The move comes in line with the growth of Saudi-Bahraini relations, particularly in non-oil sectors such as education, tourism, healthcare, real estate and retail. This opens up new opportunities for companies operating in the communications field to support national development plans and enable both public and private entities to build effective communication with their target audiences. In turn, this contributes to the development of the communications landscape in the Kingdom of Bahrain and keeps pace with the growth of various economic sectors, says the consultancy.

Integrated Communication Solutions

Through this expansion, the Saudi company will offer integrated communications solutions that blend deep cultural understanding with global standards. Operating through its new hub in Bahrain, W7Worldwide will provide services including multi-market media campaigns, specialised reputation and crisis management, corporate identity development, digital public relations, corporate communications, ESG communications and public affairs, says the consultancy.

"Strengthening our presence in Bahrain is a natural extension of our vision to present a strong Gulf voice on the global stage. We are not newcomers to the Bahraini market, but long-term partners committed to enhancing the communications landscape in the Kingdom," says Abdullah Inayat, Director at W7Worldwide.

He adds, "Bahrain's attractive investment environment, its geographic location that positions it as a gateway to Gulf markets, along with the growing demand for specialised communication services — all together provide an ideal foundation for expanding our operations in the region and enhancing our professional impact."

Expanded Operational Network

The move to reinforce its presence in Bahrain comes through a strategic partnership with Riyara, a Bahraini company with international registration in Florida, USA, Assam, India and a wide network of relationships extending to Italy and China, says the consultancy.

Operating in Bahrain since 2020, Riyara offers a range of services including media, contracting, import and export. This portfolio aims to enhance the partnership's ability to serve multiple sectors in the local and regional markets, adds the consultancy.

Local Communication Expertise

W7Worldwide aims to have a track record of executing successful communication campaigns for government entities, international and regional organisations and global brands. The company has received awards at  the regional and international levels, says the consultancy.

The company is known for its excellence in research and specialised studies on public perception, its development of data-driven communication strategies and its understanding of local culture. It also aims to display capabilities in crisis communication management and to offer advanced digital and creative services, including social media marketing and content development, all in alignment with the global standards in communication, adds the consultancy.

A Future Vision

Through this collaboration, both companies aim to establish a creative platform for impactful communication experiences and to develop integrated offerings that can enhance the competitiveness of the Bahraini market, positioning it as a key center for communications growth in the region, says the consultancy.

This new presence of the Saudi company in Bahrain aims to mark a significant step beyond geographic expansion — it aims to be a creative hub for innovation and thought leadership, reinforcing its ambitions to be a strategic regional partner with a global vision, concludes the consultancy.
