Client Success and Account Strategy
Long-term partnership management for complex, multi-stakeholder accounts. I build the trust that keeps clients for 5 years on average. Strategy, reporting, escalation, upselling, all personally owned.
— The Story
In 2010, I joined Ubrik Media as their first ever digital marketing hire, with no formal training and a brief that said: figure it out.
I did. For five years I learned every corner of the industry from media buying, performance, SEO, social, web, content, to operations, before taking a year's break. Then came back to Ubrik at a senior level, and never looked back.
Today, I lead client success for a Dubai-based agency managing a multitude of accounts across the Middle East and USA. I chair weekly calls with marketing specialists, business decision makers, associated teams, and technology experts, make hard decisions, solving for challenges, building partnerships that last on trust, not just retainers.
“Strategy is just 30% of the job. Relationships are the other 70%.”

— What I Do
Long-term partnership management for complex, multi-stakeholder accounts. I build the trust that keeps clients for 5 years on average. Strategy, reporting, escalation, upselling, all personally owned.
Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Bing, WhatsApp. Multi-market paid media with a relentless focus on SQL quality, CPL, and ROI. From test budgets to enterprise-level spend across 5 simultaneous markets.
HubSpot certified across Marketing, Sales, and Content. CRM implementation, lead nurturing workflows, pipeline management, and data-driven funnel optimisation from top to bottom.
— Highlights
Team Ubrik, under the strategy of its founder Monash Unny, was the core behind migrating giants such as Damac Properties from offline spending to online promotions, and later scaling their digital presence into a market-defining operation.

My first project was for the KSA market, where local penetration, deemed impossible by larger competitors, was translated into tangible success via targeted outreach, phone calls, and direct email. Sometimes the scrappiest approach wins.
With on-the-ground knowledge of the target market and my clients' ICP, I assist with business-related decision-making beyond simply handling growth marketing. Mint Jewels is a fine example of this, growing from a local retailer to a recognisable digital brand.
