OMNES Influencers has an open market format allowing business and influencers to communicate directly with each other locally, regionally and internationally. The platform also shortlists influencers to clients based on an advanced search engine and Artificial Intelligence.

Our participation at the Web Summit to present OMNES Influencers is an opportunity to demonstrate our ability to play a larger role in harnessing the power of social media and be a catalyst of change in the digital marketing industry.”
Al Midfa added:“We are delighted to be a part of such a valuable and high profile global event. The Web Summit is considered a key annual activity where digital portals and solutions are presented to the world. It has always been our vision to be a global hub for the creative and media industry and to inspire and support business leadership while supporting the creative environment to allow individuals to grow and succeed. As such, we are keen to be part of this important global event as it will be instrumental in helping us to meet our strategic objectives.”
