About

AKA Z3farana Esports and marketing professional focused on building and growing gaming communities across the MENA region. Currently working as a Social Media Manager for the Esports World Cup (EWC) — the world’s largest esports event — where I develop localized content strategies that connect global esports narratives with regional audiences. My experience spans social media strategy, community growth, esports team management, and live event coverage, allowing me to translate gaming culture into engaging digital experiences that bring fans closer to the competition. Previously, I worked across esports team management, tournament operations, and gaming marketing, which gives me a unique perspective when building social media strategies that balance both the competitive and community sides of esports.
