Campaign’s PR to Watch 2023 – Hanaan Al-Khamis, Senior Communications Executive, Red Havas Middle East
Age: 29
Nominated by Nermeen Salama, Communications Director – Consumer PR:
Hanaan is an outstanding team member, highly motivated and always eager to learn more. She has been with Red Havas for almost two years and has been part of my team since then. Hanaan has been able to achieve great results from the start, which serve above and beyond her clients’ expectations.
Starting off as a Communications Executive in 2021, Hanaan was promoted this year as she proved herself remarkably within the fast-paced PR industry. She is definitely an asset to her team and clients, and goes above and beyond while she continuously thrives to work on her own development and career growth.
Career highlights
My diverse professional experience took me on a journey from Scotland to Dubai, across industries such as Retail, Marketing, Beauty and Hospitality and working with brands such as Damas and Jimmy Choo. This journey ultimately landed me in my happiest role yet, as Senior Communications Executive at Red Havas Middle East. For the past two years, Red Havas has given me the opportunity and support to propel my PR career in ways I had only dreamed of. Now, I proudly look back at the incredible brands I have handled and managed such as Charlotte Tilbury and the L’Oréal ACD portfolio with skincare brands such as La Roche Posay, Vichy, Skinceuticals and CeraVe and more.
Guiding principles
To me, kindness is the simplest and most powerful form of communication and connection in life. I love to approach life with a smile and make people smile around me, even if I have to bring out my silly side to get a smile out of you!
Side hustle
Nothing beats lying in a hammock in Fiji, where my heart, my soul and my stomach are happy!
