The challenge

A free zone, real estate developer and high-tech community needed to reach investors, tenants and residents who still met it mostly in print and on the road.

What we did

  1. 01

    Print with a next step

    QR-code brochures and cubes turned every printed piece into a path to digital and social channels.

  2. 02

    Screens and signage

    Billboards and digital signage across the community, with corporate video for investors and tenants.

  3. 03

    A front door for every initiative

    Dedicated microsites, including Dtec and Silicon Oasis Founders, promoted new programmes and events.

The outcome

A digital presence that matched the ambition of a smart city, and the foundation for everything I've built since.
