Founder & executive features
Get featured in The Gulf Magazine.
Every month we profile founders and executives from across the GCC. An editor writes the piece, you check it, and it runs on the site and in the monthly issue. Pitching is free and takes a few minutes.
What you get
A written profile, not a form you fill in.
- 01
A profile written by an editor after a call with you.
- 02
Your own page on thegulfmagazine.com, with a URL to link from LinkedIn, your site, and your deck.
- 03
A page in the October 2026 issue.
- 04
Every number and quote checked with you before it goes live.
What it costs
Pitching is free. A published feature carries an editorial fee.
The fee is USD 30$, confirmed with you before any work starts. It covers the editor's time on the call, the writing, the fact check, and the page in the issue. It does not buy a place. The editors still choose what runs, and you pay nothing unless a feature is commissioned.

Who we feature
People running companies in the Gulf.
Founders
You started a company in the GCC, or moved one here. Any stage, any industry.
Executives
You run a team, a division, or a region for a company that operates in the Gulf.
Investors and operators
You back or build Gulf companies and have opinions you can defend.
We do not feature everyone. A pitch does not guarantee a profile, and a fee does not buy one. Pitches with a clear story and specific numbers get read first.
How it works
Four steps, one call.
- 01
Pitch
Four short screens below. Your name, the company, and the story in one sentence.
- 02
Editor call
If it fits an upcoming issue, an editor calls you, goes deeper, and confirms the fee.
- 03
Draft
We write it. You check the facts, the numbers, and your quotes.
- 04
Published
Your profile goes live on the site and into the monthly issue.
Your pitch
Tell us the story.
Four short screens. Every required field is something the editor needs before the call. Plain language is fine; we write the piece.

- Does it cost anything?
- Pitching is free, and so is the editor call. A published feature carries an editorial fee of USD 30$, confirmed with you before any work starts. Sponsored content and advertising are separate. See the Advertise page for those.
- Can I nominate someone else?
- Yes. Choose "Nominating someone" in the form, give us their name, and tell us why. We contact them directly.
- What will you need from me?
- A call with an editor, a good photo, and time to check the draft for facts, numbers, and quotes.
- When will I hear back?
- If the story fits an upcoming issue, an editor contacts you by email or WhatsApp. If you do not hear from us, it did not make that issue. You can pitch again.
