    uniE621 Wiz Logo
    WizShops.com is an ecommerce technology provider, facilitating offline businesses to migrate their businesses online. As WizShops is a completely new player in the market, entourage was tasked with creating all branding elements and collateral, social & digital media marketing and PR for the brand. The idea was to create a fresh, captivating brand that will resonate with the audiences. We created the brand logy, guidelines, adaptations, app and website design and development and content creation, social media organic and advertising creatives and content and long format, short format and video format English and Arabic content. We used social media and digital media to amplify the brand presence in the UAE, Egypt and KSA. PR was used to build credibility of the brand targeted to investors, entrepreneurs, technology start-ups, and businesses that wanted to migrate online. #logo #branding #graphicdesigner #designer #illustrator

    uniE621 Egypt Tourism
    Challenge: Due to the political unrest in the country in 2011, Egypt’s tourism was negatively impacted, leading the country to lose out on millions in tourism & hospitality revenue. Solution: Rebuild the Egypt Tourism brand and bring back the Arab tourists to Egypt. We launched an integrated marketing campaign with the theme of ‘Misr Wahastoona’ (Egypt Misses You!). We produced a full advertising campaign including an award-winning TVC capturing the essence of Egypt. The campaign was boosted by strategic media planning and buying in 9 Arab countries. Post the success of the first campaign, we launched another campaign in 2015 – ‘Mis Orayba’ (Egypt is close). Within the span of two years of the campaigns, the tourism numbers in Egypt surged, bringing back the revenues and more importantly, the tourists to the country. SCOPE: concept creation & creative development | TVC production | media planning & buying | content sponsorships | public relations | social & digital media planning and implementation | on-ground activation | event planning & management #photo #graphicdesigner #designer #videoEditor
