The house

About us

Firstread Media LLC is an international publishing house and creative agency, headquartered in the Emirates and operating across the Gulf and the United Kingdom.

What we publish

We publish business and lifestyle magazines in print and in digital, read by more than ten million people across the region. Our four titles each serve a distinct readership: Womenpreneur Middle East covers female founders and leadership, Entrepreneurial Arabia follows the founders shaping emerging markets, CEO Weekly UAE carries executive interviews and strategy, and Insider Al Seha is devoted to health, wellness and longevity.

The agency behind the pages

Beyond publishing, Firstread Media works as an advertising and corporate communication agency. We shape editorial features, brand storytelling, campaign design and public relations for founders and brands across the region, carried by the same editorial desks that produce our magazines.

On stage

Our community meets in person at the Womenpreneur Summit, convened from Manama to Dubai, and at the Elite 100 gala, which honours the executives and entrepreneurs our readers follow closest.
