Ishraq Dhaly

I am a seasoned branding and advertising specialist with 20+ years of experience. I have primarily
worked on both the agency side and the client side on both local and global brands in the
tobacco, telco, FMCG, CPG, retail, and lifestyle sectors, as well as the NGO sector.
 

I started my career as a bi-lingual copywriter (English and Bengali) but I loved the idea of selling
my ideas more than creating them, so I shifted over to the account management, client
servicing, and strategic planning sides of the business. In my current role, I lead one of the most
awarded and largest digital marketing agencies in Bangladesh. I also take great responsibility
for training the next generation of branding and communication enthusiasts through regular
physical and online training sessions.
 

I have an open work permit for Canada and am going to be living in Mississauga/Toronto from
April onward along with my family.
