About Me

Hi, I'm Mirihan.

I'm a results-driven Creative Marketing Director with 9+ years of experience across the Gulf market. I specialize in building scalable content systems that generate millions of views — using AI, storytelling, and data-driven strategy.

What sets me apart: I personally own the full content pipeline — from concept and scripting through AI visual direction (MidJourney, Runway) to final edit. I don't hand off creative decisions. I make them.

Creator Ecosystem

Building & Directing Creator Networks

Scaling 58+ brand accounts meant scaling content beyond what one in-house team could shoot alone. Alongside my creative team, I built and directed networks of UGC creators and influencers — writing briefs, setting brand-safety guardrails, and reviewing every piece of outside content before it went live.

Creator Briefs & Frameworks

Wrote structured briefs so creators could produce on-brand content independently, from hook to CTA.

Brand-Safe UGC Review

Reviewed and approved creator content against tone-of-voice and visual identity guidelines before publishing.

Creator & Influencer Sourcing

Identified and onboarded creators suited to each brand's audience across pharmacy, retail and beauty.

Team-Led Production Pipeline

Directed a creative team of 8 that briefed, shot and edited alongside external creators for consistent output at scale.

The Challenge

Sultan Pharmacy had 58+ pharmacy and wellness brand accounts posting generic product photos with price tags. No storytelling, no visual identity, no content strategy — engagement was flat and the brand had zero discoverability.

My Strategy

  • Pivoted from product-centric posts to emotion-driven storytelling Reels
  • Introduced AI-powered content production (MidJourney, Runway, CapCut) — first in Kuwait's pharmacy sector
  • Built a unified content ecosystem for 58+ accounts: calendars, pillars, tone guides
  • Managed all paid media in-house: Meta, Google, TikTok with A/B testing and retargeting
  • Built and led a creative team of 8 with SOPs and weekly reviews
10.5M views in 90 days. 140K+ followers, 849K accounts reached (+60.1%). 81.5% of views came from non-followers — proof the content was discovered and shared at scale.

The Challenge

Offers & Only needed both a digital strategy and a physical brand presence — from Instagram content and paid campaigns to in-store branding, pharmacy stands, and shelf displays across Kuwait.

My Strategy

  • Developed a complete social strategy: calendar, visual identity, bilingual AR/EN content
  • Designed and produced physical branding: stands, shelf displays, in-store signage
  • Planned Ramadan campaigns, seasonal promotions, and national content (Al-Arfaj)
  • Maintained high publishing cadence: 48 posts in March, 42 in April
  • Built growth through community content and wellness storytelling
6.7M views in 90 days with 68.3% from non-followers. Reach grew +70.5% to 823K, profile visits +25.3% to 48K. Monthly views surged 174K → 293K (Jan–Mar), +116% growth.

The Challenge

Pharmalife needed a complete visual overhaul — from brand identity and design systems to social content that could compete in the premium beauty and wellness space in Kuwait.

My Strategy

  • Delivered end-to-end brand identity: logo, color system, typography, photography, guidelines
  • Led full rebranding of existing product lines with updated visual systems
  • Created premium content for skincare and haircare products (Crescina, Fillerina, Labo)
  • Produced Ramadan and Eid campaigns with culturally resonant Arabic-first content
  • Introduced 3D content production using Blender for differentiated visuals
  • Mentored a team of 4 designers with brand review pipelines
2.35M views in 60 days with 84.4% from non-followers — the highest non-follower share across all managed brands. Reach grew +54.3% to 412K; profile visits surged +32% to nearly 13K.
