Campaign’s Digital to Watch 2023 – Jio El Wadi, Executive – Strategy & Insights, Digitas – Publicis Groupe
Age: 22
Nominated by Tony Wazen, Chief Executive Officer – Digitas ME:
I recommend Jio without reservation as I am confident that he will be a great addition to the program. As a talent, he has shown excellent communication skills and is consistently exceeding expectations by being charismatic, well-spoken, and highly driven. He is a very reliable talent, works well under pressure, and has delivered outstanding work in the organization ending with him representing Digitas in the Young Lynx Academy program and being a part of the winning team. Jio is a great asset, creative, detailed oriented, and above all very passionate about his work and projects.
Career highlights
Boundaries are invisible lines that I don’t see. I always try to find a way to crack cases and overcome all obstacles to create opportunities in the face of uncertainty. Since joining Digitas – Publicis Groupe, I have been actively working on acquiring new business and pitches as well as creating full-funnel strategies for many key brands in the region. Moreover, I have been nominated as the top learner ranking in the group. Furthermore, I was chosen to participate in the recent Young Lynx Academy 2023 and was honored to be part of the winning team in the hack challenge.
Guiding principles
I strongly believe that to achieve your goals and exceed expectations while feeling fulfilled, you have to work hard by emphasizing quality and striving for efficiency. However, success is collaborative and requires you to always learn, communicate effectively, and work together as a unified team.
Side hustle
In my free time, I always like to seek the next big adventures (Skydiving, Motocross, Bungee jumping). I’m a risk-taker who is willing to go above and beyond to achieve my goals and feed my passion and adrenaline. Some people think I’m crazy, but I think I’m just curious.
