The Top 8 Digital Gurus in Dubai
Starting from scratch when you get into digital marketing is a big challenge. How do you begin to climb the ladder when you don’t have a clue where to start?
Bassem Saber is the first digital guru in Dubai that we recommend you learn from. He’s Igloo’s Head of Performance Marketing and has accumulated 9 years in the industry with leadership experience in other companies such as Cobone, where he served as vice-president.
The next spot on this list of digital gurus in Dubai deserves the placement –after all, he comes from an agency that literally has the word “gurus” in it. Saif Kidwai co-founded digital recruitment agency Digital Gurus in the UK back in 2008, before moving to their Dubai office to fill the role of Managing Director.
Sajid Sulaiman, the third name on our list, is a well-rounded individual. Aside from working as a digital marketing manager for the companies Qubes LLC and Speed House Group, he also does media production and website design.
Awad Abdelgayoum, the only independent agent on this list, is the fourth digital guru in Dubai that we recommend.
He’s been engaged in online marketing since 2006, serving in managerial and consultational positions for the Sky Telecom Group and elanat.com. Awad decided to strike out on his own in 2017 via his personal brand, Breaze8. From that point on, he worked with clients such as Mama Chia, Vilado Paris, Emarat Petroleum, and others, whilst publishing articles for PPC Graph on the side.
The next guru on this list also moved in from the UK to pursue excellence in Dubai.
Liam Chappells started out in marketing in 2011, when he became USEO next’s Head of Local Search. In the following year, he moved to Dubai and became USEO’s Head of Business Development.
Public speaker and trainer Ivan Budko earn the sixth spot on this list. He has roots in motivational training but eventually found himself immersed in the world of business and marketing.
Nearing the end of the list is one of the most experienced gurus here, Elie Khouri. He began his career in 1988 as Associate Managing Director for IMPACT BBDO, then became Regional Managing Director for Omnicom Media Group MENA.
This list’s final digital guru is Rayan Tarraf.
Before founding the Glimpse Digital Agency in 2017, Tarraf gained experience as Samsung’s Content and Digital Services Operations Manager, and as Novo Cinemas’ Head of Digital and Social Media.
