Jamal Alqaryouti is the founder and CEO of GQ Multimedia. Having more than 16 years of experience in journalism, Jamal’s passion for journalism and media begun while working towards his Bachelor’s degree in Art at Yarmouk University in Jordan. Upon completion of his Bachelor’s degree, Jamal went on to pursuit a Master’s Degree in International Studies from Birzeit University in Palestine. He completed his Master’s Degree in 1999.
In 2004 Jamal moved to Canada. In 2006, driven by his passion for journalism and entrepreneurship, after being in Canada for just two years, Jamal established GQ Multimedia, an advertising agency specializing in media advertising production.
GQ Multimedia’s first publication was Al-Wattan biweekly Arabic newspaper for which Jamal still remains the Editor-in-Chief. Quickly establishing Al-Wattan as a leading Arabic newspaper in the Greater Toronto area, Jamal saw the need for a high quality business guide for the Arabic community. He began the publication of the very successful Waseet Business Guide, an annual business guide of which 20,000 copies are distributed in 220 outlets in 18 cities throughout Ontario.
GQ Multimedia introduced yet another Arabic publication, Sawa Rbena. Sawa Rbena is a monthly newspaper which focuses on the social elements of the Arab Canadian community which include but are not limited to culture, community talents, health and beauty, local community news and events.
Jamal further expanded GQ Multimedia’s portfolio of services beyond print media, when he established the GQ TV Advertising Network, a chain of televisions operating in large Arabic supermarkets. This network is exclusive to GQ Multimedia and runs commercials continuously during the supermarket’s business hours, providing advertisers a unique opportunity to target the niche market of the Arabic community. Jamal’s next step in TV marketing was to establish GQ Multimedia as the exclusive advertising agency for Omniyat TV, the only Arabic television program broadcasted on the Omni channel, and it is viewed by over 110,000 weekly viewers in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.
In 2010, Jamal expanded GQ Multimedia services and publication beyond the Arab Canadian market and launched What’s Up Mississauga, an English monthly magazine that brings the spotlight on the City of Mississauga. The magazine targeting young adults, reports on various topics including local news, travel, world sports, fashion, healthy living, nightlife, technology, politics and in addition each issue focuses solely on various Canadian talent with each issue allowing a peak into some of the most successful Canadian professional’s lives.
In addition to developing a large portfolio of media services, Jamal developed GQ Multimedia’s portfolio even further, by introducing a Web Development and Web Advertising division. Additionally GQ Multimedia offers GQ Printing, a full range of printing services including brochures, posters, flyers, banners, business cards and post cards.
In 2011, Jamal driven by his unquenchable thirst for entrepreneurship put GQ Multimedia on the international map, when he established a GQ Multimedia office in Jordan.
