The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) has entered a strategic partnership with Meirc Training and Consulting to enhance marketing capability across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
Under the agreement, Meirc will deliver CIM’s flagship programmes, beginning with the CIM Impact Development Programme, a two-year pathway designed to equip marketers with global best practices, measurable performance tools, and credentials toward Chartered Marketer status.
The programme comprises three professional courses in marketing, brand and digital strategy, combining strategic insight with practical application. Participants will earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certificates upon completion of each stage, culminating in the Impact Development Programme certificate for those completing all three.
CIM Strategy and Commercial Director, James Sutton, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing global marketing standards through a trusted regional partner. Meirc’s Managing Director, Jimmy Haddad, described the collaboration as a milestone that will grant GCC marketers access to world-class training and international certification.
The first batch of CIM programmes delivered by Meirc will commence in January 2026.
