Challenge
Sum+Things brings together a concept store offering home accessories, a chocolate boutique, a restaurant, a lounge, and a library. Together, they inspire visitors with an array of timeless items curated from across the globe that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Sum+Things came to Blue Hat wanting to rethink its communication strategy to reflect its new concept experience while still adhering to the brand guidelines. It wanted to showcase all the unique corners equally by capitalizing on each one’s unique selling points, thus helping to boost (overall) sales.
Our aim was to promote Sum+Things as a leading luxury concept store in Riyadh that incorporates carefully selected home accessories, succulent culinary experiences, an eclectic library, and an events space.
