Profile

Marketing that
pays for itself

Strategy first, then the content and the ads that carry it, measured until the numbers hold.

I'm Areeg, a digital marketing strategist who plans the campaign and runs it.

I've spent more than four years in digital marketing: building strategies, writing content, and running the ads that have to pay for themselves.

My work moves between markets. Abaya and cosmetics brands in Saudi Arabia, a pet brand in Kuwait, an events app in Qatar, solar energy for farmers in Upper Egypt. Each one starts with the audience, not the platform.

I also teach. Since 2024 I've trained more than 100 learners, graduates and founders across Egypt, from NTI cohorts in Aswan to startup teams at Creativa Qena.

Process

How I build
a campaign

The same six steps run through every plan above, whatever the market or the budget.

  1. 01

    Research

    Market, competitors and a SWOT before a single post.

  2. 02

    Audience

    Segments and personas: who buys, where they scroll, what they need.

  3. 03

    Positioning

    One message and one big idea the brand can own.

  4. 04

    Content

    Pillars, mix and a monthly calendar the team can run.

  5. 05

    Paid media

    Objectives by month, a budget split, campaigns built to convert.

  6. 06

    Measure

    KPIs, reports and the next optimization, every month.
