Sony Middle East and Africa has appointed Ruder Finn Atteline, to manage its regional PR communications mandate across the Middle East.
The global integrated marketing and communications consultancy and the MENA arm of the Ruder Finn group will lead strategic PR communications for Sony’s consumer electronics division, covering Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Egypt.
This includes handling Sony’s BRAVIA televisions, home audio systems, advanced digital imaging products, audio solutions such as the newly expanded ULT Power Sound series, and the INZONE range.
The partnership follows Ruder Finn Atteline’s recent brand refresh and strategic senior appointments.
“Sony is a brand that resonates globally, but also connects deeply with audiences here in the region. This partnership reflects the kind of work we want to do more of – bold, meaningful, and built on shared ambition, while also fulfilling Sony’s purpose to fill the world with emotion through the power of creativity and technology,” said Sophie Simpson, Managing Director of Ruder Finn Atteline – MENA.
“As we continue to expand our presence in the Middle East & North Africa, our focus remains on creating real impact for all our clients. Collaborating with iconic brands like Sony propels us closer to our goal of shaping the future of communications through culture and creativity,” Simpson added.
Sony claims it’s aim is to continue to shape cultural and immersive experiences across the region through its innovation in home entertainment, personal entertainment, digital imaging gaming, and storytelling.
“At Sony, our ambition is fueled by a relentless drive to inspire and fulfil the curiosity of our audiences across the MENA region,” said Jobin Joejoe, Managing Director, Sony Middle East and Africa.
“We believe in creating meaningful experiences that go beyond technology. Experiences that connect with people on a deeper, more personal level,” he added.
The appointment of Ruder Finn Atteline aims to be an extension of this vision, Joejoe said.
“As an agency with strong regional insight and a grasp of evolving market dynamics, Ruder Finn Atteline brings both local relevance and strategic expertise to the table. Just like our People Philosophy, ‘Special You, Diverse Sony’ this further embodies our inclusive approach to craft integrated, high-impact communications strategies to showcase the depth, diversity, and values in the region,” he said.
With a multitude of launches in the pipeline, Sony said it remains committed to delivering inspiring content and cutting-edge technology across the region.
Ruder Finn Atteline claims that it will continue to support Sony’s story through integrated communication strategies rooted in the Middle East market, evolving entertainment trends, and shifting digital consumption patterns to keep connected with its customers.
