The Saudi Local Content and General Procurement Authority launched the "Inherently Local" campaign to highlight the profound impact local businesses have on the economy when they choose to work with local talent and suppliers. The campaign underscores the positive ripple effects of these decisions, which benefit various aspects of the economy, from industry growth to job creation.

"Inherently Local" aims to educate small business owners about the significance of their choices in fostering a robust local economy. The campaign emphasizes how collaborating with local suppliers and hiring local talent can lead to a stronger, more resilient economic environment. By doing so, businesses not only support their immediate community but also contribute to the broader national economic landscape.

The campaign's core message is conveyed through a series of engaging videos on social media platforms. These videos feature real-life stories of small business owners who have successfully integrated local talent and suppliers into their operations. Each story illustrates the tangible benefits of these decisions, such as increased business efficiency, higher quality products, and enhanced community ties.

One of the key components of the campaign is the depiction of the ripple effect. The videos visually demonstrate how one business's decision to go local can lead to a chain reaction of positive outcomes. For instance, a local bakery that sources ingredients from nearby farms not only improves its product quality but also boosts the agricultural sector. This, in turn, creates more jobs and encourages other businesses to follow suit, fostering a thriving local economy.

"Inherently Local" also includes interactive elements to engage the public and small business community. Social media challenges and webinars encourage business owners to share their stories and experiences of working with local suppliers and talent. These platforms provide a space for networking, knowledge sharing, and inspiration.

The campaign's educational workshops and seminars further reinforce its message by offering practical advice and resources for small business owners. These sessions cover topics such as finding local suppliers, building strong community partnerships, and understanding the long-term economic benefits of local collaboration.
