(1) Karim Othman® is a curated library of creative references, built from work that has proven its value through continued use. It brings together sound, film, writing, and material that continue to inform how ideas are developed, tested, and executed in practice, across different stages of the creative process. Spanning multiple disciplines—music, design, film, and art—the library reflects a considered approach to input. It is shaped through selection and return, not volume or trend. Each reference is included for its ability to remain relevant, offering insight into the thinking, process, and standards that underpin meaningful creative work, and how those standards are applied over time.

Selected work

Cairo Office

5–4 Al Shawarbi St, Bab Al Louq Abdeen, Cairo Governorate, Egypt

The agency carries more than its founders' grandfather's first name. Like Bruno, the people here share a childlike spirit: curious, wide-eyed and generous. Even the most technical minds have a creative eye (and even the most creative have a technical hand). We engage with the desire to understand, we work with the desire to learn. With that in mind, we made it a rule that clients would always deal directly with the specialists assigned to their project. To move forward, nothing beats being able to speak, to listen, to actually talk to one another.

Every newcomer is welcomed with their own world and we dive into it willingly. That richness of tastes, references and experiences is inseparable from our work. It feeds our thinking and, ultimately, our output. The day we grow weary will be the day we take our final bow.
