Elie Sarkis, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Intoact International, is a trusted name in the Middle East’s digital marketing landscape. With more than 14 years of experience, Elie’s career began with a fascination for the power of social media, long before digital marketing became a core part of business strategy.
In 2016, Elie recognized a gap in the industry — many businesses understood digital strategies but struggled to implement them practically. To address this, he co-founded Intoact International alongside his team, headquartered in Metn, Lebanon. The company’s mission was clear from the start: bridge the gap between knowledge and execution.
Today, Intoact International delivers practical digital marketing and AI training, courses, and consulting across Dubai, the UAE, Lebanon, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Elie has personally trained more than 2,000 professionals through over 750 workshops, seminars, and training courses. His expertise spans SEO, social media marketing, influencer marketing, email marketing, and e-commerce strategy.
Over time, Elie has expanded his focus to include AI, teaching professionals how artificial intelligence is becoming integrated into marketing strategy, while helping companies understand the growing importance of search visibility — no longer limited to Google alone, but extending into AI-powered search experiences. Elie Sarkis was recognized among the “Middle East’s 10 Most Influential Business Leaders” in 2024. His vision is for Intoact International to become the foremost authority on digital marketing education and consulting in the Middle East and beyond.
