Local fit

Why hire a native Emirati op ed writer

Hiring a op ed writer who is actually based in Abu Dhabi changes the work in ways an offshore hire cannot copy. A fast moving, highly digital market with a large expatriate audience. Arabic and English content sit side by side, Ramadan reshapes the calendar, and premium positioning is expected rather than resisted.

Practically, that means your op ed writer writes in the spelling, currency and legal conventions used across United Arab Emirates, references Abu Dhabi and wider Abu Dhabi accurately, works inside your hours so a question does not cost a day, and quotes in AED. Languages on the bench for this market: Arabic, English.
