In his career spanning over 14 years, he’s worked in both offline and online media, across multiple markets, including Egypt, Qatar, and the UAE, and across multiple sectors, including FMCG, luxury and retail, banking, finance, and automotive. His strategic and analytical mind has helped him achieve great results in marketing strategy, account management, and business growth for brands as diverse as PepsiCo, Majid Al Futtaim and FIFA 2022 World Cup Qatar.
In their new attributions, Boulos and Hassan will support CEO Tarek Jaffar and their teams in articulating and realizing the vision encapsulated in OMD’s new positioning “We Create What’s Next”. Their roles will encompass building their teams further, innovating with both structure and services, and capitalizing on the agency’s values and points of difference.
