Sponsorship
Scooped is free to read and carries no advertising. It is supported by a small number of sponsors who back independent regional intelligence — and want to be known for it.
No advertising. No exceptions.
Scooped sells no ad placements, no sponsored posts, no native content. Nothing in the feed is paid for. What we publish is decided on editorial merit and nothing else — a change either matters to the people we serve, or it does not. That line does not move for money.
Independence is the product.
Scooped is worth reading because it can be trusted. Sponsors fund the work; they do not shape it. No sponsor sees coverage before it publishes, influences what gets covered, or appears inside an alert. The separation between who supports Scooped and what Scooped reports is absolute — and it is precisely what makes support here worth more than advertising anywhere else.
What sponsorship is.
Sponsorship is association, not insertion. It places a serious organisation alongside a serious product — read every weekday by the compliance officers, operators, advisers, and decision-makers who act on what changes in the UAE. Recognition is restrained, clearly marked as support, and kept well clear of the editorial. You are backing primary-source journalism in a region that has too little of it. That is the offer, and it is deliberately a quiet one.
Who it suits.
Sponsorship fits organisations whose reputation rests on rigour and trust — professional-services firms, financial institutions, technology and infrastructure businesses, and others who would rather be known for backing something credible than for buying attention. We keep the roster small on purpose, so each name stands out and none is crowded.
Open to a conversation.
If supporting same-day, source-verified intelligence across the Gulf fits how you want your name used, we are glad to talk — about sponsorship, about underwriting regional expansion, or about support in forms we have not thought of yet. No pitch deck required.
