Media planning and attribution

IMKAN campaign, 2019

Maken Properties, Dubai

A multi-channel off-plan campaign run for IMKAN while I handled media for 20+ developers at Maken Properties. The campaign ranked first among the brokerage’s developer campaigns that year.

  • Meta, Google and portal media planned against a monthly budget and a CPL ceiling.
  • Reporting framework built so attributed sales could be traced back to campaigns.
  • Creative and landing pages produced in-house with lead capture and tracking.

Brokerage performance campaign

Falcon Island, Ras Al Khaimah

Imkan Real Estate, Ras Al Khaimah

Lead generation for a waterfront villa community, with lead scoring and routing in the CRM so sales followed up fast on the enquiries most likely to buy.

  • Paid social and search aimed at investors and end users, with GA4 and Power BI dashboards guiding spend.
  • Bitrix24 and HubSpot workflows for scoring, routing and nurture; AI callbacks on new leads.
  • Part of a period that grew qualified leads 65% year over year while CPL fell 47%.

Lead operations system

Salsabeel Real Estate automation system, 2026

Salsabeel Real Estate, Ajman

A developer with six sales reps and no marketing stack. In five months the website, tracking, CRM and follow-up were wired into one system: every enquiry lands in the CRM, is assigned to a rep within seconds, and reports back to the ad platforms as a conversion.

  • Website forms and paid-social leads go through n8n into GoHighLevel: contact upsert, field mapping, opportunity creation, round-robin assignment and a WhatsApp alert to the rep.
  • Pipeline stage changes are sent back to Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and GA4 as server-side events, de-duplicated with the browser pixel.
  • Around 45 workflows and 50 data tables run the rest: lead scoring, nurture sequences, a sales-conversation coach, budget pacing, creative fatigue checks and an ops console.
  • Instagram comments can trigger a DM and a CRM contact; a knowledge bot answers reps’ project questions.

Web performance

Site speed: Lighthouse 40 to 96+

salsabeel-re.ae, October 2026

The Astro site on Cloudflare was carrying five tag scripts, Google-hosted fonts and full-size hero images. Mobile Lighthouse sat around 40 with a 9–10 second largest-contentful-paint.

  • Tag scripts load on first interaction or after 3.5 seconds; page-view and view-content events still queue immediately with their event IDs.
  • Fonts moved onto the site with only the Latin and Arabic subsets, preloaded, with an immutable cache header.
  • Hero images cut to WebP with srcset. Largest-contentful-paint fell to about 2 seconds; layout shift stayed near zero.
  • Tracking verified with Playwright afterwards: page view, view content and lead events arrive with matching IDs on every platform.

  • Construction time-lapse for Azora Tower built from a single site photo with ComfyUI (Wan 2.1) and Google Flow (Veo 3.1).
  • Exterior renders for Injaz Salsabeel generated with Gemini at 2K and used across a 56-page bilingual brochure.
