MENA: A Region Defining Global Transformation

The Middle East & North Africa has emerged as one of the world’s most influential hubs of economic transformation, geopolitical engagement and global investment. With ambitious national visions, rapidly expanding global corridors and major shifts in capital, technology and culture, the region is driving change with an impact far beyond its borders.

For nearly two decades, APCO has been a trusted advisor across MENA—supporting governments, regulators, sovereign entities and global corporations as they navigate complexity, manage transformation and unlock opportunity. Our work blends strategic advisory, public affairs, geopolitical insight, reputation and communication strategy, underpinned by deep local understanding and global perspective.

Our teams are further empowered by Margy, APCO’s adaptive intelligence platform that integrates real-time analysis, sector insight and predictive assessment, helping clients anticipate change, manage risk and build long-term advantage across markets.

APCO in MENA delivers fully integrated advisory services across corporate reputation, financial communications, public affairs, government advisory, climate and sustainability, capital markets, technology and cybersecurity, risk and crisis management, consumer engagement and a wide range of sector-specialized capabilities. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures clients benefit from coordinated insight, seamless delivery and solutions tailored to the region’s evolving priorities.

APCO’s work in the Middle East has been widely recognized, including being named one of PRovoke Media’s 10 Best Agencies in the Middle East (2025) and multiple honors from the PRCA MENA Awards and MEPRA Awards, reflecting our leadership in strategic advisory, public affairs, reputation management and high-impact regional campaigns.
