Independent in perspective.
Trusted by audiences.
Qalam brings together independent specialist media brands, each built around an active community of readers and followers with a shared interest.
Seven publications, seven fields
Each Qalam publication covers one field and has its own newsroom: technology, gaming, travel, automotive, economics, film and shopping guidance. What they share is one editorial standard and one technical platform, built up since 2010.
The monthly figures, at a glance
All seven publications combined, for September 2026, taken from the group's own analytics.
By the group's own analytics, readers have spent close to 150 million hours inside Qalam publications to date. We put that figure beside the traffic numbers because time spent says more about how long readers stay than a click count does.
3,450 brands and businesses, from startups to international names, have advertised with us
Seven publications, one contract
A campaign can run across several specialist publications and their social channels at once, with one team and one report.
Readers on the point of buying
Someone reading a review or a buying guide is in the middle of a decision. An ad here sits beside the content they came for.
A clear performance report
Every campaign gets a report of impressions, clicks and video views, the same numbers we see ourselves.
Where each publication's audience follows it
Followers per publication, by platform; the bar shows each channel's share. Counts are read from each account's public page.

Who reads these publications
From Gen Z to decision-makers
Seven subjects, seven audiences: from a teenager choosing a console to the manager who signs off a purchase.
High purchase intent
A large share of visits land on reviews, comparisons and buying guides, which means the reader is choosing.
21% more trust
Readers come to these publications for an expert view, and that trust carries over to the brand introduced beside it.
Staying power in search
Editorial pieces and advertorials stay in search results and keep being read months and years later, unlike a banner that disappears when the campaign ends.
The same readers, this time in a hall
The Zoomit Meetup and Zoomg's live events, where the publications' online community comes into a hall and sponsor brands meet readers face to face.
Zoomg events
The Game Awards, live · Sabamall hall
A group viewing of The Game Awards with a full hall until 3 a.m., and FIFA tournaments with more than two thousand entrants.
In short: A reader who comes to a hall at midnight, on a paid ticket, has a relationship with the publication that traffic figures do not show. For commercial sponsors these events are a way to talk to that reader directly, from booths and venue branding to time on stage.
Publishing and production infrastructure, built in-house
A publishing platform built for the newsroom
The publishing and content platform the group's own software team has built for the newsroom since 2021, with page speed and SEO as design goals. Today every publication in the group runs on Forge.
Video, from production to delivery
An in-house player and video infrastructure carrying 90 million views a month. Production, hosting and delivery all stay inside the group.
The video and live-broadcast studio
A studio floor, a control room and a product-review set, with multi-camera recording and a live mix. The studio produces editorial video for all seven publications and commissioned content for brands, and handles live broadcast of events.
ZoomApp
The official Qalam Media Group app: all seven publications in one place, with a feed ordered by what you read.
Advertising across the Qalam publications
Display, advertorials, native content, video and event sponsorship across seven specialist publications, with a performance report for every campaign.
Reach
Seven specialist publications and their social accounts on eight platforms, from Instagram and YouTube to Telegram and Bale.
Editorial credibility
Sponsored content is always labelled and the newsroom stays independent. That is why readers trust what they read here.
Performance report
At the end of every campaign you receive a report of impressions, clicks, video views and traffic to your site.
Four stages, one continuous path
Awareness
Display, video and native content across seven publications and their social channels. Your brand appears where readers have come to read.
Trust
Product reviews, advertorials and field reports to the newsroom's standard, clearly labelled. Readers know what they are reading, which is why they trust it.
Engagement
The Zoomit Meetup, Zoomg's events, busy comment sections and Q&A on social channels: where a brand joins the conversation.
Purchase
Buying guides and price comparison on Zoobin, with direct links to the store. The campaign ends at the checkout, and the final report shows it.
