9 Best PR Agencies in Saudi Arabia for Tech Companies (2026)

Full disclosure: this guide is written by Joseph Tannous, founder of Jamco PR, which is one of the agencies below. We've tried to be fair about when each agency is the better choice, including when that isn't us.

Most agencies below are global or regional networks with Riyadh offices; we say which, based on each firm's own announcements and industry coverage. Check current teams and references directly before you hire.

The shortlist at a glance

1. Jamco PR: best for guaranteed US and regional business media

Jamco PR gets Saudi tech companies, and international companies entering the Kingdom, on Business Insider, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, AP News and 35+ other publications, plus regional business media such as Arabian Business. Placements are guaranteed: if one doesn't go live within 60 days, it's replaced with another top-tier outlet at no extra cost, and the first can go live in as little as 24 hours.

Jamco PR works with Saudi clients remotely, with a founder based in the Middle East who works in Arabic and English. Consider another agency if you need government relations, events or a retained team in Riyadh.

2. Edelman: best for large enterprises

Edelman opened its Riyadh office in 2017, and its Saudi site lists 40+ staff across Riyadh and Jeddah. It runs a Middle East technology practice and handles technology clients with regional mandates.

Good fit for large companies that want a global network with a long-standing Saudi team.

3. TRACCS: best for a Saudi-founded regional network

TRACCS was founded in Jeddah in 1998 and runs one of its main offices in Riyadh, with a network of offices across the region.

Good fit for companies that want an agency with deep local roots and Arabic-language media relationships across the Kingdom.

4. Weber Shandwick: best for global campaigns

Weber Shandwick runs its Middle East operation from Dubai, with a Saudi team that handles some of its largest regional clients.

Good fit for multinationals that want one network across the Gulf and global markets.

5. Burson: best for enterprise reputation and public affairs

Burson, formed from the merger of BCW and Hill & Knowlton, has teams in Riyadh and Dubai, including consultants who work with technology clients.

Good fit for enterprises that need corporate reputation, public affairs and crisis capability in the Kingdom.

6. Action Global Communications: best for an established regional agency

Action Global Communications is a long-running regional agency; it relaunched its Riyadh office in 2024 and has been reported as the PR agency for LEAP, Riyadh's technology event.

Good fit for tech companies that want a regional agency with event and launch experience in Saudi Arabia.

7. APCO Worldwide: best for policy and government-facing communications

APCO Worldwide opened a Riyadh office in 2018 and is known for public affairs and advisory work.

Good fit for technology companies whose growth depends on regulation, government partnerships or public-sector buyers.

8. Kreab: best for strategic and financial communications

Kreab, a Swedish strategic communications firm, chose Riyadh for its first Middle East office.

Good fit for companies that need advisory-led communications around investment, transactions or leadership positioning.

9. H/Advisors: best for transactions and investor communications

H/Advisors, the Havas-owned advisory network, was reported to be opening a Riyadh office in January 2026. It is an advisory firm rather than a traditional media relations shop.

Good fit for companies preparing a listing, a major transaction or investor communications.

Regional media or international business media?

Saudi buyers, government-linked clients and partners read regional business media. International investors and enterprise buyers outside the Gulf look for publications they recognise, such as Business Insider, Yahoo Finance and AP News. Many Saudi tech companies use a local agency for Arabic-language media and events, and Jamco PR for guaranteed international and regional business media.

Do you need an agency based in Riyadh?

Not always. Journalist outreach mostly happens by email and interviews by video. A Riyadh-based team helps most with government relations, events, Arabic-language crisis communications and in-person media training. What matters more is proof of recent placements on the outlets your buyers read, and a clear answer on what is guaranteed.
