AI is being implemented across numerous organisations and their workflow, internet and mobile adoption is high and the innovation into applications is rising exponentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which ONE area of comms has seen most emphasis and growth within organisations over the past 12 months (eg corporate affairs, brand marketing PR, public affairs, healthcare comms, or any other) \u2013 and why do you think that is?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sport comms. The number and quality of sport events is growing rapidly with massive investment into hosting F1 races, boxing, golf, tennis and many other sports. The presence of global stars like Ronaldo are helping turn regional sport into international events with a global following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which single channel has become significantly MORE powerful for organisations\/brands over the past 12 months (eg earned, paid or owned media, social media, experiential\/events?) \u2013 and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Events continue to be strong as they blend the authenticity of in-person activity with large experiencial brand engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which single channel has become significantly LESS powerful for organisations\/brands over the past 12 months (eg earned, paid or owned media, social media, experiential\/events?) \u2013 and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Owned media appears increasingly less effective as poor-quality content, low click-through rates and saturation drive away audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is the region taking sustainability more seriously after hosting two COP events in recent years and, if so, plese give a notable, tangible example.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.
