My Work experience

I am a dynamic, talented and highly motivated marketing enthusiast, aspiring to advance my career in marketing, advertising and PR, and create a powerful presence and impact in social media in the Middle East. Despite my young age, I've had the opportunity to accumulate and gain experience in the Marketing field mainly and in other related fields that you can find in full in my resume. My most relevant work experience include:


Marketing Adviser at Promax Media Company
(April 2009 - June 2010)


As a Marketing Adviser at Promax Media Company, Dammam -KSA, that specializes in corporate identity, my job entailed giving recommendations on all matters involving clients' marketing needs, customer relationship management, public relations, and internal management. I also handled copy writing of branding, slogans, and detailed corporate profiles in English and Arabic, and I often also provided translation services.  I also assisted in new companies' strategic planning by setting their corporate missions, visions and goals. Furthermore, I devised the strategic social media plan for Promax to gain a foothold in digital marketing, and co-planned for it to take on a stronger role in communications.

English Lecturer at Arab Open University
(March 2008 - June 2009)


Teaching Pre-Intermediary English with modern methods that I devised and applied; my classes always had the highest grades’ rates, and highest students’ demands for enrolment. My teaching method involves activities pertaining to students’ young ages and their interests, making the process of learning a fun and beneficial interaction rather than a heavy chore. I’m always innovating in lessons’ delivery by including various presentation aids such as audio (social conversations, recorded interviews, etc.), video (movie clips, commercials, converted powerpoint slides, etc), and interactive exercises such as games and roleplay. I also encourage my students to widen their knowledge to other related areas of study by engaging in internet researches, social reports, and recreational projects.
It was really fun teaching the students, and what I enjoyed most is the amount of friends I got out of it. Unfortunately, since teaching English doesn't fall in line with my career goals, and it was a really tiring and time-consuming job, I decided to put that on hold until I get the opportunity to teach Business classes. I still get constant requests from the principle, the teachers, and the students to go back.


Account Executive at A Private Marketing & Advertising Agency
(February  2007 - September 2008)


In the beginning of my marketing career, I handled a lot of responsibilities and tasks which helped in shaping me and my future to set me for a bigger role.
I got much experience developing campaigns according to clients' objectives and goals after I met with them and helped bring both our visions together. After I developed the campaigns, I worked on implementing, managing and optimizing them in line with the set goals. Throughout campaigns, I would provide regular reports on their status, strategy and performance, both internally to management and to clients. I'd also keep making  recommendations along the way whenever there was needs for update or a change in strategy and tactics.
Along with campaign management, I arranged for effective distribution of marketing materials and performed day-to-day liaison with Management, Creative, Production, Media, and vendors (printing house, etc. where applicable) to assure that all tasks concur with campaign objectives. I also managed the production of marketing materials, including product slogans, leaflets, flyers, brochures; sales aids and other promotional literature. That involved copy writing and proofreading in English and Arabic, and liaising with designers and printers. To make sure that campaigns were developed according to clients' preferences and needs, I assumed ongoing project-related communication and presentations, and ensured effective account management by regular communication with clients.
