Dubai, United Arab Emirates -Wednesday, April 25th 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]

News Services Group (NSG) officially announces the rebranding of its news distribution arm ME NewsWire to AETOSWire.

Tony AbiHanna, President and CEO of NSG, AETOSWire and Esmaa News, explained the reason behind this timely move: “In 10 years, we have grown exponentially as a company. Middle East (ME) NewsWire as a name no longer encompasses the real essence and depth of our services. Hence, we handpicked a new brand name that we believe reflects who we are now and will continue to embody us in the future.”

The name “AETOS” captures the heart and soul of the company’s services. It’s derived from Greek Mythology, AETOS DIOS, which translates to “The Eagle of Zeus.”

AETOS is the Giant, Trusted, Loyal, Fast and Personal Messenger of Zeus, the very same characteristics that the company brings to its valued and esteemed clientele.
