Loyalty programmes. They’re everywhere and we love them!
You get rewarded for drinking your favorite coffee, for flying with your favourite airline, for doing that Barry’s class, for feasting at your favorite restaurant! And that sense of belonging has become as important as the value you’re getting – especially for the current generation.

And Alfa.Co is no stranger to that. They are fast-growing operators of casual, fast casual and healthy dining restaurants in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The client’s objective was to rebrand their loyalty programme to become the leading F&B integrated multi-brand loyalty programme (with a mobile-first approach!)

We had a real opportunity to create a unique positioning encompassing several functional and emotional benefits. To create a brand that is truly loved, one that you would brag about.

Steak on you, Pizza on us!

It was all about exploration. About discovery. After all, the loyalty programme includes so many restaurants to choose from!

With the explorer brand archetype and a defined positioning of the customer is at the heart of everything we do, we then proceeded to name the programme.

What resonated for us? Sufra.
As referred to in the region, a generous table full of food.

The challenge? Make Sufra rewards connect with the youth of KSA.

Our goal was to bring this programme to life through a lighthearted, vibrant identity; to appeal to the foodies, the families but also the young & active gen Z.

How? With ‘YOU at the heart of everything we do” as the soul of the brand, we developed a unique logo and icon that draws directly from the name; along with a bright and vivid color palette.

The result? A Bold, inclusive, stylish cool brand that speaks the language of its audience, and has already recruited several loyalists since it launched!

Discover a world of taste.

We worked across different touchpoints and brought Sufra Rewards to life. We also created unique tier names for the loyalty programme.

Now let the fun begin and the tastebuds dance!

Hungry for something extraordinary?

Aside from the fact that our team is full of foodies, we also pack years of extensive experience in F&B branding.

So whether you want to launch the next Cronut trend, or are looking for a refresh of that burger joint, contact us and let the journey begin.

Research, strategy and naming:

Welcome to a completely new learning experience, where we inspire curious hearts and creative minds.

Numu is designed with love to reimagine early childhood education. At the intersection of technology and tradition, it’s a nursery focused on ensuring that each day for your child is the best one ever ever :)!

During our workshops, and through comprehensive research into the audience needs, market gaps and global benchmarks, we realized that parents are really looking for a safe, joyful, stimulating environment that helps them raise well-rounded children. Our strategic direction focused on the idea of raising the future, while making the present magically memorable.

Name creation is always fun and challenging but in this case, we all gravitated quite quickly towards Numu as it comes from the Arabic word for grow, tying in beautifully with the essence of the brand.

Little Wonders Meet Days Full Of Wonder

Brand expression:

As always, a solid strategy really helps drive the visual exploration of how to bring the brand to life. We knew we wanted to create something that is whimsical, playful but sophisticated, clean and minimal. What we didn’t know was how our creative team would take that brief and just completely blow us away with their interpretation of it!

From a logo that alludes to growth to the cutest looking characters that represent the different sides of children to a palette that is both colourful but also appealing to the sensibilities of the modern millennial parents who shy away from anything garish, it’ s an identity that’s incredibly easy to fall in love with. What inspired our aesthetics? The classic pragmatic, the funky biker, the colorful happy souls.

As always, the brand identity phase was followed by the creation of various touchpoints that really immerse you in the actual brand experience and truly showcase the difference. Each application was thoughtfully crafted to appeal to parents who want to ensure their children are in a safe space that fosters a love of learning.

Extraordinary Beginnings Lead To Extraordinary Lives

And extraordinary partnerships lead to extraordinary brands.

In fashion, it’s all about the next big drop. The latest Adidas x Moncler collab, the Jacquemus Chiquito, the Loewe Cloudtilt- you name it! And don’t we all live for that? So when our client came with their prototype of sunnies, our jaws dropped. This IS the next big drop. We know it.

We needed to create a brand that breaks free from the constraints of daily life, one that pushes self-discovery and freedom; yet is a lasting timeless slice of luxury. Something for the seen and be seen, for the gifters, for the quiet fashion gurus… something that would enable everyone to celebrate their uniqueness, one way or another.

Handcrafted somewhere in France, Champagnole.

