Artificial Intelligence — The DNA of Saudi Arabia's Transformation
Artificial Intelligence — The DNA of Saudi Arabia's TransformationFig. 01.1

Five years of reports chronicling a kingdom's transformation, and the digital library that carries them to the world.

Overview

IDC Saudi Arabia entrusted us to architect a comprehensive report each year illustrating the vision and progress of the Kingdom's transformation plan, complemented by a multifunctional website serving as a digital repository for these documents of change.

The Challenge

The plan was dynamic, evolving and multi-faceted. Each report had to communicate a yearly evolution without losing the coherence of the overarching narrative, and the website had to host the reports while managing client relationships with a global audience.

The Solution

An annual visual epic for each transformational year, from “Envisioning an ICT-led Approach” to “Artificial Intelligence — The DNA of Saudi Arabia's Transformation”. Alongside it, an elegant digital library where every report can be downloaded, built with a client relationship management system that keeps IDC in dialogue with its readers.

Company profile — Discover Our StoryFig. 02.1

From stationery to editorials and campaigns, a new brand standard that made every piece a verse in Rotana's story.

Overview

We partnered with Rotana to shape their visual communication, from stationery and websites to editorials and marketing campaigns. It was about more than marketing needs: it was about overhauling and directing their brand narrative.

The Challenge

An unclear brand direction and an undefined aesthetic identity. Our task was not just to fill marketing gaps but to become the creative guidepost for the brand.

The Solution

A new brand standard, from fonts to colours, creating a visual language that echoed in every editorial, emailer, certificate and campaign. The website design remained unfinished when the partnership ended, but its blueprint carried the evolved narrative.

Stationery, KATIM and the Cybersecurity Strategy deckFig. 03.1

Two sub-brands, a presentation system and the KATIM phone film series for a cybersecurity leader.

Overview

DarkMatter, a renowned cybersecurity firm, came to us to foster a robust brand image and explain the intricacies of its security solutions — from the genesis of two sub-brands and custom PowerPoint templates to presentations and a series of high-calibre videos.

The Challenge

Conveying complex security to diverse audiences is a persistent challenge. Beyond the brands and presentations, we had to create explanatory videos for the KATIM phone, DarkMatter's highly secure mobile device.

The Solution

Two distinct sub-brands that also shaped DarkMatter's overall identity, and presentations built on custom templates that reflect its authority. The apex was the KATIM video series: a complex cybersecurity narrative rendered, from script to screen, into engaging visual stories.

Salam Products Portfolio — English and Arabic editionsFig. 04.1

A year of service booklets — each edition an advance on the last — and animations that make every service clear.

Overview

With IDC, for its client Salam, a year-long project of visual solutions across print and digital: multiple versions of a service offering booklet, and custom animations explaining each service.

The Challenge

A delicate balance between consistency and evolution: every new version of the booklet had to advance the previous one, and each animation had to distil a complex service into an understandable story.

The Solution

Several iterations of the booklet in English and Arabic, each evolving in design and content while holding the brand together, and custom animations that turned complex offerings into engaging visual stories.

Launch presentationFig. 05.1

A launch presentation with custom animation and meticulous image work, from “Nissan Next” to “The Power of Z”.

Overview

Nissan asked us to develop a captivating, detailed presentation for a new car launch — design, intricate animations and comprehensive image editing for a presentation that was truly unique.

The Challenge

With a brand as esteemed as Nissan, the presentation had to stand out in design and quality and land with every stakeholder. Custom animation and edited imagery demanded meticulous attention to detail.

The Solution

An exceptionally detailed presentation brought to life with custom-made animation, every image carefully edited for a seamless visual experience. It was well received internally and externally, reaffirming Nissan's reputation for innovation.

Identify Your Organizational Resiliency — report spreadsFig. 06.1

A web portal that assesses digital resilience and writes each client their own report.

Overview

With IDC and SAP we developed a custom web portal to assess clients' digital resilience — design and programming for an intuitive platform that generates personalised reports to guide their digital transformation.

The Challenge

Evaluating digital resilience and formulating precise, personalised reports required a sharp understanding of resilience metrics, translated into an accessible interface without losing the technical depth.

The Solution

A dedicated, responsive site, front end and back end, that assesses a client's digital resiliency and generates reports showing where they stand and where to improve — actionable insight for their transformation.

Country-specific reports, infographics and social content that speak local while staying unmistakably Microsoft.

Overview

With IDC, for Microsoft: country-specific reports, infographics and social media posts that carry the visual and communicative nuances of each country while adhering to brand guidelines.

The Challenge

Respecting the distinct cultures of each target country, each with its own aesthetic sensibilities and norms. IDC provided the content; our role was to turn it into culturally adapted design appreciated locally.

The Solution

Research into each country's cultural, visual and communicative norms, carried into designs that stay true to Microsoft's global identity — from “Empowering Field Workers” to “Clouds on Campus”.
