AI Content Workflow for Multilingual Publishing

Content production was manual, slow, and hard to scale across multiple platforms and languages. Every post required separate handling — no system, no consistency.

A fully automated content engine running across 3 languages and 4 platforms — with consistent output and no manual bottlenecks.

Organic Growth System for E-commerce Search Visibility

A startup e-commerce site with only 50 daily visitors and zero search presence in a competitive market. No content system, no keyword strategy, no backlink foundation.

Dominant search presence built over 2 years — from an invisible site to a market leader in organic search.

Google Ads Campaign for Francophone Africa Lead Generation

The company needed qualified immigration leads from French-speaking African countries — a niche, high-intent audience that required a full funnel built from scratch.

One of the highest-performing campaigns in the account — strong conversion rate on a long, complex form targeting a competitive international audience.

RAG Assistant for Faster, More Consistent Sales Replies

The sales team was responding to leads inconsistently — especially when working remotely. They lacked quick access to each lead's profile and the company's sales strategy, which slowed response time and hurt conversion.

Faster, more consistent sales responses — even outside office hours. The sales team closed more leads with less effort and fewer missed follow-ups.

    Merry Christmas from Santa

    For Christmas 2026, the goal was not just to post another holiday greeting. The video had to carry the warmth of the season while also strengthening trust in the Parsis Immigration brand. That led to a simple idea that felt both playful and strategic: let Santa deliver the message. The final piece was produced in English, French, and Persian so it could feel personal and familiar across different parts of the audience, while still keeping the brand front and center.

    Go Habs Go — A Fan Anthem for the Montreal Canadiens

    A 1:11 fan music video produced for the Montreal Canadiens supporter community, moving from the team's 1909 origins through its legends and into the current roster. The goal was to push the latest capabilities of each tool in the pipeline as far as they would go. Claude handled script, song structure, and a ten-scene shot breakdown. Suno produced the original track. GPT Image 2 was run through Codex, where the full scenario, style guide, and prompt set were defined as a structured project so every keyframe stayed inside a single visual system. Seedance 2.0 animated the ten scenes using three different generation strategies depending on what each shot needed. Final assembly in CapCut. The core challenge was consistency: ten scenes spanning a century of players, different lighting conditions, and different camera angles, all needing to read as one piece.

    Francophone Express Entry for African Audiences

    This video was created for an Instagram campaign focused on the Francophone Express Entry pathway for French speaking audiences in Africa. A strong first hook mattered, so I did not want the opening to sound overly formal or too safe. Instead, I used an AI presenter with a polished but approachable look and shaped the script to sit somewhere between brand credibility and natural conversation. The result was a piece designed to stop the scroll without losing the tone Parsis needed to maintain.

    Tara Covers the Express Entry Changes

    When new changes were announced in Canada's Express Entry system, the video needed to feel informative, timely, and visually grounded. I built it by combining an AI presenter, interview style news visuals, and real footage from Canada so the update would feel closer to an actual media piece rather than a plain explainer. This project also introduced Tara, a custom designed AI presenter created to feel more aligned with the Parsis brand across both English and Persian content.

    What Happens After You Get an ITA

    A surprising number of applicants lose their opportunity after receiving an invitation because documents are incomplete or the submission process takes too long. This video was made to explain that risk quickly and clearly, without overwhelming the viewer. I used an AI presenter designed for Francophone content and focused on delivering the problem and the solution in a short format that could work well in a campaign environment.

    Tara on the CN Tower

    For this immigration update, I wanted the opening to do more than introduce the topic. It needed a visual hook strong enough to make people stop before the message even began. So instead of starting with a standard presenter shot, I placed Tara on the edge of Toronto's CN Tower, speaking to the camera while it slowly pulls away. The scene was designed to create tension and curiosity first, then carry the viewer into the actual update.

05 - ProfileA short note on the practice
Saleh Akbari
Short note

A digital marketer who builds the systems that make the work last.

My career started in making things — audio, video, photography, digital content that people actually engaged with. Over time that creative foundation expanded into SEO, paid campaigns, social strategy, and eventually into the AI automation systems that now sit underneath the work.

That range is deliberate. I don’t think about content, performance, and automation as separate jobs. I think about them as a sequence, and I’m at my best when I can move across all three. Right now I’m looking for a team where that kind of ownership actually matters.
