An Entrepreneurial Force in the Gulf’s Creative Landscape In 2006, Ebrahim launched OTB Creative Concepts—a boutique agency specializing in communications, PR, events, and interior design. Driven by a passion for mega events, he collaborated with Kuwait’s Amiri Court on some of the country’s most iconic national celebrations, including the grand opening of Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Stadium, the 50th Constitution Anniversary Fireworks, the GCC Summit, and the inauguration of Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Museum. In 2010, Ebrahim extended his creative footprint by founding The Hub Gallery and Hubs Café—a unique destination blending art, fashion, and food within a restored heritage home in Kuwait. This concept became a cultural haven for both locals and international visitors. Simultaneously, he expanded into Doha by establishing State Media, a creative and branding firm serving the region’s evolving communication needs. A Strategic Marketer with Regional Impact Ebrahim’s career began in the marketing division of Gulf International Bank, where he managed major offshore accounts across the MENA region. In 2002, he joined Marriott International as Regional Executive Manager, leading alliance accounts in Doha and Kuwait. His success in Kuwait included securing strategic contracts in the oil and gas sector, solidifying the group’s market presence in the Gulf
