Hey there, I’m Karen Maroun, based in Dubai. Let’s skip the typical third-person bio and get real.

I kicked off my career working alongside creatives at Leo Burnett Beirut, where we crafted award-winning campaigns that still rack up awards we brag about at parties. From there, I made the leap into Film Direction, where I now bring stories to life—whether through films, ads, music videos, or creative content. With experience on both the production and agency sides, I know how to make bold ideas work in the real world, balancing creativity with hands-on execution. I’ve always believed in the power of advertising and film to entertain and inspire change, proving that great storytelling can make a real impact.

When I’m not directing, you’ll find me traveling, savoring good food, enjoying music, and exploring the world through my lens. If you’re looking for someone who tells great stories, brings bold ideas to life, and knows how to have fun doing it—I’m your person.
