Premium, international and family-focused
Qatar's audience mixes Qatari nationals with a large expatriate workforce, so English works well for many businesses, alongside Arabic. Premium hospitality, retail, education and events are strong categories. Content in English or Arabic; other languages on request.
Doha is home to most of the population, so national campaigns and Doha campaigns are often the same thing. Hospitality, education, healthcare and real estate are common categories for social content.
