DigiSay

What DigiSay does

DigiSay (legal entity: DIGISAY LLC) is a privately held, full-stack media-tech company founded in 2010, headquartered in Sharjah Media City (UAE) with operating presence in Gîza, Egypt and Newark, Delaware. It serves broadcasters, streaming platforms, content creators, and brands in the MENA region with six integrated service lines: anti-piracy and content protection, content management and monetization, digital content production, social media management, growth marketing, and influencer marketing. Its proprietary anti-piracy software, RightsHero, uses AI-powered real-time search bots and automated detection algorithms to monitor, identify, and remove unauthorized content distribution across search engines, social media, streaming services, and peer-to-peer platforms, exposing performance via dashboards and reports.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model. Agency work — spanning production, social, marketing, and creator support — is delivered through quote-based, consultative sales on multi-year contracts with enterprise clients, evidenced by named logos including MBC, Viu, Netflix, Shahid, Sony, Rotana, Al Arabiya, Google, and USAID. RightsHero is positioned as a separately licensable SaaS-style subscription offering for copyright protection. Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting media organizations and brands via direct outreach, inbound website SEO/content marketing, and free consultancy conversion CTAs.

The DigiSay Group umbrella includes six wholly-owned subsidiaries — Cubitcode (venture building), Immersive (production), Mangos24 (marketing communications), Revive (wellness media), RightsHero (anti-piracy technology), and SilkBytes (media technology solutions). In 2023, the company received the Outstanding Tech Implementation of 2023 Award from BroadcastPro Middle East and The Best Digital Asset Piracy Protection Solution Award from UAE Business Awards, signaling its public repositioning from regional agency to recognized media-tech provider. Ownership is founder-controlled, with no disclosed external funding rounds.

• Vobile: Vobile offers AI-driven content identification, copyright detection, and anti-piracy solutions for film, TV, and sports rights holders. Directly comparable to DigiSay's RightsHero in applying fingerprinting and AI matching to identify and remove pirated content.
• MUSO: MUSO provides anti-piracy monitoring, protection, and audience intelligence for entertainment, software, and publishing clients globally.

Broad incumbents

• Irdeto: Irdeto is a global content security and anti-piracy vendor serving broadcasters, OTT platforms, and game publishers. Overlaps with RightsHero on anti-piracy monitoring/enforcement, but Irdeto also offers conditional access, DRM, and broader media security.
