Campaign’s Digital Faces to Watch 2021 —Islam Raslan, Manager – Digital Performance & Programmatic, OMG
Age: 29
Nominated by Mourad Sioufi, Digital Director, OMG
Over the course of my 10 years within the Digital landscape, I have met very few people with a proper understanding of what performance marketing is, the same way Islam Raslan has. His knowledge across the digital ecosystem is second to none, from the deepest technical know-how within every system he has worked in, to truly correlating media strategies based on client brand and business KPIs.
It is not only about his wealth of knowledge, yet more importantly about his hunger to constantly grow it, and the endless support he gave everyone.
At OMD we had an internal saying based on a local Google campaign, and that was “Ask Islam”.
