The free zone in Sharjah to set up and grow your
business: SAIF Zone
SAIF Zone is a free zone in Sharjah and was looking to find a solution to attract more companies to establish themselves in their jurisdiction. Skyne was requested to help position SAIF Zone better. Working together, we developed a brand strategy and new brand identity that differentiates SAIF Zone from its competitors and turned SAIF Zone into a more attractive location to incorporate. Besides this, new initiatives like Women in Business and Business Connect were launched to serve the target audience better.
FROM INSIGHTS TO STRATEGY
Branding a destination to
start your business
Although SAIF Zone is a well established free zone in the UAE, a crowded market place with many competitors with similar offerings, Skyne recognized opportunities to turn it into a more attractive location to establish companies. Skyne developed a powerful brand strategy, positioning and clear principle ‘where businesses connect & grow’ which guides all designs, behaviors and decisions when creating the brand experience. The guiding principle is based on the target audience’s behavior and identified opportunities to stand out as a free zone.
FROM STRATEGY TO DESIGN
Translating ‘where businesses connect
& grow’ into a brand identity
After establishing the unique characteristics and reasons for SAIF Zone to be the preferred free zone to set up a company, we created a visual style that communicates these qualities. What sets SAIF Zone apart is translated in every design we created. The brand identity including all collaterals and guidelines was further implemented in communication tools such as their stationery, signage and way-finding, sub-brands, collaterals, brand guidelines and of course the website.
FROM STRATEGY TO DESIGN

The brand identity including all collaterals and guidelines was further implemented in communication tools such as their stationery, signage and way-finding, sub-brands, collaterals, brand guidelines and of course the website.
