Elephant Social was shortlisted into the top 160 start ups worldwide, from thousands of applicants, to compete at the venue in front of Fortune 500 companies, tech journalists from across the world and 14,000+ live audience.

As a pioneering tech innovation company in Bahrain, Elephant Social has become the only company in the GCC shortlisted to pitch at the world-renowned Web Summit 2018. “Being the only company from the GCC at Web Summit 2018 adds a lot of pressure to the competition, as we want to showcase not only the amazing work my team has done, but also the start up scene in Bahrain,” explained Elephant Social CEO and Co-founder, Omer A. Rana.

They have been selected to present their state-of-the-art social media marketing application, Elephant Social; where industry experts will decide who the world’s leading and most exciting start up is. “Web Summit really is an amazing launching pad and I encourage all aspiring tech entrepreneurs to closely follow the tech race to make sure they understand the global market and not just the regional aspects.” he said.

“Our presence at Web Summit 2018 serves as a stepping stone for Bahrain in the field of technology. It proves that investments made towards technology-development in the Kingdom are paying off,” he added.

The company has been developing Elephant Social, to revolutionise the way social media marketing is done. “We’ve created a new way for companies to approach their social media campaigns and online advertisements,” he explained.

“Our application will make digital marketing extremely accessible for businesses of all sizes and can replace the need for ad agencies,” he further explained.

Mr. Rana also added, “We have always had a close relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS), and their constant support has helped us innovate without boundaries. We are also extremely grateful for the constant support we receive from C5 Accelerate, a program supported by Tamkeen, who have been very helpful.”
