Balances global consistency with local relevance.
Coordinate inputs across markets covered in scope (e.g., Iraq, Algeria, Tunisia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Maldives) and manage market-specific nuance within a single group framework.
Ensure positioning work is clearly framed as strategic alignment and that it directly supports marketing investment, consistent preference, and long-term enterprise value.
3) Translate strategy into guidelines & executable toolkits
Convert positioning outputs into clear, practical brand guidance that can be used consistently by marketing, communications, product teams, and agency partners.
Own the ongoing update cycle of brand guidelines (group master + market addenda), including decision logs, version control, and change communications.
Create and maintain toolkits that enable adoption at scale (e.g., messaging architecture, brand personality cues, tone of voice principles, templates, do/don’t libraries).
4) Brand embedment across the organisation (make it “stick”)
Deliver an embedment/roll-out plan that drives alignment to positioning throughout the organisation—marketing/communications and beyond—ensuring the brand is executed consistently in VI/MarCom and embedded across relevant parts of the business.
Design and run stakeholder workshops and working sessions to drive alignment and adoption across OpCos and functions. (Workshops are consistent with internal research approaches.)
Provide a clear plan for resourcing and delivery in markets with relevant stakeholders (including how Group and OpCos collaborate).
5) Monitor and improve Brand Health (BHT + KPI linkage)

6) Agency & partner leadership (brand strategy and execution quality)
Lead agency briefs for brand strategy, positioning, and brand guidance; manage partners from scope definition through delivery and embedment.
Ensure outputs reflect agreed scope: assessment → framework → embedment plan; with a strong emphasis on practical application across markets.
