The UAE Media Council has announced an extension for content creators and advertisers to obtain a mandatory 'Advertiser' license, moving the new deadline to January 31 of the upcoming year. This grace period provides more time for individuals to comply with the recent regulation, which was introduced to oversee and standardize advertising activities on social media platforms across the nation. The council has already issued over 1,800 of these licenses since the initiative began.
This move is a strategic part of the UAE's broader effort to solidify its position as a global hub for the advertising and content creation industry. By implementing a formal licensing system, the government aims to achieve several key objectives, including attracting more investment into the sector, boosting the competitiveness of the national digital advertising market, and empowering creative talent. The framework also ensures that all advertising content aligns with approved standards and the country's social values.
The extension is intended to allow a greater number of content creators and advertisers to formalize their status and operate within the new regulatory environment. The council expects that the high uptake of these licenses will help accelerate the growth of a professional, transparent, and high-quality digital advertising ecosystem in the UAE.
