Shanya Rehman

Content Strategist & Editorial Leader
Dubai

Summary

With over 15 years in the business of words, I’ve learned that great content is equal parts strategy, storytelling, and a dash of wit. From newsrooms to digital platforms, I’ve shaped narratives for publishers, e-commerce brands, and global clients—always with one goal: to make every word earn its place. My career has spanned the evolving worlds of digital media, AdTech, and MarTech, where I’ve led editorial teams, crafted copy for fast-moving campaigns, and built content strategies that cut through the noise. Along the way, I’ve proofread thousands of lines (and rescued more commas than I care to admit), but also embraced AI-powered tools that are transforming the future of content creation. What sets me apart? A blend of journalistic discipline, editorial leadership, and cross-cultural fluency that allows me to connect ideas with people—whether it’s a sharp headline, a long-form feature, or content designed to convert. If you’re looking for someone who can marry creativity with strategy, manage the details without losing sight of the big picture, and occasionally sneak in a witty turn of phrase—I’m your person.
