John Papaioannou

I come from a diverse international background having lived in Canada, Bahrain, Greece, and Qatar which has allowed me to develop a heightened cultural awareness with exceptional communication skills. I have been active in the advertising industry since the year 2000 throughout which time I have held various positions ranging from Art and Creative Director to my current role as Account Director and Director of Client Service at one of the biggest media and advertising groups in Qatar.

I have in-depth knowledge on developing innovative advertising concepts and tailor-made branding solutions. I have worked for several advertising agencies as well as been part of elite design teams where I have helped develop ideas, designs, and concepts used by international organizations and events. In 2004, I was also selected to lead the Art Direction Team responsible for the Official Publications of the ATHENS 2004 OLYMPIC GAMES.

I can efficiently manage diverse teams ensuring a smooth workflow and maximizing internal capacity while also managing high profile clients with ease. My presentation and communication skills are exceptional, and I also have strong business development abilities allowing me to help expand client portfolios, as well as improve company revenue streams in all service departments.

I have over 20 years of agency experience.

I have a Graphic Design degree that I acquired in Greece and over 20 years of agency experience.
