For Saudi & Gulf executives

Build a marketing department that drives revenue.

A practical playbook for Saudi and Gulf executives who are done gambling on marketing - and ready to build a function that scales the business.

Organizations we've worked with
01The symptoms

Sound familiar?

01

Budget with nothing to show

You've spent real dollars on agencies and campaigns - and can't point to a single sale they produced.

02

Sales carries everything

Your sales team is carrying the entire company, and you know that won't hold as you grow.

03

You manage the marketer

You hired a marketing person - and now you're the one managing them. Nothing has changed.

04

The budget is a bet

Every quarter, the marketing budget feels like a bet - not an investment.

05

No blueprint to scale

You know you need to scale, but not what a marketing department should even look like.

06

Competitors everywhere

Competitors who aren't better than you keep showing up everywhere - and you're not sure how.

02What we believe

You deserve more from marketing.

You've built real products and earned real customers through sales and reputation. You shouldn't have to guess whether your marketing is working - or whether it's just expensive noise.

A company that builds something worth buying deserves a marketing function that can prove its worth.

02Why listen to us

We've lived this problem. And we've fixed it.

Redha Alayesh, author of Building Your Marketing Department
The author, on the ground in Riyadh

We understand the problem because we've lived it. We've sat in the boardrooms of sales-led Gulf companies and watched smart leaders burn budget on marketing that couldn't prove a single dollar of return.

And we've fixed it. Across 40+ marketing departments in the GCC and internationally - from Alyaseen Agri and Ithra to IBM and the Saudi Esports Federation - we worked on the marketing function, some of them from the ground up, and turned it into a measurable revenue engine. And we've built three companies of our own - losing more than $300,000 of our personal money along the way. We understand what's at stake, because we've paid for the lessons ourselves.

03The BUILD framework

A blueprint built for how the Gulf actually works.
