Walid Kanaan, Chief Creative Officer (CCO) at Impact BBDO across the Levant and KSA has resigned from his post, "looking for new perspectives and challenges". After 18 years at the agency, Kanaan, one of the MENA region's most decorative creative forces joins TBWA\RAAD as its Chief Creative Officer. Effective September 1, he will be based principally in Beirut, Lebanon, and Dubai, UAE and will provide dynamic new leadership to TBWA\RAAD’S dedicated network of creative resources across its regional offices in UAE, KSA and Qatar.
