Hi, I'm Zuber Alim, a Data & AI-driven marketer with over 5 years of agency experience across search, social, programmatic, and 3rd party media channels. Currently, I lead the Search & Social department managing over $200K in monthly ad spends and a team of more than 10 members. I'm passionate about the intersection of AI and marketing, and I actively integrate AI tools into daily workflows to automate reports, audits, and analysis. I approach marketing with a data-driven, full-funnel strategy and enjoy sharing my knowledge by creating content that breaks down complex marketing and AI topics into practical applications. I love working closely with teams and clients to scale ad campaigns efficiently and have hands-on experience experimenting with platforms like Google, Meta, and TikTok. Outside of work, I am curious about AI's implications on the workforce and am always exploring new ways to optimize and innovate in digital marketing.
