Profile
Marketing manager focused on building and growing demand for brands in the Saudi market, with 8 years of experience, 4 of them in management. I turn strategy into a clear execution plan and lead it with a team covering copy, video production, paid media and analysis. I measure on real cost per outcome — cost per lead, per enrolment, per procedure — not on impressions. Over my career I have worked with 50 clients across the Egyptian and Saudi markets.
