Najwa Sebbahi
SVP Creative Director
Propel Health Communications
Tenafly, NJ
Najwa Sebbahi leads the creative department at Propel Health Communications, where strategy and imagination meet. She sets the creative vision, pushes ideas beyond the expected, and ensures every piece of work delivers at the highest level of craft and impact. With more than 16 years in advertising, Najwa has built a career creating award-winning campaigns that do more than capture attention - they shift perspectives, influence behavior, and drive meaningful business results.
Her work has earned widespread recognition, including two Creative Floor Awards for a campaign that helped reframe how the world sees girls living with Rett syndrome, celebrating their ability to experience adventure, possibility, and joy just like any child. Najwa’s work has also been honored by MM+M and PM360 across the heart disease and psoriasis therapeutic spaces.
Beyond creating award-winning work, Najwa helps shape the future of the industry. She has served as a judge for the Cleo Health Awards and the London International Awards, and remains an active FIT alumna, mentoring and judging creative portfolios for graduating seniors as they prepare to enter the field.
Najwa thrives on bringing bold, unexpected ideas to life - balancing creative ambition with strategic rigor and brand integrity. As the leader of a large, multidisciplinary team, she is known for building trusted client partnerships, making thoughtful, decisive calls, solving complex challenges, and coaching teams to do their best work.
When she’s not driving creative excellence, Najwa finds inspiration wandering museum halls around the world - or closer to home, embracing everyday adventures and playtime with her family.
