Challenge
Umar Ashraf had a good following on social media platforms such as Instagram, but he wanted to take his online presence and his business to a whole new level. Our main goal was to get Umar Ashraf featured on top-tier media publications in order to boost his brand credibility. So we needed to leverage our network of connections to get him featured on some of the biggest media outlets that we have access to.
To authenticate his brand and give it a boost, Umar Ashraf also wanted to get his Instagram account verified. He had struggled to achieve this in the past, and had hired many agencies that had failed to deliver.
