Edmond Moutran - Eddie to his friends and colleagues - is known in the marketing field as the man who created many "firsts". Eddie's dynamism fuelled his ambition and determination to carve his own path. In 1984, he began his own agency, Middle East Marketing and Communications which became better known by its initials: MEMAC. The founding of the company typifies Eddie's willingness to take a risk when he set up shop with four people, one client and just $13,000 capital. Today, Memac Ogilvy has 15 offices in 13 countries, employs over 1,000 people and has revenues 250 times greater than back in 1984.
