Freya Dumasia
Name: Freya Dumasia
Hometown: Dubai, UAE
Currently based in: NYC
Previous experience: I have had experiences in advertising agencies across the globe, including Researcher at FCB in New Zealand, Strategic Planner at FP7 (part of McCann Worldgroup) in Dubai, and a Brand Architect at People, Ideas & Culture (PI&C) in Milan. I am a global strategist fascinated by the human condition. I’m passionate about research and insights that deliver strategy to ignite business growth.
Describe yourself in three words: Empathetic, dedicated, and lion-hearted
What I want my next opportunity to look like: I am on the hunt for a full-time role in strategy within agency life and beyond. I want to bring my diverse background into the workspace and believe brands are cultural constructs, so my understanding the business dynamics around them is important in engineering an idea that is meaningful. I keep searching for opportunities in strategy that will allow me to explore impactful solutions for businesses.
I feel inspired when: I am exposed to information and stories of people from different walks of life that shape my thinking in a new way. I am inspired to work hard on things that use my skills for good—for good people and good businesses—and create an impact across the board, whether on a macro level of changes in businesses or a micro level of entering into people's everyday conversations. The power and execution of creativity is an exciting journey.
Outside of work you’ll find me: Being a Brand Ambassador at She Runs It (Advertising Women of New York), an inaugural Board Member and Mentor at Women Who Create, and Student at The University of Oxford Said Business School in Women's Leadership Development. Also, I find joy in taking it back to the basics with creating things using my hands, including sketching, painting, baking, and cooking.
