FMDQ Group and FAR to launch daily broadcast of live Africa financial news
FMDQ Group and Frontier Africa Reports commit to promote greater visibility of African markets, its companies, investments, finance, business and the economies. FMDQ Group, Africa's first vertically integrated financial market infrastructure group, has formalised a cooperation agreement with Frontier Africa Reports (FAR) to advance education and awareness around African financial markets. The two organisations signed off on the partnership, marking the next stage of a six-year relationship aimed at delivering comprehensive financial and business news across the continent. Under the agreement, FAR will produce and broadcast pan-African market coverage and related programming live from FMDQ Group's in-house studio facilities in Victoria Island, Lagos. This collaboration is designed to support informed engagement with Africa's capital markets, spanning equities, debt, currencies, derivatives, venture capital, commodities, and more. Speaking at the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, Kaodi Ugoji, Group Chief Operating Officer of FMDQ Group, emphasised the company's confidence in the experience and professionalism of the FAR team, led by CEO Boason Omofaye, a veteran financial news journalist. Ugoji noted that FAR's use of the broadcast facilities would deepen investor knowledge, increase public awareness, and create a dynamic platform for issuers, trading firms, and other market participants. Boason Omofaye, Chief Executive Officer of Pure Language Communications Limited—the operator of Frontier Africa Reports—highlighted that the partnership provides a strong foundation for delivering extensive live audio and video programming, including market news, interviews, and analysis. He stressed that the content will strive to cover every African economy, market, and institution, aligning with the objectives of the African Exchange Linkage Project (AELP). This initiative, led by the African Securities Exchanges Association and supported by the African Development Bank, aims to integrate markets across the continent. Frontier Africa Reports plans to launch its first live market-focused broadcasts from the FMDQ studios in mid-July, streaming via its YouTube channel, website, and social media platforms. Additional programming, including the Frontier Africa Radio podcasts, is scheduled to follow.

The Abu Dhabi flying taxis have started testing in the UAE
It's time to get excited – Abu Dhabi flying taxis are coming in faster than you can say 'takeoff'. Just a few weeks ago, the Abu Dhabi Aviation Group announced a strategic collaboration with Archer to deploy its first eVTOL aircraft, Midnight, from Abu Dhabi. And now? Tests in the UAE have officially begun… The Abu Dhabi flying taxis have flown in Abu Dhabi Archer, the company responsible for the Abu Dhabi flying taxis, have announced that they have had their first test flight in Abu Dhabi. Before flying in the UAE, the aircraft was successfully tested in California – and you can actually see the whole video on YouTube. So when will the Abu Dhabi flying taxis be operational? Test flights of Midnight have begun. These will check the impact of the UAE's extreme summer temperatures on the aircraft and within the cabin before the flying taxi services officially launch. The Archer team have also scoped out potential routes in Abu Dhabi. Talib Alhinai, UAE general manager at Archer, told Time Out Abu Dhabi: ''We flew over Abu Dhabi for a route assessment for Archer's upcoming electric air taxi service launch in Abu Dhabi. We were focused on understanding the real customer experience. What would these routes look like? How would travellers see our city from this new perspective? The views are incredible. You're not just travelling, you're getting a completely new way of seeing Abu Dhabi.' Check out the amazing views below in footage supplied by Archer – they weren't wrong… Previously, Archer Aviation's chief commercial officer Nikhil Goel told Forbes: 'There are hundreds of cities that want air taxis. Abu Dhabi will be first, and that will be a lighthouse to the world to say, these air taxis are safe. From there, I hope that we can build the centre of the Middle East here and from that, you've got other countries across the Gulf Cooperation Council.' How will the Abu Dhabi flying taxis work? Archer's Midnight eVTOL aircraft will be able to carry up to four passengers, plus a pilot, at speeds of up to 241 km/h. For instance, you'll be able to get from Abu Dhabi International Airport to Emirates Palace in just 5 to 8 minutes – an upgrade from the typical 45-minute car ride. They're also fully electric and can operate back-to-back flights with minimal charge time in between. Credit: Archer How much will a flying taxi journey cost? While nothing is confirmed yet, Archer's CCO Nikhil Goel revealed potential prices in an interview with The National, saying it will be priced 'similarly to an Uber Black or a premium town car'. Inner city flights in Abu Dhabi : Dhs300 – Dhs350. : Dhs300 – Dhs350. Abu Dhabi and Dubai: Dhs800 – Dhs1,500. 'And then over time when we make our operations more efficient, our goal is to be comparable to the price of a taxi or an Uber', Nikhil Goel added. We're keeping a close eye on all the Abu Dhabi flying taxi updates, so stay tuned. Living in the UAE When is the next public holiday? Here's when you'll have your next day off 5 unexpected Emirates ID perks you should seriously be using And yes, they all make our lives a little bit easier 12 brilliant day trips from Abu Dhabi for when you need to escape the city And some of them are free

What makes a good ad? Cultural intelligence, for one
