ARWho is Ahmed Ali?
Ahmed Ali is a full-stack digital strategist based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He is Digital Product & Growth Lead at Emotion Group and Motion Motors — the official SOUEAST dealer for Saudi Arabia's Western Region — and has spent more than five years working across Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
What separates him from most people with that title is scope: he sets the strategy, builds the platform, and runs the marketing on top of it. Those are usually three different hires, and the gaps between them are where most digital work goes wrong — a campaign pointed at a page nobody owns, a site built by people who will never have to rank it, analytics fitted after launch when it is too late to measure the thing that mattered.

What he actually does
Six disciplines, held by one person, which is the point — each one informs the next.
Performance marketing
Google Ads, Meta, TikTok — built and run against tracked revenue, not impressions.
SEO
Technical and content SEO, including work on high-value real estate keywords in Dubai.
Web development
Next.js and React — the same person who plans the site builds it.
Mobile development
Flutter for iOS and Android. The Maasob Al-Sultan app shipped in under a month.
Analytics
GA4 and GTM, so the campaigns above report against something real.
AI integration
Assistants and automation built into the product rather than bolted beside it.
Where he has worked
Brands along the way include Ooredoo, QNB, Amazon Egypt, Saudi Arabian Airlines, BinGhatti, Dunkin' and Geely.
