Founder and CEO, CreAZ
Mariejoe is the Founder and CEO of CreAZ, a branding agency specialized in scalable, reliable, fast and quality branding solutions. CreAZ uses conventional branding techniques with AI technology to optimize results for customers, while minimizing time. Their services include branding, advertising, marketing, website design, publishing, hosting, and launching, social media, photography, videography, animation, publication design, print production, market research, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SEM (Search Engine Marketing), and exceptional support from their reliable team of experts. CreAZ offers small and medium-sized enterprises the opportunity to “rent their brand”, which allows businesses to pay a small daily fee‚Äîequivalent to the price of a coffee‚Äîfor branding services, rather than having to pay a larger cost up-front for services. CreAz is also preparing to launch a new “virtual office” service that will allow businesses to rent a virtual workspace in Paris for the price of one coffee a day. Mariejoe holds a Bachelors in Graphic Design with a Minor in Business Administration from the American University of Beirut, and a Masters of Business Administration in Brand Management and Marketing from INSEEC Paris. She was a 2007 Vital Voices Fortune-U.S. Department of State Global Women’s Mentoring Partnership mentee and belongs to the Lebanese League for Women in Business (LLWB), Child of Lebanon, and the American Chamber of Commerce. Prior to launching CreAz, Mariejoe served as the Creative Director at Raidy Printing Group in Beirut, the Lead Writer for Cedar Wings Inflight Magazine, as a lecturer on Graphic Print Product at University Saint Joseph, and an angel investor and partner with several startups around the globe. Mariejoe’s expertise is in branding, brand development, team leadership, business management, new technologies and consultancy.
