CTA Continues to Grow with the Welcome Addition of Zain Alkhouri

We are happy to announce the newest addition to our marketing team, Zain Alkhouri, our Marketing Specialist.

A bit about Zain

Food has been at the centre of all of his loved ones coming together, and thus the catalyst for many of Zain’s most lasting memories. Growing up in Jordan in a Middle Eastern Family, Zain immigrated with his family to Canada at nine years old. Ever since then, food has been a meaningful connector between him and his culture.

Today, Zain is on a mission to visit all the restaurants and festivals in the GTA, not only to connect with his own culture but to explore the incredible mosaic of cultures and food available to Ontarians. Spoiler alert: there are a LOT!

Educational Background

As a graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), Zain has a degree in Media Production and has also volunteered and interned at several spots to shape his marketing, social media, blogging, website content creation and event coordination background- skills he’ll no doubt be putting to great use at CTA!

After graduation, Zain worked at TMU in events and communication before jet setting all across the country as a correspondent in Canadian Content Development to celebrate Ontario music and musicians at international music festivals for SiriusXM Canada.

Passions and Other Bits and Bobs 

Growing up in an incredibly creative, entrepreneurial family, Zain has no doubt made his mark in his own way as a singer/songwriter, musician and actor (it’s not surprising to find him humming along to a new tune)! He also loves to help his mother and sister market their ceramic art studio in Windsor.

What’s Next

As a Marketing Specialist, Zain is already diving in to developing marketing strategies, creating content, and engaging with CTA followers. He is excited to travel alongside the incredible marketing team (we hope he still feels that way after three days in a car together…kidding)!

Welcome to the team, Zain!
