Ruder Finn Atteline, a global integrated marketing and communications consultancy dually headquartered in Riyadh and Dubai and the MENA arm of the Ruder Finn Group, has launched two new offerings for the region amid its expansion.
According to the agency, the newly launched “Culture & Education practice” and “RF Publicity” are designed to address growing demand for talent-led storytelling, live visibility, and audience connection.
“From shaping publicity for some of the world’s biggest entertainment brands and managing red carpets at the industry’s most-watched moments across the past 70-plus years, to driving global education platforms like What’s Next for the next generation of communications professionals, it’s evident that Ruder Finn’s long-standing legacy speaks for itself,” Radhika Mehta, EVP Growth and Operations, Ruder Finn Atteline, said. “As part of the RF Group, Ruder Finn Atteline’s opportunity to bring the first-ever ETP program to the Kingdom at the top of 2026 supported this global mission while also complementing the regional landscape.”
“The introduction of RF Publicity, as well as our Culture & Education practice, will serve a similar function. However, they are not new capabilities for us. Both practices are decades of expertise being leveraged to help our clients build long-term sustained relevance,” Mehta explained.
The Culture & Education practice will support cultural commissions, museums, universities, edtech platforms and knowledge institutions across MENA, with a focus on Saudi Arabia and Vision 2030-related initiatives.
Meanwhile, RF Publicity is a specialist service covering talent publicity, project communications, and live event coverage. It includes services such as red carpet media management, press junkets, interview setups, premieres, experiential activations, and influencer campaigns.
