Who am I?

I'm Fabien Hameline, a seasoned creative producer and storytelling strategist with over 10 years of experience. I've helped Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Starbucks, Maersk, and startup unicorn monday.com transform their brands and achieve significant growth.

My expertise:

  • Executed countless ad campaigns (OOH/TV/online/audio…) over many markets (US/EU/LATAM/Asia), including a Superbowl ad, and DOOH Timesquare takeover;

  • Crafting compelling narratives that resonate with audiences;

  • Built and developed complex workflows and processes for 300+ team (some say I eat workflows for breakfasts);

  • Balancing innovation with productivity

I am also a martial arts expert (Kukkiwon Taekwondo master / NYC gold medalist), expert in resiliency.
