About Imen

Hi, I’m Imen. I help entrepreneurs, small businesses, and founders transform their vision into brands that stand out, connect emotionally, and grow with purpose.

For 20 years, I’ve worked across 30+ countries, guiding +100s brands across food, drinks, wellness, beauty and personal care categories. I've worked with ambitious local start-ups (Oyess, Ouity, …), Fortune 100 firms (Unilever, Henkel, L’Oréal, Danone, Mondelez…), and regional businesses (Dabur, Marico, Americana).
I have a master diploma in marketing then in communication, followed by post graduate degrees in graphic design and in AI growth marketing.

As a founder myself (INTERCULT BRANDS), I know the daily hustle of building a business. That’s why I blend big-brand expertise with practical, entrepreneurial insight; helping you cut through the brain fog and focus on what makes your brand shine.

Today, I dedicate part of my time to supporting local brands with the same strategic rigor and creative insight I offer global clients, so they can turn small beginnings into strong brands. I created this space to give back: empowering solopreneurs with accessible access to senior-level brand and marketing expertise.
I take on very few projects — step forward and join the happy few.

I can help in:
• Brand Strategy (Market analysis, Brand audit, Positioning, Purpose, Values, persona)
• Brand look & feel (creative semiotics, design concepts, visual guidance)
• Naming (brand name creation, class choice, trademark screening, domain availability, taglines)
• Consultation on Growth marketing (Marketing strategy audit, Inbound marketing/content, Outbound marketing/new business)
• Coaching (Personal branding/CV & IG & LKD, Mentorship in entrepreneurship)
• Masterclass (courses in growth marketing, graphic design foundations, graphic design history, creative semiotics, design agency process)
