Although we focus on advertising related topics here on AdBlogArabia, these caricatures by Imad Hajjaj have grabbed my attention, and it seems he is focusing on a message of the total instability in this part of the Arab World, with Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon all in turmoil.
It is worth taking a look at these creative caricatures which have been published over the course of the past two months at Mahjoob.com and Al Ghad newspaper.

The people at Adverbatims say:
“Pay attention, professionals –or not- in Communication, Marketing and Advertising. These things happen almost every day; sometimes we don’t even notice them. But they’re here to stay. They are verbatims. And yes, they’re REAL.”
There are loads of these ‘sayings’ and you can even download them as PDF. Very entertaining, and tragically true! Check it out.

According to Arab Advisors Group, a regional research company, the number of Arab free to air (FTA) satellite channels more than doubled between 2004 and 2006!
By October 2006 the total number of FTA Satellite channels broadcasting on Arabsat and Nilesat reached 263, growing by 163% since January 2004.
Of these FTA channels, 73.8% are privately owned. This is attributable to the increase in the number of countries allowing private ownership in the Arab region. And a higher number of channels broadcast on Nilesat compared to Arabsat.
Arab Advisors Group’s analysis reveals that over 90% of FTA satellite channels include programs in Arabic. Channels corresponding to general programs types continue to dominate other program types making up 25.9% of FTA channels by October 2006.
The gulf countries host the highest number of Arab FTA satellite channels encompassing close to half of the total channels targeting the region.
These facts and numbers are part of a new report by Arab Advisors Group, entitled “Satellite TV in the Arab World 2006″.
