Diriyah Company has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG) to expand collaboration in the media sector and deliver innovative projects and initiatives that further solidify Diriyah’s standing as a global destination of historical and cultural significance. The MoU also aims to amplify cultural and national narratives, reaching audiences both within the Kingdom and across international markets.
The MoU was signed by Jerry Inzerillo, Group CEO of Diriyah Company, and Jomana Al-Rashid, CEO of SRMG. This milestone agreement sets the stage for closer cooperation in media, marketing, and cultural content, with a dedicated joint team to be established to develop initiatives that reflect the shared vision and ambitions of both organizations.
This first-of-its-kind collaboration between Diriyah Company and SRMG spans four key areas: corporate and media communications; events, exhibitions, conferences, and visits; data and expertise exchange and knowledge transfer; as well as joint training programs, activities, and initiatives. The MoU also outlines enhanced collaboration across SRMG media platforms, the organization of visits for international media delegations to experience Diriyah, and exploring opportunities to host exhibitions, events, and joint cultural and social activities.
The MoU builds on SRMG’s well-established expertise in analytical storytelling and its comprehensive, integrated journalistic coverage, aligning with Diriyah’s vision to effectively communicate its messages. SRMG also aims to leverage its strong partnerships with leading cultural entities and its integrated media ecosystem, combining reach, diversity, and innovation, to deliver inspiring and impactful content that supports these ambitions.
It is worth noting that this cooperation is part of a series of strategic agreements that Diriyah Company has signed with various government and private entities. These agreements aim to support the company’s efforts in cultural and economic development and to strengthen its global presence in line with Saudi Vision 2030. The collaboration also underscores Diriyah’s commitment to developing the “Media and Innovation District,” a 250,000-square-meter hub set to become a dynamic center for media talent and projects. The district will include commercial and office spaces, residential units, and a luxury hotel, further reinforcing Diriyah’s position as a leading destination for culture, creativity, and media.
