Accomplishment driven and advertising guru with 23+ years of experience in the communication field. Salama showed interest in advertising through her love of commercials since she was a child as she used to tape-record TV commercials and play them over and over, to dissect, study, memorize and sing, little did she know she was taking her first steps towards her passion in life.
Growing up with the belief that communication can break every barrier, Salama followed her passion and began her career working as a Dubbing Director at Media Concepts where she dubbed several Disney cartoons for the Egyptian market. From there, she moved publishing where she assumed the role of Editorial Associate at Cleo Magazine and was part of starting Egypt’s first English lifestyle Magazine.
Salama entered the advertising world, when she joined Lintas now known as Lowe, later moved to Grey, then Bates. She later joined Synergy Advertising as a startup and during her 10 years, she was a big part of driving the agency to becoming one of Egypt’s leading Advertising Agencies. She later moved to Animation Advertising and in 2010 she joined a startup group called Breakthrough, where she managed both the Advertising & the Digital agencies.
