Majdi Ghraizi, Co-Founder and General Manager, Bold Influence, has been recognised on Campaign Middle East’s 40 Over 40, which honours leaders who have shaped the regional brand and marketing industry over the past 15 years and more.

This is not a ranking. It is the first edition of an annual platform created to spotlight senior industry figures aged 40 and older. They represent different disciplines and different leadership styles but are all builders of brands and businesses.

These have been recommended as caretakers of client trust and custodians of culture. The 40 over 40 list celebrates the people who have moved the needle – not for a season or for a single campaign cycle, but for several years.


Throughout his career, Majdi Ghraizi has led communications and brand-building initiatives for regional and global organisations including Google, LG, Nissan Middle East, IKEA, Flynas, Saudi Payments, Snapchat and Majid Al Futtaim.

His experience spans strategic communications, executive positioning, reputation management and integrated marketing campaigns.

In 2024, Ghraizi established Bold Influence with a vision of delivering strategic communications combining business insight, modern storytelling and reputation-led advisory services.

Under his leadership, the agency has built a diverse client portfolio and strengthened its presence within Saudi Arabia’s communications landscape.


TOP ACHIEVEMENTS OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS

Successfully launched and established Bold Influence as a new communications consultancy, building its market presence, service offering, and operating model from the ground up.

Introduced the ‘Fresh Narratives’ approach as the agency’s core methodology, helping differentiate the business through strategic thinking, modern communications and reputation-focused advisory services.

Led business development efforts, secured key client relationships, expanded industry networks and supported the delivery of high-impact campaigns across multiple sectors.