Welcome to the world of Clément Lombelle. A world where elegance meets luxury, where craftsmanship exudes uniqueness. Yellow’s mandate: to create a brand that makes a statement; one that embodies the artistry and edginess.

We developed the strategy, claiming a unique positioning for Clément Lombelle. One that is a reflection of our target audience’s state of mind.
What inspired our aesthetics? The classic pragmatic, the funky biker, the colorful happy souls.

The whole journey with Clément Lombelle from strategic foundation to visual identity development was one embracing imagination, individuality, sophistication and artistic expression.

The outcome? The next big drop! And we can’t wait to get our hands on a pair!

Step into the world of Days Off, where comfort is not just a feature, it’s a promise. UAE-born and grown brand with show-stopping vibrant colors, comfortable garments and sleek cuts- this is what the brand is about.

Our mandate? Revitalise the brand and make it top of mind for comfortable wear. Take it out of home and into gyms, beaches, for running supermarket errands, coffee dates…adapt it to the culture and resonate with all types of women, for all types of occasions.

A cocoon of tranquility for the modern woman who seeks solace in every moment.

Days Off embodies the every woman. A relatable and wholesome woman that feels connected to her community. One that is authentic, friendly, realistic, unpretentious and welcoming.

With a clearly defined personality and brand essence, we developed Days Off’s identity; one that appeals to comfort and elegance seekers, homegrown heroes and supporters, the REAL people.

Welcome aboard! You’re in for quite the experience.

We’ve partnered with some of the most successful homegrown heroes from unapologetic jewelry brands to the juiciest burger joints; and we know exactly how to make you relevant, how to get you loved (and talked about)- did we mention by the whole world and not just the local community?!

We worked across different touchpoints, from the image style to packaging, all the way to social media look & feel. The intent was to showcase an unusual yet effortless form of grandeur, one that is home to some of the finest brands around the world.

A place of discovery

DTC has disrupted jewelry.

It’s no longer something you wait for your significant other to hopefully buy once a year for your birthday ????! Now, it’s all about self-expression and self-gifting – from me to ME! We love the new generation’s aversion to “diamonds are forever” and should cost 3x your salary in favor of street-wear styles, stacking and independent, colorful brands.

So when our client came to us with the idea of an outlet that stocked the most coveted DTC and eclectic brands from around the world, we were on board and in love!

We wanted to create a brand that flirts with the edges. A brand so boho and whimsical that it screams unexpected, sublime. A brand that is simply…it!

A destination, a mood, a moment!

The it place, the discovery, that avant-garde destination where you will always find something new to fall in [or express] love with.

A brand that celebrates art, self-expression and discovering the IT girl in you.

With the strategy in place, we developed the unapologetic brand identity. One that illustrates the destination. A destination for those who are champions of self-expression, curators and narrators of their own story.

Seeking the unexpected?

You’ve come to the right place!

We’ve partnered with some of the most successful brands across the region – from the finest jewelry to the coolest restaurants and avant-garde tech platforms!

Not sure how to stand out within your landscape? Yellow does!

You and us? We can make magic happen!

TikTok over Tick Tock

OvaSave is the first fem-tech startup of its kind in the region, with a focus on fertility and women’s health. A tech platform that provides women with access to fertility and egg freezing services across a vetted network that will grow to more than 50 partner clinics in 10 countries and 20 cities.

We created a brand strategy that encourages women to fight against the tyranny of the dreaded biological clock that has ruled their lives and open their minds to options.

Freeze your eggs, not your ambitions.

We spoke to multiple women to understand the concerns, barriers and customer journey and benchmarked against some global brands that are in a similar space. The led to the creation of a brand platform centered around the idea of being there for a new generation of women, helping them pursue their amibitions and put themselves first.

We loved creating the tone of voice and messaging for this brand, which is rebellious, powerful, encouraging, unconventional and energetic.

Productive now. Reproductive later.

With the brand centered around the idea of putting women in charge of their biological clock, the logo depicts this by subtly incorporating an on / off switch withing the O.

We developed a rich visual language made up graphical devices and illustrations to support an image style that shows women living their life to the fullest, pursuing their personal and professional goals. A full set of original icons were also created for use throughout the website and app, along with packaging for the testing kits, social media look and feel and design of various collateral.

