Who’s Who: Majid Roshdi, marketing adviser at the Royal Commission for Riyadh City

Majid Roshdi has been the marketing adviser for projects at the Royal Commission for Riyadh City since July.

Prior to this role, he served as the chief of marketing and corporate communications at the Real Estate Development Fund from February 2019.

Before that, he was the director of business development for small and medium-sized enterprises at Tawuniya Insurance.

While being a member of the franchise and marketing committee at the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry since September 2020, he also heads the chamber’s Marketing Creativity Awards committee, which launched its first Ramadan and National Day campaigns awards in 2021.

He has also served as a Marketing Pioneers Award committee Judge in 2019 and has been a Wa’i Awards judge with the Ministry of Health since 2020.

Roshdi believes that marketing is too important to be left to marketers. He holds that all company members should promote company values and brand essence for the client to get the whole experience they would expect from the brand.

As a marketing enthusiast, he is committed to sharing his views on social media through Twitter and LinkedIn, writing about global and local companies’ stories, focusing on marketing tactics that led to their successes or failures.

He also gives business lectures at many of Saudi Arabia’s top schools to share his views on marketing from a professional standpoint with future generations of business leaders.

With his diverse expertise from food and beverages to insurance and mortgages, he has given many marketing consultations to companies, launching the Saudi Azom Tech cellphone back in January 2021.

Roshdi received a master’s degree in business administration and marketing from Cleveland State University in the US and a bachelor’s degree in marketing from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Dhahran.

UAE’s Sheikh Tahnoon ‘welcome anytime’: Saudi media minister

  • Sheikh Tahnoon “comes to the Kingdom whenever he wants without permission; it is his home and its leadership is his family,” the Kingdom’s media minister wrote on X

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Media Minister Salman Al-Dossary refuted on Wednesday allegations circulating on social media that the Kingdom has denied entry to the UAE’s National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed.
“What is being circulated about the Kingdom refusing to receive His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed is incorrect. His Highness comes to the Kingdom whenever he wants without permission; it is his home and its leadership is his family,” the minister wrote on X.
Sheikh Tahnoon is the Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and brother of the UAE’s President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said on Tuesday that while there had been a “difference of view” between the two countries over Yemen, their relationship was “critically important” for regional stability.
“The Kingdom is always keen on having a strong, positive relationship with the UAE as an important partner within the GCC,” he said.
He said the UAE’s withdrawal from Yemen served as a “building block” for the relationship with the Emirates to continue strong.
Last month, Yemen’s internationally recognized government asked the UAE to withdraw its forces from the country after the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) that it supported seized large areas in the south and east.
The Saudi-led military Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen said on December 30 that it had conducted a “limited” airstrike against shipments of smuggled weapons destined to the STC.
The UAE defense ministry said it completed a full withdrawal from Yemen on January 2.
