Transform SPF from a basic step to a must-have ritual by emotionally connecting with Murad’s modern skincare audience. The goal: bold, testable ad concepts that speak directly to skincare-literate, aesthetic-savvy users.
Strategy + Concept + Copywriting
Developed four emotionally-led ad directions through concise, scroll-stopping lines:
Each ad was explored with different visual hierarchies (copy-led vs. product-led), formats (static, story, Pinterest-style), and tone treatments. Used ChatGPT-4 for concept exploration and Foreplay.co for competitive swipe research.
Crafted a surreal image ad for Murad SPF 45, designed to feel like protection.
A glowing orb floats above the product, shielded by a skin-like forcefield; selling the sensation, not just the science.
Tools Used: MidJourney, ChatGPT-4
Refined the original visual with a warm glow, stronger social proof (“Best Seller”), and crisper copy. Tiny tweaks, premium difference.

When I joined BookMyShow as a Social Media Marketing Intern, the brand’s Instagram content primarily focused on announcements of upcoming shows and post-concert videos. While informative, this approach lacked the relatability and engagement needed to captivate the platform’s core audience: Gen Z. The challenge was to transform the content strategy to not only inform but also entertain, creating a sense of FOMO that would resonate with this demographic. Initially, reels averaged between 2,000 to 6,000 views, indicating a need for a fresh, trend-driven approach to boost visibility and engagement.
To address this, I reimagined the content strategy by shifting the focus from purely promotional posts to creating engaging, relatable, and trend-driven content. I leveraged Instagram’s algorithm by crafting reels that tapped into trending audio, memes, and cultural moments, ensuring the content was not only relevant but also highly shareable. By blending announcements with entertaining and visually appealing reels, I created a balance that appealed to Gen Z’s desire for both information and entertainment.
This journey taught me so much about creating content that not only looks good but actually drives real results. The experience reinforced my belief that marketing is about making meaningful connections, not just increasing numbers.
When creative burnout hit our team at BookMyShow, we decided to break free from our routine content. On a whim, we transformed our office into a playful backdrop for a creative reinterpretation of one of our favorite songs.
What started as a fun project born from boredom turned into our most memorable content piece. The reel garnered over 900K impressions, but the real magic happened when Farhan Akhtar himself reposted it to his story.
That moment, seeing the notification, the team’s screams echoing through the office, the pure disbelief, was the greatest reward of my social media career. It reminded me that authentic creativity resonates far beyond metrics and that sometimes, the most impactful content comes from simply creating something you love.
When I started at ExpatInsure, I was eager to understand how social media could truly transform a brand’s presence. I found myself completely immersed in developing strategies that would make our digital platforms come alive. By experimenting with different content approaches and closely monitoring audience reactions, I managed to increase our followers and boost engagement. It wasn’t just about numbers, it was about creating meaningful connections. Each post, each interaction became an opportunity to tell our brand’s story and reach out to the expat community in a way that felt genuine and personal.
Producing videos was like telling a story, something I’ve always been passionate about. I took on the challenge of creating over 30 short videos, handling everything from writing the script to filming and editing. Each video was more than just content; it was a chance to break down complex insurance concepts into something relatable. I remember spending hours crafting narratives that would resonate with our audience, thinking about how to make insurance feel less intimidating and more approachable. It was about transforming technical information into human stories that could connect and inspire.
My work with Meta ads was truly an adventure in digital marketing. I saw each ad as an opportunity to pioneer something unique. By securing creative partnerships with influencers in expat communities, I wasn’t just running ads, I was building bridges. The goal was always to generate quality leads, and I managed to generate leads through carefully crafted campaigns. It wasn’t about overwhelming people with information, but about creating targeted, meaningful interactions that could genuinely help people understand their insurance needs.
