Campaign’s PR to Watch 2023 – Jana Al Jilani, Account Executive, Gambit Communications
Age: 24
Nominated by Jamal Almawed, Founder & Managing Director:
“PR is one of those unique fields where if you have the right skillset and mindset, you can make the career switch at any time in your life and thrive. Jana is a testament to that as she came across Gambit in a moment of serendipity, and it opened the door to a fantastic journey for her with us. She has that rare trifecta of natural charisma and strong technical skills underpinned by a grounded work ethic, all of which make her a leader even at the junior level. The sky is her limit.”
Career highlights
I am a trilingual Palestinian Jordanian PR professional handling automotive comms at Gambit Communications. I graduated with a degree in Management Information Systems from the University of Jordan in the midst of the COVID pandemic, and took the tough decision to leave my home country, family, and friends and move to the UAE. Starting in-house at Stellantis Middle East with brands such as Jeep, Dodge and Alfa Romeo, I made the switch agency side for a new career path with Gambit and never looked back! I’m now proud to be part of their award-winning Porsche team, handling brand and dealers across the region.
Guiding principles
You can do anything you put your heart, mind, and soul into. Far more than you can imagine. Be fearless. Do it.
Side hustle
Not a side hustle but I enjoy cycling and exploring new restaurants always.
