My name is Adam Jalali. I am a seasoned professional with experience in integrated marketing, branding, advertising, public relations, copywriting, creative direction, social media, email marketing and graphic design.
I offer more than 13 years of local, national and international marketing experience for a variety of industries including corporate, communications, non-profit, luxury goods & services, residential & commercial real estate, dining & hospitality, arts & entertainment, healthcare, tourism, education and retail. I currently lead the communications and marketing department at a national Canadian community health research organization. I previously served as the Vice President of Creative Strategy at an American brand marketing agency, where I worked since 2012.
I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Florida in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations from the College of Journalism & Communications and a Minor in French from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. I have also completed Marketing Management and Organizational Behaviour MBA courses at Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business.
I recently returned from Miami, Florida, USA to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, a vibrant city I am happy to call home. I am proud of the Jamaican and Indian cultures which shape who I am and add unique perspectives to my work.
Outside of work, I enjoy foreign/art house cinema, the arts, cuisine, literature, studying the French language, Dungeons & Dragons and, above all else, spending time with my adorable niece. I am currently developing a personal writing project involving race & LGBTQ+ identity, issues, food and history. I am excited to share details about this in the future.
