Content, audience, and revenue tools built for Arabic-first media at scale

For more than two decades, iHorizons has partnered with media leaders including Al Araby, Qatar News Agency, Fadaat Media, and Al Jazeera. We help newsrooms and broadcasters run faster, publish across channels, and serve Arabic audiences with accuracy and nuance. Our work spans editorial tooling, distribution, audience growth, and data, with clear governance and day-to-day support.
