Saffanat Husain, Strategic Planning Associate Manager, Asiatic MCL
Since childhood, creativity has been an aspect she has always been intrigued by. She loved making handmade cards, origami, art, etc. She knew what her friends and family would like as gifts. Always anticipating the needs and wants of her loved ones when crafting their gifts has helped her develop the understanding and needs of her audience.
As she grew up, her curiosity towards advertisement started to increase. This led her to pursue Marketing communications and Advertisement from Kingston University, London. She finished her undergrad and continued with a Masters. During this time she learned about the practical and theoretical aspects of advertisement.
Currently, she has a professional strategic planning experience for over five years where she worked in the best advertising agencies of Bangladesh, as well as demonstrated a myriad of successful projects in the advertising industry of Bangladesh under her belt.
