Project History
Real Estate Media Buying
- **880 ** — Real Estate Leads in 8 Hours
- 25% — Marketing Qualified Leads
The client was hosting a major real estate event in Egypt and needed to generate high-quality leads in a very short timeframe. With only a few hours before launch and strict CPL targets, the goal was to fill the event pipeline fast while ensuring the leads were verified and sales-ready.
I developed and executed a comprehensive performance campaign from scratch, starting with data-driven audience segmentation and high-converting ad creatives. Using Meta Ads Manager, I ran multiple campaign variations from three different pages, targeting different buyer personas and cities across Egypt, while closely monitoring performance and applying real-time optimization to scale the best-performing ad sets.
Generated 880 qualified leads in eight hours with a cost per lead (CPL) 45% below industry average and 25% marketing qualified leads (MQLs), filling the event pipeline and positioning the client among Egypt’s top-performing real estate exhibitors.
Fashion Campaign from Zero to Hero
- 45% — Revenue Growth
- 10 Times — Return on Ad Spent
The brand required a high-impact fashion campaign to enhance its image and improve its eCommerce performance. Previous visuals lacked consistency and didn’t reflect the premium positioning needed to stand out in both local and international markets.
I led and managed a 25-person production crew, overseeing the full shoot from concept to post-production. The campaign was executed with a clear storytelling direction, styled to align with global fashion standards. Through meticulous creative direction, coordination, and quality control, the shoot achieved editorial-level results that resonated with target audiences.
Featured in Roidx Magazine Paris and other global outlets, boosted brand visibility, and drove a 45% eCommerce revenue increase, establishing the brand as a leading emerging fashion label in the region.
Edtech Regional Expansion
- Over 1,000 — Students
- SAR 1 Million — in Revenue
- SAR 15 — Average Cost per Lead
- 10% — Average Conversion Rate
The client aimed to expand their high-ticket presentation skills course into the Saudi market, a region with distinct cultural nuances and lower trust in online education. The main challenge was to localize the brand and generate qualified enrollments at scale.
I led the complete go-to-market strategy for expanding a high-ticket presentation skills course into Saudi Arabia, overseeing market research, audience segmentation, and competitor analysis. I developed localized messaging, landing pages, and Arabic ad creatives, ensuring cultural alignment and high engagement. I also managed LinkedIn and Meta campaigns with conversion-optimized funnels and A/B-tested copy, building brand trust and driving consistent, qualified leads in a premium niche.
Expanded the brand into Saudi Arabia, achieving over 1,000 student enrollments and a strong market presence within two years, demonstrating the scalability and demand for high-ticket educational programs in the GCC region.
300% eCommerce Growth for Fashion Retail
- EGP 16 Milion — in Revenue
- 6Times — ROAS
- 300% — eCommerce Growth in 1 Year
Despite being one of Egypt’s most established fashion brands, with over 30 years in the market and 80 physical stores, the brand struggled to translate its retail success into eCommerce performance. Online sales were stagnant, creatives were outdated, and digital campaigns lacked structure and scalability.
I led a comprehensive digital transformation for the brand’s online presence, beginning with a creative overhaul to modernize its visual identity and advertising communication. I restructured the Shopify store for faster navigation, mobile optimization, and improved conversion tracking. Then, I developed a comprehensive media plan that covered Meta and Google Ads, utilizing segmented audience funnels and data-driven retargeting to optimize sales efficiency and scale profitably.
Generated over EGP 16 million in eCommerce sales, marking a 300% increase from the previous year, with sixfold average ROAS, reviving online performance and positioning the brand as a leading digital player in Egypt’s fashion retail industry.
