Riyadh School Hittin needed to establish enrollment awareness for a new flagship campus while simultaneously building institutional brand identity in a competitive educational market. The challenge required communicating institutional values—academic excellence, cultural identity, leadership development, and holistic education—to diverse audiences (students, parents, educators).
The foundation for all campaign work was a comprehensive brand strategy defining institutional positioning, visual identity system, and messaging hierarchy. This ensured consistency across all platforms while maintaining cultural authenticity.
Defined core institutional values, mission positioning, and brand personality traits guiding all creative executions and messaging across platforms.
Color palette, typography, imagery guidelines, and design patterns ensuring unified brand appearance across all digital and print touchpoints.
Six-pillar narrative structure guiding copywriting across platforms, ensuring consistent voice and key message delivery to all stakeholder audiences.
Customized content approach for X (Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok with format-specific design and messaging optimization per platform.
The narrative + messaging framework organized institutional messaging into six interconnected pillars, each addressing distinct student/parent concerns while reinforcing unified brand positioning.
| Pillar | Core Message | Target Audience | Platform Application |
|---|---|---|---|

The content system delivered platform-specific visual/caption pairs across X, Instagram, and TikTok. Each piece aligned to messaging pillars while optimizing for platform conventions (Twitter character limits, Instagram aesthetic, TikTok vertical video format).