Too many brands speak the language of performance but forget the dialect of their audience. In a region such as the Middle East, where history breathes through every alley and identity is stitched into the rhythm of life, brands that localise are not just advertising – they're building belonging. This can make all the difference to whether a campaign fails or succeeds. This region is not a monolith. The Gulf is not the Levant, Saudi Arabia is not Egypt and there is no single cultural code can unlock the heart of the Middle East. When brands try to shoehorn this market into a global template without giving it a local soul, the campaign falls flat. At best, it is ignored. At worst, it is rejected. The data is clear. According to Astute Analytica's latest Mena digital advertising forecast, digital ad spends in the region reached $5.5 billion in 2022 and are projected to hit $7.9 billion this year, driven by mobile-first behaviours, rising e-commerce adoption and explosive content consumption on platforms such as TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. By empowering local teams, brands can go beyond traditional market research and gain authentic, ground-level insights Saudi Arabia alone demonstrates this shift, boasting 97 per cent smartphone penetration among adults. This trend is similarly strong in Egypt, where digital ad growth is forecasted to accelerate significantly following the rollout of 5G. Meanwhile, in the UAE, digital advertising already commands 73 per cent of total ad spend, with social media accounting for a substantial share, according to the latest report from the Interactive Advertising Bureau Mena. Combine this with a regional youth population in which more than 60 per cent are under the age of 30 and you begin to see the immense opportunity – and responsibility – for brands to shape culturally relevant, emotionally intelligent conversations. But here is the catch, and it is a critical one: growth without relevance is just noise. Audience measurement firm Nielsen reports that 63 per cent of Middle Eastern consumers prefer brands that authentically reflect their culture. This does not just mean demographic profiling but genuine cultural reflection, including language, values and lived experiences such as prayer times, family gatherings and Ramadan traditions. Localisation is not translation, it is respect. Localisation is about recognising that a mother in Cairo, a teenager in Riyadh and a young entrepreneur in Dubai each navigate different realities that are shaped by unique contexts. Respecting that difference requires intentionality. It cannot be simply a matter of swapping English for Arabic. Consider Ramadan. Brands that perceive the holy month as merely a commercial event rarely resonate. Successful brands understand its deeper spiritual and emotional significance. According to Google's Mena Ramadan Insights Report from 2023, Ramadan-specific campaigns witnessed up to a 40 per cent increase in consumer engagement versus generic messaging during the same period. Brands that belong, win. Effective campaigns in the Middle East feel native because they are rooted in authentic local storytelling, partnerships and voices that resonate deeply with regional experiences. A YouGov Mena poll from last year highlights this clearly, with 72 per cent of GCC consumers trusting brands that partner with regional influencers who authentically represent local culture. For example, a leading fast-moving consumer goods brand's localised Ramadan campaign achieved a 120 per cent increase in social media engagement and a 32 per cent rise in sales, highlighting the direct impact of culturally relevant advertising. Similarly, a global tech brand witnessed a 75 per cent higher click-through rate during its UAE National Day campaign by integrating the local dialect and cultural symbols authentically. Localisation is not a barrier to scale. It is the bridge to deeper, longer, and more profitable relationships. When the message echoes on the streets of Jeddah or resonates in the cafes of Alexandria, brands do not just sell, they sustain. The global standard still matters. This is not about discarding structure or consistency. Global standards maintain integrity, clarity and trust, but these must be infused with regional soul. Think of it as a music remix; the core beat remains consistent, yet the instruments are tuned to the local market. Maggi's Ramadan campaign in 2024 was built on deep cultural insight. Across the region, many home cooks yearn to recreate the traditional dishes they grew up with, yet struggle with time, skill or confidence. Rather than romanticise nostalgia, Maggi responded with empathy. One of its campaigns reimagined family meals through simplified, respectful cooking experiences. The campaign's creatives honoured rituals from Egypt to the Levant while the media brought them to life through addressable, persona-led planning. Each touchpoint, from TV and social to in-store and e-commerce, was crafted to speak to distinct audiences, whether a newlywed in Cairo or a mother in Jeddah. The results spoke volumes; the brand recorded a double-digit sales rise. The campaign did not just earn awards, it earned a place at the Ramadan table. In Saudi Arabia, Nana, a leading femcare brand, tackled a different cultural tension, the silent discomfort young women feel carrying period products in public. One of the company's campaigns for tote bags turned that stigma into empowerment. Custom tote bags featuring subtle, culturally attuned designs were paired with personalised digital storytelling and context-aware media placements. The brand showed up in the right places with the right message, thereby creating real resonance. Nana witnessed a 28 per cent increase in brand consideration and a notable surge in social conversation around normalising period talk. This wasn't just brave campaigning – it was addressable media with heart. What Maggi and Nana prove is simple but powerful. When brands lead with insight, honour cultural truths and deliver through personalised, addressable media, they connect. And in this region, connection is currency. Maggi and Nana did not just localise, they listened. They responded with relevance, not noise. So how can more brands do the same? They can invest in cultural intelligence beyond traditional market research and gain authentic, ground-level insights. By empowering local teams, they can let strategies emerge organically from within the culture. Avoiding superficial adaptations allows brands to build campaigns with communities, not just target them. I've sat in enough boardrooms to know that efficiency is tempting, but performance follows genuine connection. Connection demands relevance, and relevance begins with respect. In the Middle East, you don't win hearts by shouting. You win by speaking the right language – sometimes literally, always emotionally. Let's stop localising for compliance. Instead, localise with purpose, heart and the profound understanding that culture in this region isn't a mere consideration, it's the entire context.
