Mohamed MagdyCreative Director

One decision, made everywhere.

Creative Director, Dubai

I turn brand strategy into a visual idea, then into the system that carries it across markets, formats and languages. Today I lead digital creative at GMG for Nike, adidas, Puma and Sun & Sand Sports. Before that, Tamara, Amazon and Al-Futtaim.

Approach

Strategy first. Then one idea, held everywhere.

Find the local truth.

Global brands arrive with global campaigns. The work that lands starts from something only this market knows: the heat that shapes when people train, the majlis where pride lives, the old town people call home.

Decide once. Apply everywhere.

One light, one colour, one rule for how the product sits in frame. A decision made early and held across every banner, film and language does more than a new idea every week.

The product is the proof.

Every crest, sponsor and stitch checked against the real thing. Craft is not a finish at the end. It is what makes a brand believable.

New tools, same standard.

I use AI where it helps: to extend a shoot into film, or to deliver product pages without a studio day. It moves budget from production to ideas. It never lowers the bar.

Profile

Twelve years across brand, retail and product.

I have led creative in-house at retailers, a fintech and one of the world's largest marketplaces, and I now lead digital creative for global sports brands across the Gulf.

That mix taught me to think like the business and design like the brand: start from the commercial problem, find the insight, and build a system a team can run without me in the room.
