Hi, I'm Jaffar Hamza!
Brand Strategist Specialist & Business Development Manager at BOXOBIA
Hi, I’m Jaafar Hamza, a brand strategist, writer, lecturer, and creative manager with nearly 20 years of experience in branding and innovation. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with renowned global brands like Bentley, Aramco, Formula One, and Kleenex, helping them craft strategies that truly connect with their audiences. I’m passionate about sharing knowledge and empowering others. I lead workshops and lectures on branding, marketing, and innovation, equipping corporate teams, university students, and startups with the tools to build strong, impactful brands. I developed the ASEES methodology, a framework that emphasizes sustainable brand strategies, and I’ve managed national campaigns, including a water-saving initiative in Bahrain, to drive lasting social impact. In addition to my professional work, I’m also a writer currently working on my 7th book, which explores the humanized perspective of branding and innovation. Currently, I’m pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA), focusing on how brand management influences the performance of SMEs in Bahrain. My goal is to inspire innovation and help organizations humanize their strategies to create brands that resonate deeply. I’m excited to share my insights and experiences with the Localized community and look forward to learning from you as well!
