Media – Communicate Online https://communicateonline.me Thu, 24 Jul 2025 08:26:26 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.2 https://communicateonline.me/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/cropped-favicon-32x32.png Media – Communicate Online https://communicateonline.me 32 32 Deed Launches Digital Platform Allowing Anyone to Invest in Dubai’s Residential Property Market https://communicateonline.me/news/deed-launches-digital-platform-allowing-anyone-to-invest-in-dubais-residential-property-market/ Thu, 24 Jul 2025 08:26:24 +0000 https://communicateonline.me/?p=21685 Deed, a DIFC-licensed and DFSA-regulated platform, has officially launched to the public. Deed allows anyone, anywhere in the world, to invest in income-generating residential properties in Dubai by purchasing fractional shares starting from just AED 500.

Until now, investing in Dubai’s booming property market meant large upfront capital, complex paperwork and often being physically present. Deed removes all of that and with just a few clicks, users can register, verify their identity and start investing in handpicked, professionally managed properties, all within minutes.

Once you have invested, you can now receive monthly rental income from your share and benefit from the appreciation once the property is sold where any capital gains will be distributed amongst the investors. From browsing properties to making your investment, the process is 100% digital and can be done from anywhere in the world.

Whether you’re investing AED 500 or AED 50,000, Deed offers access to one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets without borders, stress, or large capital requirements. Thousands of users joined Deed’s waitlist during its soft launch, reflecting the growing demand for modern, accessible wealth-building tools. Now, with the public launch, anyone can get started.

Real estate has long been a cornerstone of wealth-building, especially in a prime and surging market such as Dubai, but for many it has felt out of reach. Deed changes that by combining smart technology, professional property management, and robust financial regulation to offer a truly accessible alternative allowing anyone to invest in one of the world’s most appealing and continuously thriving markets.

Power League Gaming Launches FUZE: The Definitive Platform for Brand-Creator Collaboration in Gaming, Tech, and Beyond https://communicateonline.me/news/power-league-gaming-launches-fuze-the-definitive-platform-for-brand-creator-collaboration-in-gaming-tech-and-beyond/ Wed, 23 Jul 2025 06:43:34 +0000 https://communicateonline.me/?p=21669 Power League Gaming (PLG), the MENA region’s leading esports and gaming agency, is thrilled to announce the official launch of FUZE, a next-generation influencer marketing platform revolutionising how brands and creators collaborate in the digital age.

Following a successful test launch on 1st June, FUZE is now publicly available – combining intelligent search engine with human-led campaign support to help creators and brands build high-performing partnerships with clarity, speed, and measurable impact. Recent insight into regional gaming behaviours shows that nearly 69% of UAE gamers and 63% of KSA gamers take action after encountering an influencer ad, and 74% of UAE gamers and 71% of KSA gamers say influencer-led content influences their purchase decisions. With over 170 million gamers across the MENA region, these insights highlight the growing demand for structured, scalable, and authentic collaborations — the exact gap FUZE was created to fill.

Designed by a team of gaming and tech industry experts, the platform was built to address the complexities of today’s influencer landscape in the region, where inefficiencies and mismatched collaborations often get in the way of authentic storytelling and real ROI – while giving both brands and creators the transparency, control, and speed they need to make informed decisions in today’s fast-paced digital world.

As a fully cloud-based solution, FUZE allows brands and creators to connect and manage every aspect of their campaigns in one seamless interface. At its core is an intelligent search engine that analyses creator profiles, audience data, and brand goals to deliver optimal campaign matches — removing the guesswork and wasted time from influencer discovery.

FUZE is already enabling emerging and top-tier creators to land meaningful collaborations with leading names in gaming, fashion, technology, and lifestyle.

The platform is free to join, with no onboarding or subscription fees. Brands can launch and manage campaigns in one place, monitor real-time performance, and access transparent reporting dashboards. Meanwhile, creators retain full control over their brand partnerships, communications, and deliverables — with FUZE facilitating everything from negotiations to logistics.

As a proprietary Power League Gaming platform, FUZE represents a major milestone in the gaming agency’s broader mission to fuel the creator economy and bridge the gap between regional talent and global brands. It reflects Power League Gaming’s commitment to investing in infrastructure that empowers content creators and delivers real impact while helping brands reach audiences more authentically and effectively — whether through hyperlocal voices or large-scale cross-market campaigns.

