The First Centennial.. and Vision 2030 – A Strategic Reading by BETH

Title Interpretation

The First Centennial: A reference to the day when the modern Saudi state was born, after its complete unification at the hands of King Abdulaziz – may God have mercy on him – on 23 September 1932, where the story of unity and identity began.
On the occasion of the 100th National Day – 23 September 2030, the Kingdom enters a new phase with a new vision after implementing programs of one of the most remarkable and comprehensive modern strategies crafted by nations throughout history.

What do we expect… based on domestic Saudi indicators and the global context?

🔹 Sixth: BETH’s Media Roadmap (2025 – 2030)

Before detailing the roadmap, it must be noted that BETH operates under a comprehensive strategy unprecedented in Saudi media, carefully crafted and prepared by the Strategic Media Management to be practical, implementable, and aligned with the highest global standards.

This strategy was not drawn as a slogan or theory, but as an institutional plan rooted in the national vision while anticipating global media trends. Nevertheless, the practical implementation of this strategy requires operational and investment budgets aligned with the scale of ambition and the level of goals set.

📝 Strategic Note

Editorial Axis: develop content standards built on deep analysis and symbolic intelligence, with commitment to neutrality and balanced stimulation.

Technical Axis: adopt advanced AI tools, build a symbolic archiving system, and transform into a smart, multilingual media platform.

Marketing Axis: strengthen global identity, build international alliances, and attract advertisers and investors through unique content.
