Five reel covers side by side on a dark ground: a red interview reel, a cream and gold anniversary title, a Start-Up Series “Go global” call to apply, a green interview reel in Hindi, and “The India Roadshow”.

Context

Short-form reels for the UAE–India CEPA Council’s social media, made through Envoy Strategy in 2024 and 2025. They ran on Instagram.

My role

What I did

  • Concept, motion design, edit and sound.
  • Tools: After Effects and Premiere Pro.

The system

Two looks run through the reels. The Council’s own reels use red, green and white, with white concentric arcs behind the subject, the Council’s logo at the top and a bold condensed headline. The recurring “Driving the UAE–India economic growth story” interviews follow this layout in English and in Hindi.

The UAE–India Start-Up Series reels follow the Series’ own identity: a red-to-blue gradient with white type, the series line “Pitch ↗ Partner ↗ Prosper” and its arrow mark at the foot of the frame.
