The Real Story

Most CMOs haven't marketed
through a war. I have.

The hardest briefs come from the hardest places. Here's where I've actually worked — and what I built anyway.

01
Pharmix · 2021–Present · Palestine · Jordan · Israel
The Challenge
Marketing skincare and parenting brands in an active war zone

From October 2023, Palestine entered active conflict. Supply chains cut. Consumer spending in free fall. Audiences displaced, bereaved, or under siege. Three brands. Three markets. No CMO playbook for this.

I didn't pause or pivot to safe messaging. I adapted positioning, rebuilt audience segments from scratch, and found the emotional frequency that still reached people — even in crisis.

02
DialogueX · 2025–Present · Remote · AI Peacebuilding
The Challenge
Marketing empathy when the whole world chose sides

We built a platform that requires both Israelis and Palestinians to sit at the same digital table — for dialogue — during the most polarised, traumatised moment in both societies' modern history.

Every word had to work for both audiences simultaneously. Marketing "dialogue" in a world full of hatred isn't a brief — it's a responsibility.

Closer · 2023–2024 · Boston, USA (Remote) · MedTech
The Challenge
Marketing hope to parents in NICU waiting rooms

A medical device for preterm infants and breastfeeding mothers. The audience: parents in the most emotionally raw moments of their lives. Operating from Palestine, building for the US market.

You can't hustle your way through this. You have to understand the grief before you write a single line. That's the fractional CMO role before it had a name.

PalGeeks · 2019–2021 · Palestine · Digital Agency
The Challenge
Building a digital market that didn't think it needed one

Palestine in 2019 wasn't a digital-first market. Traditional businesses saw no need. Half the job was selling the vision of digital transformation before selling any actual services.

We built it from the ground up: full-service for 50+ clients, a QR menu product, e-commerce platforms, and a team that could do it all.

FAQ

Questions worth answering properly

The ones I get asked most before someone books a call.

What exactly is a Fractional CMO?
A senior Chief Marketing Officer who works part-time or on contract — typically 10–20 hours a week. You get executive-level strategy and execution without the full-time salary or equity hit. Ideal for startups and growing businesses that need real marketing leadership, not more tactics.
What's the difference between you and a marketing agency?
An agency executes. I lead. I set direction, build your team, own your P&L, and install systems that work after I leave. An agency stops when the retainer ends. The infrastructure I build stays.
What markets and industries do you work in?
MENA-first — Palestine, Jordan, Israel, and the broader Arabic-speaking world — with remote experience building for US and global companies. I've worked in consumer health, skincare, parenting, nutrition, MedTech, AI, and digital services across B2B, B2B2C, and B2C.
Do you only work with Arabic-speaking markets?
No — I work globally and fully in English. But my Arabic fluency and deep MENA consumer knowledge is a genuine competitive edge for any company entering Arabic-speaking markets, where most Western CMOs have no real experience.
What results have you delivered?
46K+ Instagram followers built from zero. 70% brand awareness growth. $120K+ in seed funding raised across co-founded ventures. 50+ clients served. All of it built during some of the most challenging operating conditions a marketer could face — including an active conflict zone.
How do we get started?
A free 30-minute intro call. I keep my client list small on purpose — that call is how we both decide if there's a real fit. Book directly via Calendly above, or email islam.abuljadayel@gmail.com. I respond within 24 hours, Sunday–Thursday.

"I started in civil engineering. I think in systems and feel in stories — and that combination is exactly what hard briefs require."

My path didn't go straight to marketing. I came from civil engineering — which means I design marketing infrastructures that scale, not campaigns that burn out.

My work spans consumer health, parenting, nutrition, AI peacebuilding, and medical devices: industries where audiences need to feel something before they act. I don't choose between brand and growth. I build both.

I have deep Arabic consumer psychology combined with full English-language strategic fluency. For companies entering MENA or building for Arabic-speaking audiences, that's a genuine competitive edge very hard to find elsewhere.

I've co-founded 3 ventures and raised $120K+ in seed funding. I understand what it means to build from zero — under pressure, in markets without a playbook.
