Marketing is conducted through a bilingual (English/Arabic) corporate website, a LinkedIn corporate page, and detailed PDF case studies.

MARCO is a privately held, family-controlled firm with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries, and it has remained under single-family ownership since inception. The firm maintains a regional operating footprint confined to Saudi Arabia, with no disclosed international operations or diversification beyond the domestic market.