Saudi Arabia’s First Enterprise Data Management Platform https://communicateonline.me/news/saudi-arabias-first-enterprise-data-management-platform/ Tue, 22 Jul 2025 04:21:26 +0000 https://communicateonline.me/?p=21656 Governata, Saudi Arabia’s first enterprise Data Management Platform, has officially launched to provide Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven solutions in data governance and decision-making for both the public and private sectors. It unveiled its first product as a pioneering Saudi-made data governance enterprise software specifically designed in the Arabic language for local organisations to comply with national data regulations while leveraging data as a strategic asset with the power of machine learning and Generative AI. Plans to implement the overall AI-driven enterprise decision-making platform for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are also underway.

Governata is currently the first and only Saudi-made Arabic solution that allows local entities to comply with the government’s data regulations, as it is built to align with the requirements of the National Data Management Office (NDMO), National Data Index (NDI) and Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) by The Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA). It also enables firms to monitor compliance as well as protect and classify data, thereby seamlessly streamlining the construction of a solid data foundation within the complex data governance landscape and preparing organisations for appropriate Generative AI adoption.

Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Digital Future

The platform is led by three dynamic professionals with complementary skill sets. Djamel Mohand is a serial entrepreneur with experience across investment advisory and a track record of scaling multiple technology startups in the region, including Foodics – a leading MENA food tech company. Jehad Senan is a data analytics and governance field veteran whose experience spans leadership across global advisory firms with practical insights. Finally, Khalid Almudayfir is an accomplished data scientist who has worked with the public and private sectors and led innovative and robust national data governance and AI frameworks.

Bringing Innovation to Data Governance

Governata has redefined data governance with AI to automate data discovery, quality and personal data for faster implementation. Key features of its first data governance software include: Intuitive Arabic-Friendly Interface, Automated Compliance Tracking, Personal Data Protection, Data Catalogue and Classification, Data Quality and Data, Users and access management.

Additionally, the platform’s data governance solution provides stable fundamentals that empower both public and private enterprises to transition confidently into an AI-driven future.

Further to its unique software products, Governata offers consulting services for data governance and management tailored to meet the requirements of the NDMO, and continued training for its success. In line with Vision 2030, this will introduce much-needed convenience to digitise national data offices and empower staff to focus on higher-level tasks.

The platform also has global aspirations and will release new products on top of its foundational data governance software, including a unified AI-driven enterprise decision-making platform for the MENA region.

Rather than following the traditional agency model of subdividing by practices, the Dubai-born independent PR & Influencer Marketing agency has prioritized synergy and authenticity by creating four themed divisions that unite brands and team members who share common approaches to storytelling.

Gambit Pulse is focused on trends, disruption and passion, for brands that live in momentum and thrive on urgency, relevance and creative heat; Gambit Sage is the corporate, consultancy and sustainability division that offers calm, gravitas and strategic thinking, while Gambit Atelier is the fashion, culture and entertainment department that brings a studio mindset to a pop-culture world. Finally, Gambit fwd powers the industries and visionaries defining tomorrow in technology, property, mobility and innovation.

The divisions have been supplemented by a 26-person hiring spree that includes 21 new additions since the start of the year, and five more set to join before the end of the summer, to take the agency size to 50 full-time team members.

To help the teams live their ethos, Gambit has invested in two exciting new office spaces. The Gambit Pulse HQ is a purpose-built, fully-owned office space for the freshest young talent in the region to innovate, create and disrupt, while the Gambit Boutique is a bespoke fashion atelier designed to host, create content, and display clients’ brands. These line up alongside Gambit’s existing HQ which has been refurbished, to create a thriving 4,000 sq ft total premises.

Since the start of the year, Gambit have grown their multinational client roster with major tender wins including Samsung, Property Finder, Majid Al Futtaim’s Lifestyle portfolio featuring LEGO, lululemon, Crate & Barrel and more, The Red Sea International Airport in Saudi Arabia, and the global viral phenomenon FIX Dessert Chocolatier – the original Dubai Chocolate.

The agency’s powerful momentum sees them concurrently holding five agency of the year titles, following a successful 2024 where they picked up a total of 36 major awards.

Gambit Communications handles a range of multinational brands including Samsung, Uber, Acer, BMW, Amazon Payment Services, Majid Al Futtaim, Essilor Luxottica and more.
