On October 8th, our Head of Corporate Affairs & Communications GCC, Noor Balfaqeeh, represented Unilever Arabia at MEPRA KSA Leadership Majlis: Powering Progress: Communications at the Crossroads of Innovation, Influence & Impact in Riyadh. The Middle East Public Relations Association (MEPRA) is the region’s leading body for public relations and communication professionals and students. During the panel discussion on “Media Economics & the Business of Influence,” Noor shared insights on how communications can shape behavior and drive both social and economic impact.

She emphasized the importance of purposeful storytelling, stakeholder engagement, and digital innovation as key enablers of trust and transformation. Noor’s message reflected Unilever’s approach to integrating communications into our business strategy — not just to inform, but to inspire and influence in ways that empower communities.
