About Abdul Rahman Bazian
About Abdul Rahman Bazian

I’m Abdul Rahman Bazian — a cooperative activist and entrepreneur based in Amman: two decades building businesses, more than 15 years across newsrooms and marketing teams. I use a grounding in business and economics to turn complex ideas into practical, validated models. You Own Your Reality. So, Take Charge of It.

I started in sales at MetLife Alico 15+ years ago. Successful but restless, I moved to content and marketing at SADDA, then to The Jordan Times while at PSUT. Post-graduation, banks like to recruit Sumaya business graduates. So, I bit but I hated it. So, I left to run AlGhad’s English section and rejoined The Jordan Times in 2018, and became their only consistently full-page writer, specializing in business and economics. Meanwhile, I’d been working on my own startups, i.e. SmarTax and Checkers Inc.

At Al Bawaba Middle East I was brought in to rebuild the business section — content strategy, SEO, benchmarking. With no team or technical support, I drove 118% traffic growth single-handedly, hit 63% of the department’s target on my own, and set the benchmark for the team that followed. This experience, took my news and media expertise to a whole new level. Since then, my focus has shifted from the traditional day-after reporting we did at JT to high-quality new age media and SEO-optimized reporting.

My marketing experience began with SADDA more than a decade ago. Since then: ventures of my own, and consulting for startups on growth and sustainability strategies, SEO content, brand messaging, market research, business planning and resilience. Most recently my work in content helped Proxidize overtake older, larger competitors in the US and EU. Over the years, I’ve worked in startups, global BPOs, local CSOs, iNGOs, news and media, marketing, and more.

I’m a builder. As founder of Checkers Inc., a private-sector cooperative, and of the workers’ cooperative at the heart of the First Youth Cooperative of Jordan, I’ve developed products, grown a shareholder base, onboarded ESOP employees as partners and laid the model’s foundation — launching late 2026.

I create winning growth and resilience strategies. But at a hands-on level, apart from research and strategies, I create bilingual content – writing, translating, localizing and interpreting across both. Bilingual SEO is not a translated keyword list: each language searches and phrases differently, so I build for each on its own terms — content that ranks, and that generative AI cites as a source.
