Farhan Mohamed, CO-FOUNDER & CEO, OVERSTORY MEDIA GROUP

Farhan Mohamed flitted between art and criminology after high school, but longed to study business. It wasn’t until a friend pointed out that he had a knack for social media that he started to look at other avenues. He realized that social media is more than just creating personal connections – it’s about brand development. During his time in university, social media was quickly shaping the way we live our lives and digest journalism, and he knew how to use it to his advantage. A decision left to fate took him to Capilano University, where he aggressively pursued his desire to study business. He joined the Marketing Association as an extracurricular and, as he says, the rest is history.  

Today, Mohamed is the Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Hive, one of the most popular online-only publications in Canada, and chair of CapU’s Alumni Association. He’s always firmly believed in having a strong community connection – which is what has allowed Daily Hive to succeed. Recently, he spoke with the Capilano Courier about his ties with the community and how he navigates the ever-changing media landscape.
