Anam Ahmad

Agency: The Hanging House

From a garage startup to a multi-award-winning Tier-1 experiential agency, Anam Ahmad has built The Hanging House into a fifty-person powerhouse spanning Dubai and Riyadh. Under her leadership, THH achieved 63% average year-on-year growth, 94% retention rates, and transformed industry perception from "activation agency" to strategic experiential partner.

Her visionary leadership delivered extraordinary results: 869% revenue increase from Nissan, and 45% new client revenue totalling AED 12.75 million. She pioneered FIRE, the Middle East's first AI panelist, two years before AI became mainstream, demonstrating her ability to anticipate and capitalise on emerging trends. Anam's people-first culture breaks traditional hierarchies, champions diversity across fourteen nationalities, and maintains 40% female leadership. Her commitment extends beyond business; she's a faculty member at EMDI, a regular speaker at Cannes Lions and industry events, and an advocate for gender equality through Think Equal initiatives. Anam goes beyond the office walls and shapes an industry. Through thought leadership, innovation, and unwavering commitment to human connection, Anam has positioned THH as the benchmark for experiential excellence in MENA.
