Charbel Fares

Working as a Senior Account Manager at Talks International Advertising – Beirut office.

I joined the agency in November 2011, ever since I'm handling a portfolio of local and regional clients (Dutch Boy – Golden Tulip Hotels (Tunisia, Bahrain, KSA, Lebanon & UAE) – CTS Travel & Tourism and many others). My role includes the following tasks: Account Management, Advertising & Marketing Consultancy, Media Planning & Buying, Production Management, Business Development & Branch Management (Accounting, Operations, Recruitment, Planning ...).

Prior to my current position, I started my advertising career back in 2008 with Promofix Advertising (part of J group) where I was exposed to the Advertising industry from a 360-degree perspective.

Given the fact that the agency is a medium sized one, it had no media unit nor a production department, I used to handle the clients' activities from A-Z (i.e.; from briefing to delivering the end job/service throughout the whole process; including Media services (Media planning & buying (responsible for creating & delivering the appropriate media plans to my clients, then buying it (TVs, Outdoors, Radio, Print, Online), production (handled TVCs, photo shoots from A-Z,(sometimes in house production), Print...)

I'm very passionate about the Advertising & Marketing industry in general, my excellent communication skills & creative thinking are the key tools for me to keep my clients happy and satisfied, my strategic thinking allows me to provide on brief ideas and successful plans.

What makes me different is the constant need to learn, to be challenged, to achieve set goals and my approach with people.

Would love to join an company that offers:

- A challenging environment

- Learning opportunities

- Exposure to outstanding standards
