Founded in 1972 as Saudi Research and Publishing Company and restructured as a joint-stock entity in 2000, SRMG is headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at Al Sharq Al Awsat Building on Makkah Road, and listed on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) under ticker 4210 since 2006. It maintains approximately 40 subsidiaries, nearly all fully owned, focused on media, advertising, publishing, printing, packaging, plastics, intellectual property management, and licensed projects, with international offices in locations including the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Morocco, and Pakistan. In recent developments, SRMG announced a strategic partnership with Saudia in February 2025 to supply premium Arabic content, including Asharq News Network and Asharq Discovery (with Warner Bros. Discovery), to the airline's BEYOND in-flight entertainment system. In April 2025, SRMG partnered with Naif Alrajhi Investment, integrating Veyron Marketing's capabilities with SRMG Media Solutions for advanced digital advertising and media planning across MENA. Additional 2025 milestones include a memorandum of understanding with Diriyah Company in August for enhanced media collaboration on cultural content, a SAR 240 million marketing services contract awarded to subsidiary Taoq in July, and shareholder approval of related-party deals in June. The company rebranded from Saudi Research and Marketing Group to its current name in May 2021, launched a new business model with five divisions (media, international, events, research/polling, innovation), acquired stakes in Argaam (2017), Thmanyah and Raff Publishing (2021), and expanded digital offerings like Manga Arabia.
