Tubular Labs last year ranked MBC No. 10 in the world for digital and social media views above large international conglomerates including BuzzFeed, the BBC, and Fox Corp, and MBC was currently No. 9 on the list.
Its social media growth was evident on all channels. It has become one of the top-performing media companies on TikTok recording more than 472 million views during Ramadan, and 4.2 billion views on Snapchat marking a 392 percent increase compared to Ramadan last year.
“Our investment into our social media and digital projects has increased by 1,414 percent compared to the same time last year.
“More than 8.8 billion social media views in a single month is a phenomenal record never before achieved by a Middle East media company,” Al-Nowaisir added.
