Wanted to be a journalist. Wasn't even on Facebook.
Zero interest in social media, until I realised that's exactly where people would get their news. So that's where I went.
Faheem Nasir · Marketing strategist, entrepreneur & broadcaster
Ten years in marketing. I come up with the idea, then I make it happen. I've built a marketing team from zero, run campaigns for government, presented live radio, and I still get asked one thing more than anything else: "how could we do this creatively?"
Hi, I'm Faheem
Dad. Marketer. Idea machine.
I build marketing from zero for businesses where trust decides the sale, with content as the engine. Campaigns people remember. Teams that outgrow me. Content that gets made, not talked about.
Not busy work. The kind of idea that gives a campaign a reason to exist, then gets a yes in the room.
At Logically I wore every hat, built each part myself, then hired someone brilliant to take it over. Pre-seed to Series A, zero to a team of eight.
Government, startup, education, telecoms, transport. Behaviour-change campaigns for UK government departments at Zinc Network. A 200k-install app launch at Logically. Louno Space into schools. A recruitment funnel built from zero for Sherwood. And award entries that keep getting shortlisted.
Producer first. I script it, shoot it, present it and get it out. Filmed for real and posted rather than perfected.
How a wannabe journalist ended up building marketing teams. Drag sideways.
Zero interest in social media, until I realised that's exactly where people would get their news. So that's where I went.
Still chasing journalism. It taught me to read people and power, which turned out to be the whole job.

Mid-campaign at Logically
Senior Social Media Manager to Head of Marketing and Brand. Global leadership team. 200k+ app installs, 10k+ YouTube subscribers, and the CEO onto Forbes 30 Under 30.
Hosted by Shah Rukh Khan. The idea, the making and the reach, in one sentence.

Live on air
Then every week. Now Saturday mornings, live on DAB, once or twice a month. Still going. Live radio is the best training there is in thinking on your feet.
Part-time, Dec 2022 to Mar 2024. Space education for schools, teachers and parents. Ran the marketing strategy, and set up and presented the company podcast.
Sherwood T Group, Gigabit IQ and more. Six award shortlists across two clients, every entry written by me.
Marketing is the most humbling job there is. The badge doesn't change that.
Recruiters read the CV. This bit is for anyone who wants to know who they'd be working with.
People come to me for two things. Cheering up, and ideas.
Taught me patience, how to understand people at their core, and reminds me what I live for.
Years in marketing, government campaigns to startup leadership.
Samosas, in a row, without flinching. Peer reviewed. By me.
Reads the room before reading the brief.
Marketing is a humbling job. You spend 100 hours on something, day and night, obsessing over every detail. It gets 100 views. Then a 20-minute idea goes viral.
It's also the easiest place in a business to waste time. I've done it. You can do a hundred things and call it marketing. Only a handful move anything. I learned that the hard way, and it's why I'm picky about what gets made.
