Nabil Kamel  /  Marketing Leader

Marketing you can measure.

Five years from media buyer to marketing leader. I build growth across markets, the teams that run it, and the numbers that keep it honest.

Seven markets. Three regions.

The belief

Most brands do not have a data problem. They have a data-literacy problem.

The teams that can read their own numbers, catch the lies in them, and correct in near real time are the ones that do not burn money. I lead from that belief.

Experience

From one ad account to the whole company.

2021

Media buyer, seven markets

Paid social and search for ecommerce and education brands across Saudi, the UAE, the UK, the US, France, Kuwait and Egypt. The lesson that shaped everything after: the accounts that lost money were never short on numbers. They were short on numbers they could trust.

2022 to 2025

Head of Growth and Marketing Operations

A multi-brand international company selling across Europe, the Middle East and North America. I stood up the measurement foundation and the automated reporting, then rebuilt how the company acquired distributors and sold its courses.

Reporting time cut about 60%. Distributor leads up 50%. Course sales up 35%.

2025 to 2026

Marketing Leader (title confidential)

The whole international function. A fully remote team across design, PR, digital, analytics and operations. A global distributor network. Two flagship industry events run end to end. A store portfolio grown to 15+ Shopify stores.

Flagship store: sales up 74% and orders up 57% year over year. Distributor engagement up 42%.

2026

Independent

Consulting for brands in Saudi and the US on measurement and growth, and building a productized practice for Shopify brands. In June I audited 35 stores. Every one had a tracking gap. That finding is now a free tool anyone can run.

Leadership

A fully remote team, one standard.

Design, PR, digital, analytics and operations, across three regions and several time zones. What held it together was not a process document. It was a few rules everyone could repeat.

Evidence over adjectives.

A screenshot is not a diagnosis. Every decision carries a number, a date and a source, or it waits.

Ownership is the job.

My word matters, and so does the team's. Promises are kept, and when something breaks, the person who owns it says so first.

Decide, then measure.

Courage is acting with incomplete data and building the instrument that tells you if you were wrong, fast.

Lift the people around you.

The reporting layer existed so a designer, a PR lead and an operations manager could all read the same number and act on it without me in the room.

Work

Systems that outlast the person who set them up.

Stack

A marketing tech stack from zero

Shopify, GA4, GTM, Meta CAPI and server-side tracking wired as one measured system for a multi-brand company across three regions.

Reporting

Automated reporting leadership could act on

The layer that turned scattered platform data into weekly decisions and cut reporting time by about 60%.

Ecommerce

A store portfolio of 15+

Shopify stores built and scaled across EU and US markets. The flagship grew sales 74% in a year.

Platforms

Two platforms with the funnels behind them

A flagship industry event site with registration and ticketing, and an education platform with its own pipelines, tracked from day one.

Lifecycle

A distributor programme that grew

Reworked acquisition and lifecycle for a global distributor network: leads up 50%, engagement up 42%.

Framework

A cross-platform measurement framework

For a Saudi multi-brand retailer: one event model read the same way by Google, Meta, TikTok and Snap.

Every figure has a date and a source.

Beyond the work

The habits behind the numbers.

Discipline first

Training most mornings before the first call. The same rule applies to the work: consistency beats intensity.

Three languages, one more coming

Arabic at home, English at work, Russian learned on the ground. Always one language in progress.

I build tools

When a check gets repeated three times, it becomes a script. The free tracking scanner started that way.

I write in public

Teardowns of the numbers brands trust too much, on LinkedIn as @NabilKamel and on Instagram as @nabilkamel.co.

FAQ

Questions I get asked.

What do you actually do?

I lead marketing and I build the measurement underneath it. Strategy, the team that runs it, and the tracking layer that says whether any of it worked.

Why did a marketing leader go underneath the dashboard?

Every budget call I made as a leader sat on a tracking layer someone else had built. When the platforms disagreed, the meeting turned into opinions. So I learned the layer myself: GA4, Google Tag Manager, server-side tagging, Meta's Conversions API, and the event model that lets four ad platforms count the same sale once. A marketing leader who can read the raw data does not get managed by the dashboard.

What are you open to?

Leadership roles and consulting engagements. Based in Cairo, remote first, open to relocation.

Do you only work with ecommerce?

No. The most recent work is Shopify and ecommerce. Earlier work covers education brands, industry events and a global distributor network.

How does an engagement start?

With a read of what is already there. In June 2026 I audited 35 Shopify stores and every one had a tracking gap, so the first step is almost always finding what is not being counted.
