Understand the business
I start with the product, target audience, competitors, sales process and current marketing performance.
Marketing Specialist / Digital Marketing Manager
I help businesses turn marketing into a structured growth system — from strategy and content to paid acquisition, analytics and execution.
Dubai-based marketer with 3+ years of experience working with businesses across the UAE, Europe, CIS and North America.
02 / APPROACH
My role is to understand the business, the customer and the market, then build and manage the marketing activities around that.
I start with the product, target audience, competitors, sales process and current marketing performance.
I define priorities, channels, campaigns, content needs and the main points of customer communication.
I work with paid advertising, search, social media, content, partnerships and other relevant acquisition channels.
I look at what happens after the first contact: enquiries, sales process, CRM, follow-up, repeat purchases and LTV.
I track performance, compare channels, analyse results and adjust activities based on data.
For me, marketing is the full process: understanding the business, attracting the right audience, helping convert that audience into customers and keeping those customers engaged.
03 / WORK & INSPIRATION
A selection of projects I’ve worked on and examples that reflect the marketing and visual thinking I value.
04 / TOOLKIT
I use these platforms to create content, run campaigns and understand what the results mean for the business.
Tools change. The ability to understand the customer journey and business economics matters more.
I develop content ideas, write copy, take photos and film videos. Then I turn that material into posts and Reels, using AI tools where they help.
I adapt content for different social platforms and audience touchpoints.
I set up paid campaigns to reach relevant audiences and support growth.
I review performance, user behaviour and reports to understand what works.
05 / HOW I WORK
I take responsibility for the full process and coordinate the people needed to make it happen.
Goals and priorities
Specialists when needed
I can plan and produce content independently, bringing in specialists whenever an idea calls for it.
For larger productions, I coordinate videographers, photographers, designers, models and developers. Hands-on when needed. Strategic when needed.
06 / EXPERIENCE
I spent several years working in a marketing environment with different clients, industries and markets.That experience taught me to understand businesses quickly, communicate with founders and teams, coordinate specialists and make decisions based on both marketing data and commercial goals.
