A new age adman and corporate brand storyteller with over 20 years experience in brand strategy, marketing communications and advertising, spanning two continents in two high profile regions; MENA and Europe.
Middle East /N. Africa Experience
The first 10 years of my career were spent in the Middle East/North Africa working on brand communication strategies and launch campaigns for some of the world’s largest brand owners including Nestle, L’Oreal and Philip Morris.
Europe Experience
In 2002 I moved to the UK and for the last 10 years my focus switched to digital marketing and advertising.
I’ve spent the last 7 years working in large media agency environments setting up and managing the SEO and Inbound Marketing departments for both Aegis‘ Diffiniti (now iProspect) and WPP‘s MediaCom.
During that time I’ve also been fortunate to work with more awesome brands including Dell, Sainsbury’s, IKEA, Shell, Deutsche Bank and VW.
Until recently, I was part of the management team heading up MediaCom Beyond Advertising (MBA), the content marketing division of the UK’s largest media planning and buying agency.
In September 2012 I assumed the role of Chief Strategy Officer at Sandstorm Digital in Dubai, UAE.
