Ibrahim Alabbasi

Sponsorship Activation Manager @ Red Sea Film Foundation

About

Passionate about creating high-impact sponsorships, building strategic partnerships, and leading large-scale projects, I specialize in securing corporate sponsorships, executing brand activations, and optimizing stakeholder engagement to drive business success. With a Master’s degree in Business Administration (Enterprise Resource Planning) and PMP certification, I bring a structured, results-oriented approach to sponsorship and project management. Throughout my career, I have led multi-million-dollar sponsorship deals, elevated brand visibility through strategic activations, and forged long-term corporate partnerships. At the Red Sea Film Festival, I lead sponsorship activations, contract negotiations, and strategic partnerships that enhance brand presence and audience engagement. Previously, at Panda Retail, RISE (Saudi Pro League), and Alhamrani Universal, I managed sponsorship portfolios, developed revenue-generating partnerships, and executed high-profile projects in collaboration with key stakeholders. I thrive on turning ideas into successful sponsorship opportunities by aligning brand objectives, corporate partnerships, and audience engagement strategies. If you’re looking for a strategic leader in sponsorship and project management, let’s connect to explore impactful collaborations!
