Eight years have passed since the founding of PR Lines, and Domins ranges have expressed their most prominent features and their story, which began in Istanbul in the summer of 2016 with the veteran media friend Ismail Al-Quritli, my dear neighbor, the training expert Marwan Fanoush, and the wonderful journalist Naeem Al-Ashibi.. The idea at the beginning was to We establish a media training and consulting center. The idea was to break away from the norm by establishing Experts Cafe. The office design was inspired by the designs of Starbucks and Nero Cafés, and the first domain we started from was expertscafe.media.
The surprise was when we started licensing the company, the problem of the lack of clarity of the profession in the name appeared, so what about a training company and its name is the Experts Cafe? Are you a cafe or a training center!! ..and we went to adopt a name derived from the site’s address, which is Dot Media.. and that was the beginning..
Only a few months passed until we were able to design our own business model that we called PR Lines. We immediately found that this name was what expressed us and our activity, so we turned to PR Lines. That was in 2017, and it was a year very rich in exploring opportunities and building… relations in Istanbul, and the year did not end until the departure of my dear partners and I alone continued the leadership of PR Lines, and every year after that had a notable story of achievement. In 2018 it was the year of the blockchain and the Al Arabiya Hayat project, and in 2019 it was the financial technology conference AfroAsia Banking Industry and the birth of AFAS Fintech HUB…and establishing an investment portfolio, InvesPResso…and we had the honor of being a member of the Supreme Council of Middle East Businessmen (OTİD).
In the year of Corona 2020, we established the first Arab Toastmasters Club in the Republic of Turkey, PR Lines Arabic Toastmasters Club, and it was the inspiring club to launch our pioneering project PODLINES in 2021, which is the first digital incubator for Arab podcast makers…that startup through which we entered the world of entrepreneurship. It was launched in Dubai on 7/7/2021, which is the day we initiated the launch of the International Arab Podcast Day, and the first Arab podcast conference was launched under the title: We build the Arab podcast space..
The year 2022 began with a broad title, which is digital transformation, as we had the following achievements:
– Launching the Fintech Roadvision conference with the strategic partner, Afaq Events.
– A technical partnership with Technical Visions and the launch of Podlife, which is the digital incubator application on the Apple and Google Play stores.
– A strategic partnership with UDSE for digital services, and the launch of the ExBarter platform.
