Google search updates and Facebook algorithm tweaks have impacted media businesses heavily and that’s one reason why media businesses in the GCC region have constantly been exploring solutions.

It already generates 35%+ of their total visitors from iZooto and this continues to grow month on month.

“Editors at Erem News are the first to break stories to their readers. With iZooto, we are able to reach out readers faster than ever before – this gives us a competitive advantage,” added Mohammad Aldaghestani, Head of Audience Engagement at Erem Media.
