I am a product and brand marketer with agency and in-house experience working across corporate, brand and product marketing. I have also worked across executive, customer and employee communications. I’ve been blessed to have worked with some of the best brands and startups in the region, helping deliver business impact. I’m curious and find myself to be a multi-passionate generalist - which has helped me stay ahead by offering diversity in thinking and execution. I am experienced in communications, paid, SEO, earned and integrated media disciplines. I love to speak, write and connect. I play basketball 🏀, hockey 🏑 and love to swim 🏊♂️. I have always loved a hike to the mountains 🚵🏾♂️, a visit to the beach 🌊 or a ride to the countryside on a motorbike 🛵.I am currently managing marketing and business functions of a health-tech brand, while doing personal and brand marketing consultations, I love to help businesses grow.I work with companies and people across a wide range of industries to help them reach their objectives. I’m quick to respond, thoughtful, and meticulous. I’m proactive, intuitive, and business-minded. Stories should be strategic, I can help not only tell brand stories but build the foundations from which great stories can be told.From my first career as a digital marketer to the interview-inspired journalist to the copywriting and content creation work I do today, there’s nothing I love more than sitting down with another human to uncover the story and heart behind their work.Your voice is powerful. Your work is powerful. And your story needs to be powerful enough to turn your readers and viewers into the clients and customers you’ve been dreaming about. And we can do that – we just have to make it count!The World is full of so many beautiful hearts, work and events – yet to be discovered and told.Team work is something I love to engage in as in accordance to my belief that ‘ every one of us is unique and the way we use that particular uniqueness defines who we are!” I would love to work for companies where there will be mutual respect and support. I look forward to a culture that is growth oriented, challenges me and helps me along the way. I would love to work with teams as families; together as one!ammarahamed.life
