Strategy is only valuable when it moves the business.

I'm Med Yacoub, a marketing leader with more than 20 years of agency and brand-side experience. My work connects market insight, customer behavior, media, technology, and business economics to the decisions that drive growth.

What I bring

Perspective, discipline, and the ability to build.

I've developed strategies, operating models, and marketing programs in businesses where growth depends on more than campaigns. The work spans acquisition, lifecycle, technology, content, media, and cross-functional decision-making.
