Our Story

Asalamu alaykum, my name is Faisal, and I've been working in Social Media since 2015. 

I initially started out by growing my own social media account where I shared my poetry (@thesmilingakh), amassing over 45,000 followers and becoming an influencer. As an influencer I collaborated with brands and charities, like the NHS, growing my social media as a Hobby.

In 2018, I entered into my first social media role where I joined M.I.N (Muslim Influencer Network) as an intern, managing social media channels and influencers. From here I grew an interest into algorithms, content and truly using social media to make a difference.

I spent over 4 years as the social media manager at the charity Muslim Hands, developing my skills in video editing, graphic-design, strategy and most importantly, understanding the digital Muslim market. This led me to become the Social media Executive at Wahed invest, where I was involved in global campaigns alongside some of the biggest Muslim names.

This has given me the experience to truly create meaningful content and grow social media channels to help you reach your goals and objectives - leading to the birth of Barakah Branding!

Since December 2024, I’ve gone full-time with Barakah Branding, managing a team, and serving over 14 clients Alhamdulilah.
