iProspect, the Dentsu Aegis Network digital performance agency, has appointed Iyad Tibi as Regional General Manager.
Iyad returns to iProspect, where he previously held the position of Search Director, after four years heading Reprise MENA. With over 14 years of pure digital experience in branding, direct response, strategy planning & execution, operations management and technology on-boarding, he brings a wealth of regional knowledge and expertise. With a focus on digital performance marketing, he has worked with some of the region’s leading agencies including DigitasLBi and Flip (Publicis.Sapient).
In his new position, Iyad will report directly to Michael Nederlof, CEO of Dentsu Aegis Network MENA and will focus on expanding iProspect’s product offering, winning new business and sustaining organic business growth across key clients including General Motors, Mastercard, Microsoft and Philips. Iyad will also be tasked with scaling the newly launched iProspect operations in Saudi Arabia and Egypt where iProspect has introduced a complete suite of digital marketing services to market, including search optimisation, performance, content, online customer conversion strategies, comparison shopping engines and social.
Iyad will spearhead the regional iProspect management team, which is led by Ozal Ergen in the UAE, Ruark Williams in Saudi Arabia and Mourad Elsioufi in Egypt, respectively. The launch of iProspect in Saudi Arabia and Egypt bolsters the digital capabilities already offered by sister agency Carat in both markets, as well as Isobar in Egypt. Together the brands will leverage Dentsu Aegis’ unique operating model in these key markets for an integrated offering across all communication platforms, with the experience and expertise of dedicated specialists across media, digital creative and digital performance.
