Est. 1987
It's pronounced Fi-rue-zeh. I’m 5’3”, half-Iranian and an amateur sfoglina.
How it started
Born and living in London I've spent all of my career in the creative industry. This started at the age 11, when I designed and interned for legendary fashion designer Bruce Oldfield and developed my skills for the fashion industry. Too impatient for the garment making process, I switched to fashion marketing and promotion at university, teaching myself the Adobe Creative Suite.
A happenstance freelance position led me to work with the likes of Microsoft, Lenovo and Telefonica, changing my field from fashion to tech. From there I’ve explored all areas of digital design, from delivering digital ecosystems, art directing TV ads, to rebranding companies.
How it’s going
Currently working as a Senior Strategist for flagship accounts and pitching new business at Hugo & Cat, part of McCann Worldwide and the IPG Group. Most recently I have worked with healthcare client ViiV Healthcare (GSK & Pfizer) to engage HCPs through omnichannel strategies informed by CX, and have planned and supported internal change management for new marketing strategies.
I was previously Account Director in client services, leading accounts such as Stanley Black & Decker and Sony, working closely with clients to uncover opportunities, identify and solve client problems, lead thinking and connect customer and audience experiences with business requirements.
I have strong experience in digital design, multi and omnichannel marketing, building data-driven marketing and social media strategies, and planning automated campaigns.
With 12 years of agency experience in digital communication and experience, I’m driven by understanding and practising the latest developments of the digital ecosystem and customer experience that directly and indirectly impacts the future of brands.
