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
- 01
Print with a next step
QR-code brochures and cubes turned every printed piece into a path to digital and social channels.
- 02
Screens and signage
Billboards and digital signage across the community, with corporate video for investors and tenants.
- 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.