Ready to create now?

We’ve been working on some incredible tech platforms and DTC brands. If you have seen a gap in the market, a pain point that you have a great solution for and have been wondering whether to take the leap or not, we say go for it! If it’s a REALLY great idea aligned with our values, we also consider partnering for equity.

Meet Rita & Ibrahim, an incredibly talented couple that left their established careers to pursue their dreams of creating a bold new fine jewelry brand. Rebellion was a major theme throughout everything – from the playful, unexpectedness of the pieces created to it being a purely DTC brand to the personality of the founders. This segued into the essence of the brand being centered on the idea of “The Art of Rebellion” – a narrative that was all about celebrating self-expression, confidence, colour, creativity, boldness and femininity.

Why Maveroc

Naming is always one of the most challenging aspects of creating a brand. It’s incredibly personal, subjective and often all the great ideas you come up with are taken. We explored many themes and ideas, focusing predominantly on evocative and associative names – names that communicated the brand idea without being too descriptive (our favourite kind of names)! And thus Maveroc was born.

An affordable furnishing brand that started out as a single store 29 years back in Sharjah, Pan Emirates is now one of the fastest growing furniture stores in the region.

The key challenge was to pivot from a mass brand to one that’s in the affordable, accessible luxury arena and appeals to a younger, savvier audience segment, thus expanding their market share.

We conducted multiple in-store, telephone, in-person interviews as well as online (Instagram) and email surveys to understand the brand perception and market. In addition, we looked at reviews on Google, Trust Pilot and Glassdoor and went down Reddit rabbit holes.

Your home. Your style. On your budget.

This led to the development of target audience profiles, identifying primary customers, a messaging style that would resonate with them and of course, the brand platform & story.

HOME COMES FIRST

There’s one place in the world where you feel completely safe. Where you’re free to be yourself and surrounded by lovingly selected elements reflecting your tastes, memories, travels and stories. It’s where you get to invite the world a peek into who you are. It’s your sanctuary. It’s your canvas for self-expression. It’s where there’s finally balance and the noise, the deadlines, the overwhelm just fade away as you walk through the door into the arms of your family or sink into the comfort of your couch.

It’s where you come first. it’s where your family comes first. It’s because at Pan Emirates, we know that Home Comes First.

What’s in a name? A lot, actually.

A name change sends an important signal, which was much needed in this case. We wanted to retain “Pan” because of the brand equity but replace Emirates as the brand had expanded geographically far beyond the UAE. Many iterations were considered but we landed on one that tied best with the essence of Home Comes First and encompassed their offering: Pan Home.

Design your happy.

With a new direction, strategy and name in place, a beautiful, contemporary and much more minimal identity was created. Benchmarked against global DTC furniture brands, the new image style is much cleaner, allowing the products to really shine. The modern colours and typefaces deliver on the repositioning of Pan Home as a brand for a younger audience that is embarking on a new phase in their life (newly weds, a nursery for their newborn, first home).

We also worked with Pan to revamp their website, social media presence as well as advertising campaigns.

Time for your home run

Legacy and heritage brands are facing a bit of a struggle now that the purchasing power has shifted to a new generation with entirely different tastes, behaviours and even language. If you’re figuring out this new landscape and need some help, we are the right partners – our team is made up of Dubaiians who’ve been born & brought up here, to those who have been working in the region for 25 years. Our insights into the local customer behaviour and preferences is second to none, while our ability to design according to the most contemporary global standards is self-evident.

We worked with the team at GOAT to deliver a positioning, name, full brand identity and key applications for this restaurant n Dubai Design District.

A catchy name, striking color and bold identity complement a venue that has taken the Dubai burger scene by storm.

We worked with Barakat positioning them for the future – a contemporary wellness and lifestyle brand, taking into account their visual identity, as well as all key brand touchpoints – packaging for the entire Barakat range of products, social media, vehicle livery and digital presence.

In addition to looking after the Roshan brand, we have rolled out a number of retail stores for the business, produced TV and radio adverts for them, and directed their brand and retail image portfolio.
