Creative platform MADE launches GCC-wide expansion to connect Music, Art, Dance & Entertainment talents directly with seekers.
DUBAI: After a successful run in the UAE, MADE, the region’s first commission-free digital platform for Music, Art, Dance, and Entertainment, has announced its expansion across the GCC. The move opens new doors for creatives and event organisers in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar, furthering the platform’s vision to build a borderless creative community.
Launched by finance and tech expert Nizar Ahmadi, MADE is a platform designed to eliminate intermediaries, enabling artists and performers to connect directly with clients—from event planners to individuals—without paying commission. This user-friendly app is available on both iOS and Android, allowing talent to showcase videos, set their own rates, and advertise their availability.
“With this GCC rollout, our mission remains clear: give every creative a chance to shine and give every event organiser instant access to reliable, commission-free talent,” said Ahmadi, Founder and CEO of MADE. “We are building a bridge across borders and unlocking opportunities at scale.”
The platform’s ‘MADE to Sell’ feature enables artists to promote and sell creative products like fashion, jewellery, design, and visual art. For maximum exposure, MADE also offers premium subscriptions where users can boost their profiles with enhanced visibility, upload more showcase videos, and unlock advanced search filters. Talent seekers, too, can access more leads and advertise directly through in-app banners.
MADE is not positioned to compete with traditional agencies; rather, it complements them by streamlining the booking and discovery process. Its Travel Mode feature lets talents display availability across countries, giving performers the ability to book gigs in multiple markets.
As part of its next phase, MADE is setting sights on Egypt by 2026, and global expansion thereafter, reflecting its ambition to support the 99% of creative talents who remain undiscovered.
Start your journey with MADE by downloading the app from the App Store or Google Play and explore a commission-free future for creative careers.
