  My journey at The National Media was incredibly remarkable as it was my first job in the UAE. I joined the company as a PR Account Executive and left it as an Associate Account Manager. My hard work and endless passion for learning were crowned in 2011 by receiving the Falcon Award as the best employee of the year.During that time I managed an interesting portfolio of clients including Juma Al Majid Group, Dubai Quality Group (DQG), Humaid bin Rashid Al Nouimi Foundation, Zayed University, Youth Congress, Oprah Studios, Hyundai Motors, KIA Motors, among others.

  ASDA'A BCW

  Oct 2012 - Jan 2014

  PR Account Manager

  Although my journey at Asda'a BCW was short, it was transformational on personal and professional levels. I had the opportunity to work with genius minds and learn from some of the most influential and inspiring communication experts in the region. Working at a multi-cultural company that owns offices across the globe, has shaped my mindset to always think big and believe that sky is the limit. However, my journey at Asda'a BCW wasn’t easy. It was very challenging as I managed one of the biggest government accounts in Dubai, covering client counsel, press office, crisis communication, media relations, social media, digital content, etc. I also contributed to some interesting accounts including Emaar, Dubai Culture, Turkish Airlines, and OSN, just to name a few.After six months of joining the company, I received the ‘A' Award as the best employee. It was the first edition of the award, and I was successful and dedicated enough to be the first one to receive it from the CEO at a special ceremony. Show less
