OUR
PEOPLE
Leadership Team
We're a team of creative storytellers and strategic thinkers. With a melting pot of nationalities, backgrounds and expertise, we bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and world-class talent to the table. While we are all unique in our own way, one common thread is our relentless drive to keep pushing our creative boundaries and produce results-driven work for our clients.
STRATEGY & ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
BRANDONBrandon is Andon's fiery head honcho. With a 'get it done' attitude, he has a solid track record when it comes to multidisciplinary leadership in sales, commercial, marketing, operations and finance. Experienced in strategy development and design, global product development, regional sales & marketing management and multi-country key accounts management, Brandon has transformed top-tier brands right across the Middle East, Africa, South America, Asia and North America. He also specialises in building effective, motivated, results-orientated teams that not only meet, but exceed client expectations. When not leading brainstorming sessions with the team (where pastries are always provided), he can be found on the golf course or doting on his little daughter.
DANIELLEDanielle is our energetic, highly-motivated Account Manager who manages Emirates SkyCargo and a number of Emirates Group projects, as well as Glander International Bunkering and Allied Transport. With a solid background in TV and film production, she has extensive experience in content development placing her as a key leader in managing many of our video and animation projects. With strong client relationships and an enthusiastic approach to any campaign, Danielle is a true asset to the Andon client servicing team. With Scottish roots, she is always up for a laugh and a new adventure. When she's not cooking up marketing strategies or briefing the team, you can find her travelling to exciting destinations dictated by good weather and even better food.
RASHARasha manages some of our key accounts at Andon, including Emirates Post, Dubai Financial Market and HAVI. With a strategic mind and creative eye, she oversees a team of designers and content creators in re-imagining brands and creating bespoke communications that meet our clients’ business objectives. Brands she has worked with include Mubadala, Majid Al Futtaim, Medcare, ADCB and ADNOC, and her extensive experience ranges from branding and advertising to production and events. Rasha holds a BA in International Business Communication from Aarhus University and a graduate certificate in Communication & Advertising from San Diego State University. When she’s not managing projects, you'll find her sweating it out in a HIIT class, nose-deep in a good book or soaking up the sun at the beach.
CREATIVE & PRODUCTION
BARAZIMohammed is our Creative Lead with an epic track record developing product branding, marketing campaigns and advertising solutions in the GCC and the Middle East. With more than 15 years of experience under his belt, Mohammed leads the creative team to ensure that client visions are realised, implemented and delivered, and project briefs, objectives and timelines are met.
With a BA in Fine Arts from Damascus University, he is always pushing creative boundaries to create unforgettable brand experiences. When he isn't in work mode, you can find him unleashing his creativity on canvas either painting or drawing, or spending quality time with his family.
TAMARATam is our savvy Senior Designer with a sharp eye for style. With over 8 years of experience in branding and advertising, she now specialises in digital design and is an irreplaceable force when it comes to creative ideas. Not only does she work on concepts from ideation right through to finalization, she also works closely alongside the creative lead and offers her advice whenever necessary.
With an engineering background and an MA in Architecture, Tam has a high level of flexibility to the design medium that is met with meticulous attention to detail. When she’s not creating works of art, you can find her horse riding, laying in the sun, or geeking out in a heated D'n'D session.
THADThad is Andon's expert Production Manager who works both behind the camera and behind the scenes in the production of our corporate films and bespoke digital content. With a long history in photography and videography, he recently switched his focus from being a content creator for one of the largest automotive channels on YouTube towards advertising and tactical film work, working with top-tier clients such as Emirates, Porsche, UFC and Jaguar Land Rover.
Always behind the lens, Thad studied a BA at the Brooks Institute of Photography, and when he isn't creating visual stories, you can find him exploring the world or cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
KATEKate is Andon's indispensable Animator and Video Editor. Her role involves creating compelling motion graphics, conceptualising corporate videos and showreels, designing custom-built animations and giving new life to PowerPoint presentations. She is a master at her craft whether she is whipping up a fast-paced promo video or producing captivating multi-cam interviews.
Although Kate completed her BA degree in Tourism, she has always been pulled towards design and spent many years freelancing to explore the world of animation and motion graphics. When she isn't head deep in the editing studio, you will find her spending time with her adorable dogs, immersed in a sci-fi film or playing her favourite video games.
