Go-to-market with real local knowledge
Mall landlords, franchise partners, the retail calendar and city-by-city demand. It comes from people who have worked the floor here, not from a desk abroad.

MINA+ takes retail and consumer brands into the Middle East & North Africa, and helps them grow once they’re here. We combine real local knowledge, AI‑driven analysis and in‑store craft, and our founder has done it before.

Three international brands brought to MENA shoppers, each with results measured in sales, not impressions.
The founder was a leading member of the ideation committee that shaped the brand’s entry into the GCC. The work covered how the brand would show up, where it would open and what would make shoppers queue on day one.
A launch built around regional beauty rituals, creator-led discovery and in-store experiences that turned trial into repeat purchase.
Depth over breadth. One market, worked hard, with community, culture and a store estate built around how people there actually move.
Results achieved in the founder’s previous roles before MINA+. Brand names are withheld for confidentiality.
A retail and consumer marketer who has helped bring major international brands to MENA shoppers, and measured the results in sales.
Before founding MINA+, she was a leading member of the ideation committee behind a European fast-fashion brand’s entry into the GCC, a launch that drove $71M of in-store sales in its first year. She has since helped deliver $30M for a US beauty brand in ten months and $31M for a US athleisure brand in a single MENA country in one year.
MINA+ is built on what she learned along the way. The brands that win here pair rigorous data with real respect for local culture, and they still invest in the magic of a great store.

AI does the heavy lifting so people can make the calls.
Every campaign is made for the market, not translated for it.
