Marketing & Corporate Communications Director @ مجموعة سالم بالحمر القابضة | Salem Balhamer Holding Group
About
I'm a marketer who came up through journalism, which is why I care as much about whether a message lands as whether it hits the numbers. Today I lead marketing and corporate communications for a portfolio of 23+ subsidiary brands spanning e-commerce, industrial manufacturing, real estate, and professional services across Saudi Arabia. Over nine years, I've grown from content and social specialist roles into marketing leadership, building strategies that turn brand visibility into measurable business results. I scaled one brand's social reach from 25K to 2M+ per quarter through a content and platform overhaul, led multi-brand campaigns, and now direct a 11-person cross-functional team aligning marketing with corporate goals. What sets my work apart is the blend behind it: US journalism training paired with deep GCC market fluency, and the ability to operate natively in both English and Arabic. That combination lets me craft messaging that resonates locally while meeting international standards, whether I'm shaping brand strategy, leading digital marketing and CX, or building internal initiatives that genuinely engage teams (like a recent company-wide challenge that mobilized 130+ people across 6.1 million steps). I'm passionate about marketing that's both creative and accountable, work that connects with people and shows up in the numbers. Areas I focus on: Brand & Marketing Strategy · Digital Marketing · Corporate Communications · Social Media · Customer Experience (CX) · Team Leadership
