Connect Alliance markets Al Jazeera in Europe

The media agency network Connect Alliance will market the platforms of the media company Qatar Media exclusively in Europe. This is the first time that Qatar Media has ventured outside the Gulf States for its advertising space. The Doha-based group represents the Al Jazeera Network, Qatar TV, QBS Radio and Sout Al Khaleej as well as all outdoor media in Qatar. In addition to the well-known Arabic-language channel and several sports channels, the Al Jazeera Network will also include Al Jazeera International, an English sister station that will report from Doha, London, Washington and Kuala Lumpur, from next September. However, the launch has already been postponed several times; last April, the launch was announced for June, followed by a postponement to the fall in May. Connect Alliance comprises six European media agencies. The Swiss partner is Affinity-PrimeMedia in Savigny.
