Memac Ogilvy Jordan announces new MD

Memac Ogilvy Jordan has announced the appointment of Habib Rihana as managing director (MD). Rihana will replace long-serving MD Mohammad Kamal, who parts ways with the agency after 10 years. Kamal leaves a legacy as one of the market’s foremost creative talents.

Rihana steps up from the Deputy MD position, and will continue to co-lead with Kamal through June to ensure a smooth transition for the agency and its valued clients. Rihana will continue to focus on creativity, client-centricity and integration, in line with Memac Ogilvy’s regional growth strategy.

“I want to thank Mohammed for the guidance, leadership, and friendship he has shown me over the years, preparing me for this opportunity — I could not imagine a better mentor,” said Rihana, newly appointed managing director, Memac Ogilvy Jordan.

Rihana joined Memac Ogilvy in 2010. He was responsible for some of the agency’s largest clients, as well as ensuring positive and sustainable growth for the network in Jordan. He started his career at Impact BBDO in Jeddah, KSA, followed by Dubai, UAE.
