Satisfying customer requests: a culture thing

Setting up a stand within a trade fair is not only an opportunity to advertise your products and services, but it is also a means through which the values and history of your brand can shine through. Part of these values, especially in some countries and sectors, is the hometown culture. Just think of some iconic products of the food sector (does mozzarella without the Italian flag have an appeal?), And how many products of daily consumption and use are associated with the country of origin. So why not mix ultra-modern design with elements that are strongly linked to their culture and roots? Read the case study of the Riyadh Airports stand created by Manaly.

Objective

In a sector such as aviation, which was heavily affected by the crisis during the period of total shutdown, due to the covid, it was important for Riyadh Airports to strengthen, establish and create relationships with old and new partners, as well as presenting logistical strategies, services and future improvements to major airlines in the world. Communicating their state-of-the-art services and facilities was of primary importance, without however neglecting the cultural imprinting to which the company is strongly linked.

Solutions

The creative concept of the stand developed by Advisor360, Ryadh's integrated communication agency, was realized by Manaly thanks to a great effort of sharing and exchange of ideas between the subjects involved.Manaly created an exhibition structure divided into two areas: a reception area designed to receive customers and respond to their curiosity, enriched by Arab sofas and upholstery and an in-depth area of the city of Riyadh, developed through a video game that projects the visitor on a virtual visit to the places of greatest interest. The second - the meeting area - a semicircular structure in frosted glass designed for strategic meetings with airline companies and commercial partners.
