Dubai PR & media, FAQ
How do I get featured in Dubai news?+
Two ways. You can hire a Dubai PR agency on a monthly retainer and hope they land coverage, or you can place earned editorial directly with Dubai outlets through Essentras. You pick the outlets, see the price and turnaround before you commit, we write the piece to the outlet's standard, and it goes live. No retainer, no minimum, pay per placement.
How much does a Dubai PR agency cost?+
Traditional Dubai PR firms typically charge $4,000 to $15,000 per month on a 3 to 6 month minimum, whether or not they land coverage. Essentras is priced per placement instead: you see the exact cost of each Dubai outlet in the marketplace with a money-back guarantee if we don’t publish. For most founders and businesses that is a fraction of an agency retainer.
Do I need a Dubai PR agency to get Dubai coverage?+
No. The agency's value is its outlet relationships, and that is exactly what our marketplace gives you directly: vetted Dubai and regional outlets, transparent pricing, guaranteed placement. You get the coverage without the retainer or the long contract.
How fast can Dubai coverage go live?+
Many Dubai outlets turn around in a few business days, and some offer same-day. Each publisher lists its turnaround in the marketplace, so you can sort for speed when an announcement is time-sensitive.
Which Dubai outlets can you place in?+
We work with Dubai and regional outlets across our network of 1,500+ vetted publishers. Browse the marketplace, filter to the region, and you will see each outlet's authority, audience, price, and turnaround before you order.
