Mohamed Magdy · Creative Director · UAE

Brand ideas, built to travel.

Creative Director with 12+ years across brand, campaigns and content in MENA and Europe, for Nike, adidas, Amazon, Tamara and GMG. I lead teams from the first idea to the final frame, and I use AI where it makes the work faster and better.

What teams hire me for

Four problems I solve.

Most briefs I get start with one of these. Each one ends with a system the team keeps using after the campaign is live.

Speed

The launch is next week. The shoot is still a quote.

Campaign ready in days, not weeks.

Scale

One hero image. Two hundred placements to fill.

One idea, built as a system.

Consistency

Every market runs a slightly different brand.

One standard across every channel.

Craft

The idea is right. The execution looks like everyone else.

Work people stop scrolling for.

How I work

Idea. System. Scale.

The same three moves on every brief, whether it is a kit launch, a rebrand or a new AI workflow for a team of twenty.

Idea

Find the one thing worth saying

Insight, platform and a clear point of view before a single pixel. References first, tools second.

System

Build it to travel

Identity rules, templates and a visual language that land the same in a store window, a feed and a PDP.

Scale

Make it run every week

AI production, clear review steps and a team that ships the work weekly, not once a quarter.

A strength, not a title

Craft first. AI where it helps.

AI is one of my tools. I use it to move faster, test more routes and put products in worlds a shoot could not reach. Every frame still goes through the same three checks, whether it came from a camera or a model.

  • A point of view before a promptIdea and references come first. The tools follow the idea.
  • A director approves every frameNothing ships on the strength of a prompt alone.
  • Checked against the real productLogo, colour, construction and fit, before it leaves.

Capabilities

What I lead.

Start with the first. It is the one most teams need.

01Creative direction

Campaign platforms, launch ideas and the visual language that carries them. I set the direction, brief the teams and approve every frame that goes out.

  • Campaign platforms
  • Art direction
  • Launch concepts
  • Creative reviews
02AI production

On-model PDP, product in any world, CGI and short films, made with AI and checked against the real product. Built for speed without losing the brand.

  • Product anywhere
  • Films and CGI
  • PDP at scale
  • Quality control
03Brand systems

Identities, guidelines and templates that let a team produce on-brand work without me in the room. Tested across retail, social, OOH and in-app.

  • Identity
  • Guidelines
  • Templates
  • Sub-brands
04Campaigns and launches

Kit launches, seasonal moments and product drops, from the first idea to the store window, homepage, email and feed.

  • Kit launches
  • Seasonal and local
  • Omnichannel
  • Social
05Team leadership

I build and run creative teams: hiring, reviews and the workflows that let designers adopt AI with confidence instead of fear.

  • Hiring
  • Mentoring
  • AI adoption
  • Process
