Mena Media Consulting or simply Mena Media is a Moroccan public relations firm owned by King of Morocco Mohammed VI's friend and influential advisor Fouad Ali El Himma.[2][3]

The company was founded by Saudi businessman Othman Al Omeir in late 2004. It was later cited as belonging to El Himma.[4] Between 2008 and 2016, Othman El Ferdaous worked in the company as "director in charge of mission".[5]
