Rickson Lucas
Digital, Programmatic, and Advertising in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
I am a Strategic Sales and Business Development Professional with over 15 years of UAE work experience across roles in both digital and traditional media strategy planning/advertising, client servicing, business development, media sales, tactical activations, promotions, sponsorships and events. I actively seek new challenges. My experience and insights into the Middle East market are an invaluable asset.
My experience ranges across Strategy, Sales, Operations and Business Development in the UAE more specifically in Dubai and then ranges across the Middle East. My strong market knowledge and experience, in combination with client servicing and always measuring sales efforts have resulted in immense success. What sales people need is to build trust and relationships with their clients in an honest and open environment. If you have passion, believe in your product/service and want to engage in spreading the word, you’ve found a valuable partner.
Colleagues know me as a team player who can always be trusted to excite the team towards meeting group objectives. But I know that the client’s business comes first, and I never try to impose my ideas on others. Instead, I spend a lot of time understanding the business and the audience before suggesting ideas. I can(and often do) work well alone, but I’m at my best collaborating with others.
Work hard, work smart and enjoy what you do.
