Portrait of Sandy Hanna

I'm a Creative Director in the Growth & Innovation team at Publicis Groupe in Dubai, originally from Lebanon.

Over more than a decade in digital and offline advertising, I've become a data-driven creative. For me, digital is one of many mediums a creative has to master. I see myself as the link between the performance and creative sides of a business, translating both worlds into digital-first, 360° ideas.

Before Publicis, I spent years making work for Anghami, the region's music platform: talent hunts on TikTok, a kit inside FIFA, a film on Burj Khalifa. Today I build platforms like Youth Studio, where culture, data and design meet.

What I do

  1. Creative direction

    Leading ideas that join brand, culture and emerging technology, from the insight to the last frame.

  2. Brand identity

    Designing identities hands-on, from Vibe Music Arabia to Youth Studio.

  3. Experiential design

    Booths, activations and brand worlds people want to walk into and talk about.

  4. Innovation & AI

    Exploring how AI and new tools can expand creative thinking and open new formats for ideas.

Let's make something people talk about.
