Selected work

A strategy is only worth what gets built from it.

Research, positioning and a plan are the easy half. The work below is the other half — the brand, the campaigns, the packaging and the assets that put the plan into the market where a customer can actually meet it.

Led by Mido Alhouseini: some as contract engagements, some through Riipen Level Up placements with the Government of Canada, and one where he ran the whole marketing function himself. Each entry says which, because the difference matters when you're deciding whether to trust us.

What a plan has to earn

Four tests every engagement has to pass.

A strategy that doesn't move one of these is a document, not a plan.

Awareness

Found by the people already looking, and remembered by the ones who aren't looking yet.

Cash flow

Spend that can be traced to something real — a booking, an order, a wholesale account.

Uniqueness

A position a competitor can't take from you by dropping their price.

Follow-through

The plan arrives with the assets to run it, not a list of things for you to go and commission.

Strategy, built out

Market entry · Contract engagement, 2026 – present

Van Oven Inc.

Market research · Positioning · Go-to-market · Brand and packaging

A Vancouver wholesale bakery bringing Iraqi and Levantine breads to the Canadian market. The brief was the whole thing: who to sell to, in what order, why they would buy, and what the product looks like when it lands on a distributor's desk.

What LMS did, against the four tests

Uniqueness

  • Positioning developed with the founder, grounded in what the research showed about the market
  • A three-line product portfolio with a job assigned to each: one to open accounts, one to hold them, one to widen the base
  • Logo, brand style guide, and a brand pattern to carry across everything
  • A brand character, giving the identity a face that a competitor can't copy

Cash flow

  • Market sizing, competitor teardown and pricing benchmarks across BC, Alberta and the Pacific Northwest
  • A tiered wholesale account plan
  • A wholesale order sheet with specs, pack sizes and pricing
  • A retail-to-wholesale proof loop to de-risk the launch

Awareness

  • Four-page website, including a wholesale trade inquiry page
  • Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn set up, with templates and highlight icons
  • Google Business Profile
  • Business cards

Follow-through

  • Marketing strategy document and launch campaign plan
  • Packaging: bags, labels across all three lines, and wholesale case wrap
  • Email templates for introduction, announcement and wholesale outreach
  • Full file handover, with IP transferred to the client

In progress, ahead of launch. Fifteen deliverables across research, brand, packaging, web and social — the strategy and everything the strategy asked for, from the same desk.

Service business · Full marketing function, 2024 – 2026

Pampered Auto Care Ltd.

Brand · Web · Paid search · Email automation · B2B outreach

A mobile detailing business where Mido ran the entire marketing function — every asset, every channel, and the phone. Small budget, so the money went to high-intent Google Search rather than brand-building on social. It is the one engagement here where the plan, the assets and the customer conversation all sat with the same person.

What LMS did, against the four tests

Awareness

  • Google Search as the primary paid channel — chosen over social because a small budget needed intent, not reach
  • Door-to-door flyers, plus in-person outreach to body shops and dealerships

Cash flow

  • A recurring monthly service package, designed to turn one-off jobs into repeat revenue
  • Enquiries answered and bookings closed by Mido

Uniqueness

  • Brand, business cards and print assets, built from scratch

Follow-through

  • Website and booking flow, built and run
  • Email automation, including a thank-you after every detail with photographs of the finished vehicle

User acquisition · Riipen Level Up placement, 2026

Sayyara

Market research · Acquisition campaign · Brand guidelines

A $99-a-month shop-management platform for independent auto repair shops, with a finished product and no early users. Getting the first fifteen through the door was the entire problem, and it needed a mechanism rather than an ad budget.

What LMS did, against the four tests

Uniqueness

  • Market and competitive research across the independent auto-repair software category
  • The existing brand refined into documented guidelines

Cash flow

  • The Founder Partner Program — free access for fifteen shops in exchange for usage feedback, ahead of paid conversion

Awareness

  • A three-stage Meta Ads funnel to drive signups
  • A cover, feature and pricing ad template set

Delivered to the founder with the campaign assets ready to run.

Growth strategy · Riipen Level Up placement, 2025

Noorify Counselling

B2B referral strategy · Website audit · Brand assets

A child and youth counselling practice growing on word of mouth alone. Marketing a therapy practice is not like marketing anything else — the constraints are ethical, not just commercial — so the strategy had to work inside them rather than around them.

What LMS did, against the four tests

Cash flow

  • A B2B referral strategy mapping partner categories — clinics, physio, naturopaths, doulas, family law, faith spaces
  • A named prospect list across the Lower Mainland

Awareness

  • A website audit covering CTA structure, navigation, per-service pages for search, and social proof placement
  • A social growth plan, plus SEO and blog strategy
  • A six-month workshop calendar, built as an awareness channel

Uniqueness

  • A marketing ethics framework: no fear-based messaging, no outcome guarantees, confidentiality throughout

Follow-through

  • Flyers, business cards and social promos delivered alongside the strategy

The website recommendations were adopted and implemented.

Program design · Riipen Level Up placement, 2025

IITTI — World Civility Index

Ambassador program design · Campus awareness

IITTI certifies soft skills through its World Civility Index and needed awareness on campuses it had no presence on. The answer was a student ambassador program, designed end to end and handed over ready to run.

What LMS did, against the four tests

Awareness

  • A student ambassador program positioned as an awareness and signup channel, with students promoting the credential to peers
  • A/B variants of the campus recruitment poster

Follow-through

  • Eligibility, selection, training and advocacy structure, handed over ready to run

Ongoing content · Volunteer, 2024 – 2025

KMK Living & Mabel Brewing

Social content · Newsletter · Analytics

Day-to-day social content across platforms, the bi-weekly newsletter, and performance tracking used to steer what got made next. The closest thing here to what monthly growth support looks like in practice, month after month.
