• Social Media: I set-up a company-wide social media strategy that integrated our marketing, retail, and CRM departments’ objectives and targets. I also proposed and managed bespoke social media plans and budgets for all high-profile brands, as well as designed distinctive voices and content for each. I ensured my team’s compliance with brands’ style guidelines and specific work orders. I consulted with the marketing team to implement new and efficient content approval and scheduling systems. I was responsible for covering live events, press trips, and photoshoots. My analytical background was relied often on to review, analyze, and report on campaigns’ effectiveness.

• Dubai Watch Week (“DWW”): I lead our social media team to devise and execute the social content calendar for nearly six months leading to one of the largest watch events worldwide. I worked with the design and editorial teams as well as the brands themselves to create worldwide online frenzy, and was also responsible for updating DWW’s WordPress website content. I liaised directly with various social media influencers to coordinate and maximize the event’s outreach. In light of DWW’s 2017 success, this event had been renewed to take place in 2019.
