Speaking

A Keynote on Digital Influence in Pakistan

As a keynote speaker at the 2018 Digital Youth Summit held in Peshawar, I flew in from Lahore to talk about how the modern day creative can leverage the available platforms.

Hearing about the work from someone who is in the field, is always a better approach to giving the audience something valuable. 

Thanks to Saad Hamid for conducting the session.
