AME Info, the leading Middle East business resource, has been awarded Superbrand status for the second year in a row.

Joining the likes of industry giants such as DHL, Canon and Panasonic, AME Info was one of only 68 brands to receive the award by the Superbrands Council - a panel of leading independent business experts from across the region.

Superbrand status is awarded only to those companies who the Council believes are focused and consistent in what they do, are trusted by their customers, are charismatic and are leaders in their field.

Mike English, Chairman of the Superbrands Council, presented the award to AME Info's General Manager Ziad Khammar and Brand Marketing Manager Stefanie Patel at a recent ceremony held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dubai Festival City.

'We are extremely proud to receive the award for the second year in a row. The AME Info brand has gone from strength to strength and its readership base now reaches almost one million readers per month,' said Khammar.

'AME Info is recognised as the brand of choice by our advertisers when it comes to reaching customers with a business interest in the Middle East. By going online advertisers can get their messages across in different ways to make a real impact. We're very pleased that AME Info is leading the way when it comes to new media,' added Patel.

AME Info currently has more than half a million pages of business news available from across 14 countries within the Middle East, featuring daily news, special features and company news.

In addition, AME Info offers a range of business services, including the region's most comprehensive business directory and events directory, and was the first website to develop an online business radio station and a mobile phone version of the site, enabling readers to stay up to date whilst on the move.
