@sohailzamakhan
I lead brand identities and campaigns across print, digital, and outdoor media.
Saudi ArabiaWhat I'm looking for
I've led creative direction at Arabia Pictures Entertainment for more than 100 clients and 500 projects, guiding design teams from brief to final delivery across print, digital, and outdoor media. My work has supported clients including Sipchem, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Interior, Peugeot, Changan, and Almajdouie Group.
I've shaped visual strategies for the European Film Festival and other film festival campaigns, delivering multi-format promotional materials under demanding event timelines. Previously at Brand786 Global, I developed the complete brand identity and key poster for One Day in the Haram, one of the first films based on the Kaaba.
Across Saudi Arabia, the UK, France, Mauritius, and India, I bring 20+ years of experience in brand strategy, visual identity, campaign design, creative research, and quality control. I use Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and AI-powered visual generation to build consistent, audience-aware creative work.
