Vodafone Oman has partnered with Dubai-headquartered Memac Ogilvy to curate, manage and implement a specialized marketing training program, following the success of its earlier skills development programs in Care and Retail.
This latest collaboration comes as part of Vodafone’s aim to help build a circular talent economy, by nurturing Omani talents, increasing their employability and building their capabilities through continuous learning opportunities from world industry-leading experts.
The program was focused on three pillars of modern marketing and communications including Media, Content & Creative, and Social Media Communications. In its first successful year, candidates were carefully selected through a rigorous assessment process following which they were challenged to spend six months on both learning and working through live briefs.

Through this partnership with Ogilvy, our youth were provided access to a global network of talent who coached and mentored them to grow, develop and succeed.”
Mr. David Fox, CEO of Memac Ogilvy MENA, said that “Combining the talents and expertise of a major brand such as Vodafone, and our global and local expertise, allowed us to further develop young talents in communications. As an agency that prioritizes youth learning and development, this opportunity enabled us to invest in the invaluable skills of Omani youth.’’
Since its inception, Vodafone has focused on creating opportunities for businesses and individuals the grow and prosper by leveraging the group’s international expertise, fostering knowledge-sharing and implementing global best practices.
