With more than 25 years of experience in the media industry, Alex Saber has been a leading force across the MENA media agency world. As chairman, Saber has spearheaded the leadership of Publicis Media to act with agility and strength using its many talents to help clients adapt to the complexity of the market and keep pace with transformational growth in the UAE. Through relentless talent development, digital leadership and the strongest of partner relationships, Saber has put Publicis Media MENA on the global map by growing the agency footprint, and working with various local and multinational clients across the region.
