Skill set
Anthony in a few words
I’m a young Production Manager passionate about bringing ideas to life. With over 3 years of experience working on 50+ commercial projects for multinational clients across the MENA region, I specialize in blending creativity with strategy to deliver impactful results.
In my previous role at The Brandizers, I collaborated with global brands such as L'Oréal, P&G, and Leo Burnett, building strong supplier connections throughout the GCC. My expertise includes managing the production process from start to finish, aligning client visions with technical execution, and solving unique challenges to ensure every campaign’s success.
My work ethic, attention to detail and ability to foster collaboration across diverse teams have been key to my success. Moving forward, I aim to create inspiring productions that push boundaries and connect with audiences worldwide.
