Challenge

Black Tap, renowned for its Instagram-worthy burgers and shakes in NYC, has expanded to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Inspired by NYC's urban art, graffiti, and typography, it boasts a visually dynamic identity that enhances the dining experience. They approached Blue Hat to create a digital presence that maintains the edginess of the original brand while accommodating the locality of Saudi Arabia.

Intervention

Our team started by creating a Digital Communication Toolkit that defines the target audience and target personas. Following that, we worked on creating a unique tone of voice for them that would help them stand out in their industry. The main aim was to create an engaging, friendly, and approachable tone of voice, while also reflecting the quality of their products and the uniqueness of the brand experience of Black Tap. We curated a workshop with the client to decide on the different communication themes for the social media platforms.

The entirety of our marketing and social media efforts were to raise awareness of the brand and increase engagement, while still adhering to pop culture references and nuances that local audiences would appreciate. Aside from the strategic aspect of the projects, we created cool reels that capture the vibes, highlight menu items, and ultimately brand experience.
