COTZL Through the Eyes of the Media: Press Coverage & Recognition

2026-01-02

As the impact of COTZL Exhibitions continued to grow, media attention followed naturally. Various press outlets and media platforms began covering the exhibitions as a meaningful initiative supporting artisans and small business owners.

This coverage did not emerge as promotional content, but rather as a response to a real experience and a clear message centered on empowering local creativity and handmade craftsmanship.

Media Coverage Reflecting the Core Message

Press articles and media reports focused on the human and creative essence of Etlaa Lel Nour, highlighting:

The stories of participating artisans

The diversity of handmade and creative products

The importance of providing genuine platforms for small businesses

This approach helped deliver a balanced and authentic image of the exhibitions, free from exaggeration or artificial promotion.

From Exhibition Space to News Story

COTZL was not treated as a temporary event, but as an experience worth documenting.

As a result, the atmosphere of the exhibitions and the stories of the participants were transformed into press features and reports, reaching broader audiences and reinforcing the initiative’s role as a community-driven project with tangible impact.

Media as a Partner in Raising Awareness

Media coverage played an important role in raising awareness about the value of local products and handmade work, not only by reporting on the exhibitions, but by framing them within a broader conversation about creativity, craftsmanship, and the creative economy.

Credibility Built on Continuity

What strengthened the credibility of this coverage was the consistency and continuity of the exhibitions’ success. This allowed COTZL to be viewed by the media as a growing success story rather than a one-time event.
