About Nikolai

You don't have a content problem, you have a system problem.


Your Insta channel thrives on 'in-between' ideas, Reels are created last minute, the team never quite knows what's next, and yet you expect reach, leads, and sales.

This is exactly where I come in with Soulful Media.
I support brands and agencies with depth, building a clear, video-first content system from loose social media content:

  • Social Media that runs like a common thread through your brand
  • Reels that don't look like a lucky hit, but perform predictably
  • Hooks, stories, and series that keep your community coming back

With Soulful Media, I'll guide you from 'We just post stuff' to 'Our social media channel is a real growth driver.' Focusing on Instagram, TikTok, Reels, and short-form video content that can be directly repurposed for paid ads.

If you feel your brand has more depth than is currently visible in the feed, let's make it a system that fits you, your team, and your clients.

    In this project, the Creative Strategy Team at sofatutor gained a reliable partner for high-performing short-form ads in the paid social space.

    Based on script, briefing, and UGC material, 6 variants of a video creative for Meta Ads were produced, including material review, editing, subtitles, text overlays, and format adaptations (9:16 and 4:5).

    With considered hook optimization, a clean workflow, and quick implementation of feedback, campaign-ready ads are available that can be directly integrated into Meta campaigns and further scaled.

    Creative System for Scaling D2C Brands


    For the agency AdsBest, I worked for over 3 years as an external creative team for several D2C brands. I built a recurring creative system: UGC sourcing, creator briefings, feedback, post-production, and hook development were continuously managed by me.
    This provided the performance teams with fresh, brand-aligned creatives for testing every week, allowing the agency to focus on strategy and scaling.

    Reliable Creative Supply Instead of Individual Lucky Hits


    For prepmymeal, I produced 3-5 new ad creatives weekly with multiple hook variations. Based on planned concepts, I handled post-production, created landing page videos, and built a system of reusable end cards, fonts, footage pools, and music. Result: A steady stream of testable, high-performing ads instead of isolated lucky hits.
