Building a Personal Brand on Social Media
Challenge
Researcher Karim El Abed El Alaoui was a well-established expert in alternative medicine, but his social media presence did not reflect his real-world authority. Starting in February 2023, his online following was minimal — particularly on Instagram (100 followers) and YouTube (11,700), with moderate traction on Facebook and TikTok. He needed a strategy to reach the Moroccan public at scale, educate them about natural health, and convert that visibility into real business growth across his centers in Morocco.

Solution
The approach was built around short-form educational video content (60–90 seconds), extracted from longer conferences or recorded directly to camera — keeping production simple but effective. All content was delivered in Moroccan Darija to ensure cultural connection and accessibility.
A disciplined twice-per-week posting schedule was maintained across platforms, with topics tied to seasonal health themes to stay timely and relevant. On-screen text was added for clarity, and content was strategically repurposed across channels. The entire strategy rested on six pillars: authenticity, credibility, free educational value, consistency, cultural relevance, and smart content repurposing.
