International work and industry experience
As an Account Executive at Four Mind, a leading advertising agency in Iran, I worked with globally recognised brands, applying skills in campaign development and event management. I developed and launched campaigns that significantly increased brand visibility and audience engagement for international companies such as Novo Nordisk and Nestlé. Additionally, I organised and executed impactful events for Bel Group brands, including Rouzaneh, Kibi (formerly Kiri), and The Laughing Cow, as well as for Adorateb Company. This experience contributed to the success of these global brands in the Iranian market and enhanced strategic and creative abilities within a dynamic advertising environment.
