Planning and concept

Turned marketing goals into event concepts across every format: festivals, concerts, exhibitions, university activations, Ramadan programmes and national occasions. Each format had its own audience, so each got its own brief.

Content and reporting

Briefed photo and video crews shot by shot, down to how the final reel should feel. After each event I delivered a full report to management and the raw material to the social media team.

Gaza · 2024 – 2026

Events in wartime

Through the war, I led Jawwal's events and activities in Gaza. With my team, we delivered some of the largest events for children and families held during the war, many of them in displacement camps: clowns and puppet shows, simple circus acts, competitions for children and adults, prizes and sweets.

The moment I remember most is when the clowns walked in and the parents began to smile, often before their children did.
