      • Sep 2020 - Mar 2022

      I introduced a new strategy that I named "the power of the opposite" in the month of September 2020 with an anticipation of a totally different atmosphere in the market basing on the ever-changing behaviors of the audiences at play and the anticipation that many people will be looking at revival from the traumatic business year 2020. And in this strategy, I capitalized on selling my passion and information instead of marketing the services as provided for by the company. Well it was a challenge worthy of taking given its fruits. In February 2021, the coachlink platform (one of our clients I was directly handling) was awarded "the best online coaching platform in UAE" in the MEA Markets business awards, while as Rewind production fze, on the other hand, was named on the list of the "Top 25 Mobile Apps Development companies in UAE. My role mostly was to draft strategies, advice clienteles and co-workers about the required creatives, lead the digital branding of internal projects and most challenging clients, and manage a team of two (2) SEO specialists. I am integral in all Search engine marketing processes (SEM) which includes; Pay per click services (PPC), Search engine optimization (SEO), Social media marketing (SMM), and App store optimization (ASO). I am highly enthusiastic about research and data visualization with a great passion to learn and putting into play what I have learned to my benefit and so the organization. Show less
