Crimtan CEO Paul Goad says of Philippe’s move to Crimtan:
“Now is a particularly exciting time for Crimtan in MENA. After an especially tricky 18 months for the travel and hospitality sector, things are looking up, and Crimtan is exceptionally well placed to help brands reach those all-important customers with Philippe on board.
“Not only do we have a strong track record of success in the region, with clients like Abu Dhabi Culture and Tourism (whose CTR we beat by 400 per cent) and Jazeera Airways (for whom we delivered an ROI of 20:1), but our partnership with ADARA means we have access to invaluable travel data we can use to power dynamic creative ads that deliver unbeatable results for ambitious travel and hospitality brands.
“As a company, we are particularly excited about the prospects for brands operating in Saudi Arabia as they open up for inbound travel.”
And Philippe says:
“I was looking for a major change in my career when I got the opportunity to find Crimtan. I am delighted to work for an energetic company that offers top-notch digital solutions to both agencies and clients.
“Coming from a large corporation where massive changes happen very slowly, I saw in Crimtan the young company capable of pivoting and adapting to any market dynamic.
“Adding to the agility of the company, Crimtan offers precisely what brands are looking for after difficult times like Covid: PERFORMANCE => higher ROI on their marketing budget spent.”
