TBWA\RAAD Middle East has named Walid Kanaan as its Chief Creative Officer to lead the agency’s creative teams throughout the region.
Effective September 1, Kanaan will be based principally in Beirut, Lebanon, and Dubai, UAE and will provide dynamic new leadership to TBWA\RAAD’s dedicated network of creative resources across its regional offices in UAE, KSA and Qatar.
Reda Raad, CEO of TBWA\RAAD Middle East, said, “This key appointment fulfils our future leadership vision and management structure, having recently put in place new managing directors at our Ketchum, Integer and Saudi Arabian operations.”
Prior to taking up his appointment at TBWA\RAAD Kanaan was Chief Creative Officer for BBDO across the Levant and KSA.
“The MENA region is more volatile than ever in terms of business opportunities and new market directions and dynamics. The environment is easily one of the most competitive in the world which makes joining TBWA\RAAD at this time in its impressive history a truly strategic career move,” said Kanaan.
