Digital Marketing Strategist and Content Specialist shaping MENA brands’ growth through content ecosystems and data-driven campaigns.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Digital Marketing Strategist & Content Specialist with a demonstrated history of helping brands across the MENA region build meaningful connections with their audiences through impactful, data-driven marketing strategies. Throughout more than 10 years of experience in media, marketing, and advertising, I’ve worked with international brands, NGOs, and non-profit organizations to strengthen digital presence, increase engagement, and drive measurable business results.
With a BA (Hons) in Mass Communication and a deep passion for storytelling, I specialize in developing content ecosystems that align with brand objectives, customer journeys, and market dynamics. My expertise extends beyond creation to content strategy, digital marketing planning, brand messaging, campaign development, and performance-driven communication—grounded in SEO-focused content and online reputation management (ORM).
I also bring strong practical knowledge of conversion optimization, customer acquisition strategies, and performance marketing principles to maximize ROI. In roles such as Digital Marketing Strategist & Head of Content and Director of Media, Advertising, and Creative Marketing, I’ve owned end-to-end strategy and content execution—planning KPIs, managing cross-functional workflows, and delivering high-quality website, social, email, and campaign copy across platforms.
