Kamal is very bright individual who I have been working with since 3 years now. As a communication manager in AGA, He is the client's liaison with the agency; he balances the input of the various agency departments, ensuring it meets the client's objectives on time, reflecting best possible image of the agency. He also ensures that the account is running profitably and keeping management happy. He is a great communicator and a very creative person; he always helps our art directors by giving very creative ideas to apply in design. If you are considering a skilled professional for account management especially in communications, with some extra creativity, I highly recommend kamal.
