First post

Hi I’m Alex Azzi, a marketing aficionado and entrepreneur, and a big thanks for checking my first blog post!

In this post I will be updating you on what’s been going on in my world over the last couple of years, at least since I left my job working for an online travel business in Venice.

Well, since leaving my job I have been working on several projects. Here they are with a brief summary:

• Return Focused/SCAS Partners: an online marketing consultancy, dedicated to helping companies to profit online.
• Hostels Street: a website for booking (budget) accommodation online.
• bey3.com: a “craigslist” for the Middle East, connecting buyers and sellers for free.
• Find Financial Advisors: a resource for helping people in the UK get the right financial advice.
• Makhsoom: a daily deal/group buying website and local business marketing solution provider, currently operating in Beirut and Dubai.

I believe that the advantage crossing such different sectors and business models is really giving me a strong foundation in solving the problems applicable to any business, such as automation, finding talent, revenue/performance optimization, all which will be themes I address on this blog.

So in conclusion, main purpose of this blog is to share the things I am passionate about, mostly from a business point of view, and I’m look forward to sharing my journey!
