Hi, I’m Rehan Shabir. I’m a Creative Strategist and former CEO with a track record of turning bold ideas into compelling brand narratives and growth-focused campaigns across channels. I love shaping audience insights, crafting cross‑platform content strategies, and leading teams to deliver results from concept to paid media execution. Most recently I led creative strategy and growth at Breakthrough Capital, where I built end-to-end campaigns, drove revenue to around $300k+ per month, and established a scalable brand framework without heavy reliance on influencer spend. I’m passionate about turning complex briefs into simple, differentiating messages and owning the journey from ideation to impact.
