The X – Ramadan

Ideative Studio2025

an class="inserted--sup--text inserted--ls--hold false elementor-repeater-item-2d4b6b4" >( Project Goals )an> The X retained Ideative Studio to create a Ramadan campaign that captured the spirit of the holy month while driving foot traffic and brand affinity during Saudi Arabia's highest-stakes consumer season. The scope required art direction, photography, and full video production — all unified under a single campaign concept that would resonate authentically with a Saudi audience.

Ideative developed the campaign concept in-house, grounding it in the cultural weight of Ramadan — the gatherings, the generosity, the atmosphere of Riyadh at night. The production team executed across multiple shoot days, delivering stills and video assets formatted for every platform. Every visual decision was made to amplify the campaign theme with precision rather than cliché.

( Project Scope )

  • Campaign concept development and art direction
  • Full-day photography production: lifestyle, product, and atmospheric stills
  • Short-form video production: hero campaign film and cut-downs for social media
  • Photo and video post-production: color grading, retouching, and motion graphics
  • Packaged deliverables for Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and out-of-home use

( Challenges )

Every project presents its own complexities. Here is what we navigated:

  • ( 001 )
    Ramadan content in Saudi Arabia is intensely competitive — every brand publishes at the same time, making differentiation critical
  • ( 002 )
    The campaign needed to feel genuinely celebratory and culturally resonant rather than commercially forced — a fine balance for a lifestyle venue
  • ( 003 )
    Tight production window between brief sign-off and the start of Ramadan, requiring fast creative decisions without sacrificing quality

(Results )

The Ramadan campaign became one of The X's strongest seasonal performances — creative output that stood apart in a market saturated with Ramadan content.

  • 1.
    Full Ramadan campaign suite delivered on schedule — photography, video content, and social media assets covering the entire holy month
  • 2.
    Campaign visuals stood out clearly in a saturated market, drawing strong engagement across The X's social channels
  • 3.
    Content library produced in this campaign was reused across multiple touchpoints, extending the value of the production investment

Bo&Be Branding

Ideative Studio2025

an class="inserted--sup--text inserted--ls--hold false elementor-repeater-item-2d4b6b4" >( Project Goals )an> Bo&Be came to Ideative Studio at the very beginning — before a logo, before a color palette, before even a confirmed brand name. The engagement covered the full spectrum of brand creation: naming, identity, tone of voice, and all foundational visual assets required to launch a new consumer brand in the Saudi market.

Building a brand from nothing is the most consequential creative work an agency can do. Ideative approached the Bo&Be project with a structured brand-building methodology: audience definition first, followed by naming workshops, concept development, and iterative identity design. Every decision was tested against the brand's target consumer and the competitive landscape it was entering.

( Project Scope )

  • Brand naming: linguistic analysis, trademark assessment, and Arabic/English compatibility review
  • Brand positioning, personality definition, and tone of voice framework
  • Logo design and primary identity mark across all variant configurations
  • Full visual identity system: color palette, typography, pattern language, and iconography
  • Launch asset pack: social media templates, packaging mockups, and brand guidelines

( Challenges )

Every project presents its own complexities. Here is what we navigated:

  • ( 001 )
    Building a brand identity from zero meant defining the brand's character, values, and visual language before a single design element could be created
  • ( 002 )
    The Bo&Be concept required a name and identity that would resonate with a young, trend-conscious Saudi audience while remaining commercially distinct
  • ( 003 )
    Designing a flexible system that could launch on social media immediately and scale into packaging, retail, and digital environments over time

(Results )

Bo&Be launched with a brand identity strong enough to anchor the business from day one — a complete creative platform built for long-term growth.

  • 1.
    Complete brand identity delivered — naming, logo, colour system, typography, tone of voice, and full brand guidelines
  • 2.
    Brand launched with an immediately coherent visual identity across Instagram, packaging, and marketing materials
  • 3.
    Identity system built to scale — Bo&Be has continued to grow using the same brand foundation, with no need for redesign

Audela – Saudi National Day 2023 – Social Media Campaign

Ideative Studio2025

an class="inserted--sup--text inserted--ls--hold false elementor-repeater-item-2d4b6b4" >( Project Goals )an> In 2023, Audela engaged Ideative Studio to conceive and produce their Saudi National Day social media campaign — the brand's first properly produced National Day activation. The brief was to go beyond a single-post acknowledgment and create a multi-asset campaign that positioned Audela as a brand genuinely rooted in Saudi culture. National Day on September 23rd is one of the most emotionally resonant moments on the Saudi calendar, and the campaign needed to honour that weight while serving Audela's broader brand-building goals.

We approached the 2023 campaign as a brand character exercise — what does Audela, as a Saudi brand, have to say about National Day that is authentic to who they are? The creative concept moved away from the expected green-and-white palette flood and developed a narrative that connected Audela's identity to the themes of Saudi ambition and progress that define the current national moment — a direct thread to Vision 2030's spirit without being explicitly institutional.

( Project Scope )

  • Campaign concept and creative strategy developed around Audela's brand narrative and Saudi National Day cultural context
  • Original photography and motion content production with National Day theming integrated into the brand's existing visual language
  • Multi-format asset suite — feed posts, stories, animated content — in Arabic and English
  • Content scheduling and publishing plan covering the National Day campaign window from build-up to post-holiday
  • Campaign performance brief post-launch tracking engagement against brand benchmarks

( Challenges )

This was Audela's first professionally produced National Day campaign — which meant there was no prior creative benchmark to build from and no established visual language for how the brand approaches Saudi cultural occasions. The brief required both strategic thinking and creative invention simultaneously. The 2023 National Day fell at a time when brands across the Kingdom were increasingly expected to do more than post a flag graphic — audiences had grown discerning about the quality and authenticity of National Day content, and could quickly identify campaigns that were cynical or low-effort. Coordinating a complete campaign — concept, production, editing, and staged publication — around an immovable national calendar date required precise project management with no room for timeline slippage.

  • ( 001 )
    Building a National Day campaign that felt authentically Saudi without becoming a generic patriotic template — a trap most brands fall into when every competitor publishes similar content simultaneously
  • ( 002 )
    Creating enough campaign assets to sustain a multi-day publishing schedule without the content becoming repetitive or diluted across the National Day week
  • ( 003 )
    Establishing this as a properly branded campaign in 2023 that would set a quality standard and framework Audela could build on in subsequent years

(Results )

Audela's 2023 National Day campaign marked a genuine step change in how the brand participates in Saudi cultural moments — establishing a tone, creative approach, and visual language that felt authentic to both the brand and the occasion. The multi-asset campaign delivered content across the full National Day window — from pre-event anticipation to day-of publishing — sustaining audience engagement throughout rather than relying on a single post to carry the moment. Critically, the 2023 campaign became the creative foundation for 2024 — the brand now has an established National Day identity that can be evolved year on year, transforming what was a one-off activation into a recurring brand equities-building moment.

  • 1.
    Campaign delivered as a cohesive multi-asset production across the National Day period, marking Audela's first properly branded seasonal activation
  • 2.
    Engagement performance across the National Day window exceeded the brand's standard social media benchmarks, with strong performance on story views and saves
  • 3.
    The bilingual creative approach ensured broad reach across Saudi Arabia's linguistically diverse social media audience
  • 4.
    The 2023 campaign established a replicable framework for National Day content that directly informed the 2024 campaign strategy and brief
