MEAComS goes from continent to continent    October 2019

Our journey from Africa to Asia is one of learning though personal and professional development, and new experiences bringing joy beyond imagination. The many adventures of MEAComS bless me with opportunities to share so many experiences; like the time spent in Vietnam, which brought challenges and plenty of fun. I also recall Ethiopia, as MEAComS took part in Edelman’s Africa affiliate summit 2019. All bring more learnings, experience and adventure to our business. On top of this, MEAComS has a new digital arm, called “TheGingerFirm”.

Our clients’ activities continue non-stop. Earlier this year with Nissan Egypt, as a top local market performer in five years; Xioami, which launched four new phones; Gilead Sciences launching its new awareness campaign; GSK commemorating the Voltaren Emulgel semi-solid production line; and Juniper Network’s CEO stressing the importance of Digital Transformation Projects in Egypt.

MEAComS Turns 10     January 2019

It is our 10th Anniversary!

As I am writing this letter, I cannot quite believe that it has been ten years since launching MEAComS. In April 2008, I was discussing with my friend the idea of establishing my own business and one thing led to another and we began brainstorming business names. Ever since that moment, I knew deep down that my goal was to start my own business and I worked very hard to realize my dream.

But dreaming is not enough. What differentiates MEAComS from other agencies is our understanding our local, regional and global clients and providing them with strategic, integrated communications and effective implementation to support our clients short and long-term business goals.
