A little bit about me
I’m Baher, a Creative Director deeply committed to transforming and elevating brands with innovative creative strategies and human-centric ideas that deliver significant and meaningful business impacts. My passion lies in creating connections between brands and their audiences, crafting messages that resonate on a deeply personal level.
With over 18 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to the growth and recognition of national brands across a variety of media, including film, interactive, media activations, and branded content. My work has been honored with 40 international awards, showcasing my ability to blend creativity with strategic insight. These accolades include Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, LIA, Loeries, Epica Awards, and Dubai Lynx, among others.
My career path has led me through prestigious agencies such as J. Walter Thompson, Agency 222 (Qatar), and Cheil MEA. In these roles, I’ve spearheaded campaigns for high-profile clients like Vodafone, Samsung, Nespresso, New Balance, VW, Talabat, Nestle, Al Jazeera, Birell, Nokia, Renault, Line, and Virgin Mobile. Each project has been an opportunity to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation, ensuring that each brand’s message is heard loud and clear.”
