Saudi Arabia marketing consultant highlights a 2026 focus on accountable systems, customer insight, and departmental structure.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, September 23, 2026 -- Redha Alayesh, a Saudi Arabia based marketing strategist, consultant, and brand builder, has announced a 2026 professional focus on measurable marketing systems that connect customer insight, organizational structure, and accountable growth. Working with startups, established enterprises, and growing teams across education, technology, food and beverage, gaming, and other sectors, Alayesh promotes a practical approach that positions marketing as a measurable business capability rather than a collection of campaigns or social media activities.

A Practical Shift Toward Accountable Marketing
Alayesh’s 2026 focus responds to a challenge common among organizations that are investing in marketing but lack a clear view of performance. Many businesses allocate budgets to awareness, content, advertising, events, or digital channels without a defined operating system for measuring progress. In Alayesh’s advisory work, this gap often appears when brand awareness has no owner, campaign goals are not tied to business outcomes, or marketing departments are defined by headcount rather than by clear roles, responsibilities, and decision processes.
That perspective has shaped Alayesh’s public message through his professional website, workshops, and online content. His method centers on clarifying the customer, defining the value proposition, building repeatable processes, and using analytics to improve decision making. Analytics, in this context, refers to the structured review of data from customer behavior, campaigns, sales activity, market research, and internal operations. The goal is to translate that information into practical decisions that can be tested, evaluated, and improved over time.
“Marketing is no longer just about getting noticed; it is about building systems that drive results and create real value for both businesses and customers,” said Redha Alayesh. “The best marketing departments are not just creative. They are accountable. If a team cannot measure it, the team cannot improve it.”
Building Departments Instead of Isolated Campaigns
A central part of Alayesh’s work is helping organizations move from informal marketing activity to structured departments. In many growing companies, marketing begins as a collection of disconnected tasks, such as social media posting, design requests, paid advertising, and event support. While these activities may be important, Alayesh argues that they are often insufficient without a defined operating model. A department needs strategy, governance, channel management, reporting, customer research, content systems, and clear collaboration with sales, product, finance, and leadership teams.
This approach is particularly relevant in the Gulf region, where many businesses are scaling quickly and facing higher expectations from digitally active customers. Customer behavior changes across platforms, languages, and buying journeys, making it important for companies to understand not only what audiences see, but also why they respond, compare, trust, and purchase. Alayesh’s work focuses on converting those observations into department structures that can support growth without depending on guesswork or individual effort alone.
His method includes defining marketing roles, building reporting routines, creating campaign planning systems, and training teams to make decisions based on evidence. For founders and executives who are not marketing specialists, this structure can make the function easier to evaluate. It also helps teams distinguish between activity and progress. Posting more content, increasing followers, or launching frequent campaigns may produce visibility, but Alayesh’s framework asks whether those actions improve customer understanding, lead quality, revenue contribution, retention, or brand positioning.
Bridging Creativity, Data, and Customer Insight
Alayesh’s professional reputation is built on the view that effective marketing requires both creative judgment and analytical discipline. Creative work helps brands communicate clearly, express a point of view, and connect with audiences. Data helps confirm whether assumptions are valid, whether customers understand the offer, and whether resources are being used effectively. Alayesh’s 2026 focus places those capabilities together, rather than treating them as competing approaches.
“Success in today’s market is not about chasing trends,” said Alayesh. “It is about understanding the customer deeply and building processes that allow teams to adapt, test, and grow with confidence.”
Across his consulting and educational work, Alayesh has emphasized customer-first thinking as a foundation for business growth. Customer-first thinking refers to the practice of designing marketing decisions around real audience needs, motivations, concerns, and behavior. This includes research, interviews, performance data, funnel analysis, and feedback from customer-facing teams. When used consistently, these inputs can help organizations sharpen positioning, reduce wasted spend, and build more relevant campaigns.
Alayesh also shares marketing observations through public channels, including LinkedIn and Instagram, where he discusses the causes of underperforming marketing departments and the role of disciplined decision making. His broader content includes essays in English and Arabic, a newsletter format, and Arabic video breakdowns focused on marketing systems and business learning. The material is intended to make strategic marketing more accessible to founders, operators, and emerging marketers while maintaining a focus on measurable outcomes.
A Regional Voice for Modern Marketing Practice
Alayesh’s work reflects changes in the marketing industry as artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and evolving customer expectations push organizations toward faster, more informed decisions. His approach emphasizes marketing departments as learning systems that connect research, campaigns, budgets, and customer feedback through measurable processes.
By testing ideas, measuring outcomes, and applying lessons to future decisions, organizations can better understand what drives sustainable growth while reducing reliance on short term tactics.
“My philosophy is simple: Marketing should empower teams, make business growth more predictable, and help everyone involved reach their full potential,” said Alayesh. “If an organization wants marketing that works, it should start with data, listen to customers, and never stop learning.”
In 2026, Alayesh plans to expand his educational and advisory work around measurable marketing, department development, and customer centered growth, helping organizations across Saudi Arabia and the wider region strengthen the connection between strategy and execution.

Artificial intelligence (AI) models developed by a research team led by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) professor Nam Ju-han made their debut at one of Korea’s leading jazz festivals, performing improvised jazz alongside human artists. According to the university Friday, the team showcased human-AI music collaboration technology that analyzes the flow of human performances in real time, allowing AI to take over performances or generate improvised accompaniment, during the 23rd Jarasum Jazz Festival, held in Gapyeong County, Gyeonggi Province, from Oct. 9 to 11. A total of 12 human jazz artists participated in the event, collaborating with AI in 26 pieces across 12 performances. The technology is different from existing music AI services as it enables collaboration with human musicians in jazz, a genre characterized by improvisation. Jazz musicians often change the tempo or create new melodies based on how they feel in the moment. Because the same piece can be performed differently each time, musicians must listen to one another and adjust their playing accord

SEATTLE — Alaska Airlines is looking to expand its presence in Asia as its Incheon-Seattle route gains traction, with Korea emerging as a key market in the U.S. carrier’s expanding international network. The airline recorded load factors of 82 percent in June, 84 percent in July and 79 percent in August on the route, marking a strong start in its first full year of operations. The figures exceeded expectations for a new route, which typically takes about three years to mature as the airline adjusts schedules and connections to meet passenger demand. "Those are really good, strong load factors for the first year of a new route," Shane Tackett, president and chief financial officer of Alaska Airlines, said in an interview with The Korea Times on Sept. 29. He added that one month ranked among Alaska's best-performing international routes financially before fuel prices increased significantly. The airline sees further opportunities to attract passengers from Korea, where its brand remains relatively unfamiliar. Tackett said Alaska Airlines aims to raise awareness of its services and enco
