Rowaidah Bibers founded The PROs PR in Cairo after 16 years working across Egypt and the wider Middle East's regional PR agencies, building it into one of Egypt's leading independent communications consultancies and, in 2025, the first PR agency in Egypt and the Middle East recognized as the Fastest Growing PR Agency by Global Business & Finance Magazine.
Who is Rowaidah Bibers?
Rowaidah Bibers is an Egyptian communications executive who entered public relations largely by chance roughly 17 to 18 years before she founded her own firm, while working at a large multinational company when an opportunity arose to join a regional PR agency. She has described the transition from a large corporate environment to a much smaller agency as a significant early challenge, one that ultimately revealed that her personal skills, relationship building, strategic thinking, and effective communication, were well suited to the demands of the PR field.
Before founding The PROs, Bibers held senior leadership positions at established communications agencies across Egypt and the Middle East, including a General Manager role at POD Egypt (Point of Differentiation), where she managed complex mandates for multinational and regional clients. She holds an international business administration degree from UNB and has more than 20 years of overall experience in reputation management, corporate positioning, media relations, crisis communications, government affairs, executive profiling, and stakeholder engagement.
How did The PROs build its client base?
The PROs now manages more than 40 retainer clients and over 50 strategic projects for multinational brands including Amazon, AstraZeneca, Allianz, Schneider Electric, Signify, Beko, talabat, and Majid Al Futtaim, alongside prominent Egyptian companies such as Madinet Masr, Fawry, Al Ahly Sabbour, Contact, Ezz El Arab, and Smart Village. The firm's client mix spans global technology and consumer brands entering the Egyptian market alongside homegrown Egyptian corporates across real estate, fintech, automotive, and industrial sectors.
Bibers built the agency around what she has called a hub of creativity and innovation, one designed to challenge the status quo and continuously push for solutions that resonate with both media and the broader public. The firm has expanded operations into Saudi Arabia as part of a wider regional growth strategy and increasingly manages integrated regional communications campaigns for clients operating across multiple Middle Eastern markets, supporting cross-border market outreach and executive positioning work.
What is The PROs' current status?
The PROs remains independent and Bibers-led, operating out of Cairo with a growing Gulf footprint through its Saudi Arabia expansion. Its 2025 recognition as the region's Fastest Growing PR Agency by Global Business & Finance Magazine marked the first time an Egyptian firm won that specific award category, a milestone Bibers has framed as reflecting the agency's sustained growth, expanding market presence, and commitment to delivering strategic communications counsel across diverse sectors rather than a single breakout campaign.
The firm has also engaged directly with government-level trade diplomacy, representing clients at events attended by senior officials including Egypt's Minister of Trade and Industry and Turkey's Minister of Trade, and participated in initiatives such as Egypt's first Harm Reduction Summit, extending the agency's public affairs work beyond conventional corporate and consumer PR into public-health and trade-policy adjacent territory.
How does Bibers approach talent and industry standards?
Beyond her executive role, Bibers has positioned herself as an advocate for developing communications talent and advancing professional standards within Egypt's PR industry, mentoring practitioners who have gone on to senior roles at other agencies in the market. She has described the discipline it takes to sustain client relationships across sectors as varied as real estate, retail, and consumer technology as central to what sets The PROs apart from single-sector specialist competitors in the Egyptian market.
How does Bibers' founding story compare across the region?
Bibers built The PROs after a long apprenticeship inside existing regional agencies, spending 16 years across multinational and regional firms before launching independently, a path distinct from Middle East peer Mohammed Al-Ayed's rise at TRACCS. Both firms have nonetheless built their reputations on serving multinational clients entering the region, and both have used that multinational client base to expand beyond their original home market, TRACCS across the wider Middle East and The PROs into Saudi Arabia specifically. That same regional-expansion pattern is visible further south at Ayeni Adekunle's Black House Media in Nigeria, another firm that grew from a single home market into a cross-border footprint.
