About Me

The story behind the strategy

I'm Hichem Chatbi — a Digital Marketing Specialist and Project Manager with 6+ years of hands-on experience building marketing operations from the ground up.

My journey started in France managing a breakfast-delivery app launch and grew into overseeing 9 restaurant and franchise brands across the GCC for Starcapital Agency — one of Dubai's leading marketing firms.

Along the way, I've worked on-site in Dubai, consulted remotely for real estate in Saudi Arabia, and founded my own e-commerce brand in Algeria — generating $97K in the first 12 months.

What sets me apart? I combine strategic thinking with executional depth. I've been in the boardroom and behind the camera. I understand brands, content, paid media, and people.

Influencer Marketing

Right influencer. Right place. Right moment.

When I brought Anes — a content creator followed by 1.3M francophones — into a campaign in Dubai, I didn't just pitch an idea. I made it happen from brief to delivery.

🎯 The Strategy

Matching the creator to the brand, the moment, and the market

Influencer marketing is not about follower counts — it is about cultural fit, timing, and authentic storytelling. Anes's 1.3M francophone audience was the perfect bridge to reach Dubai's fast-growing French-speaking community.

I identified the match, pitched the concept, managed the relationship, and coordinated the full content production — from briefing to final delivery.

Seizing the Opportunity

Inviting the right influencer, in the right place, at the right moment — to reach the right audience.

When French influencers visited Dubai, I saw an opportunity nobody else was capitalizing on — bringing French tourists and French residents directly to authentic French dining experiences in the city.

🇫🇷
French creators, French audience. We partnered with French influencers visiting Dubai to authentically promote French restaurant brands to their highly engaged French-speaking audience.

🎥 Nasdas x Baguette Boss
Baguette Boss · France

Nasdas. Baguette Boss. Audience. Branding.

For Baguette Boss France, I designed an awareness campaign with Nasdas — the most-followed Snapchat creator in France — to introduce the brand to a massive French-speaking audience and reveal it as Nasdas's own project.

🇫🇷

Chef Hacen Souadji

A shared project. A strong collaboration.

Chef Hacen Souadji is a restaurant launcher and chef consultant. We worked together on the Don't Be Chai new menu launch — building a fresh brand direction and growing the restaurant's digital presence.

🍵 The Project
Don't Be Chai — New Menu & New Identity

I led the full digital rollout of the new menu for Don't Be Chai: new brand voice, fresh content strategy, campaign planning, and social media execution. The mission was to create real buzz around the launch and build lasting digital momentum for the restaurant.


Chef Hacen and I collaborated closely throughout the project — aligning the culinary vision with the digital strategy to ensure the brand spoke authentically to its audience.

Hichem Chatbi, my brother whom I met two or three years ago during a mission in Dubai. He was working with Starcapital alongside my brother Patrick Pelonero. Hichem — I've honestly analyzed him. He's someone with quiet strength, a soft power. Someone who analyzes, who listens, and who knows how to act accordingly for your marketing, whether it's digital marketing, ideas, market analysis, or business development. Really, Hichem is very, very good, and I wish you all the best for the future of your activities around the world. I highly recommend him — my trusted DZ.

Patrick Pelonero

Hichem Chatbi was like my right-hand man in almost all of my projects. He never hesitates and never holds back when it comes to providing help and valuable ideas. He works based on objectives rather than hours. He is a highly versatile person who can focus on several projects at the same time and knows how to organize his time and tasks in order to remain effective. I wish him every success in his professional career.
