The event was a testament to SAB's journey of transformation and growth, spotlighting its contributions to the nation's development while staying grounded in its core values.

The event narrative was brought to life through a blend of creativity and innovation, engaging the audience in a multi-sensory exploration of the bank's legacy and ongoing impact.

Challenge

Capturing the essence of SAB Alawwal Bank's extensive history and its significance to Saudi Arabia's development, within the constraints of a single event, posed an interesting challenge. The requirement was to encapsulate the bank's ethos, achievements, and future aspirations in a manner that was both engaging and informative, catering to the discerning tastes of 300 VVIP guests. The task demanded a sophisticated blend of storytelling, technical innovation, and cultural sensitivity.

Solution

To meet this challenge, EPC assembled a highly skilled team comprising two producers, six animators, two graphic designers, two editors, a director, a sound engineer, a translation producer, and two client service liaisons. Over 336 hours, the team created an array of creative and interactive assets in both English and Arabic. The event featured:

• A 3D Holo Cube with four animated scenes on a two-minute rotation, offering a fully integrated 3D projection experience.
• Six curved, wide, and sliding screens for a life-size 3D mapping journey through 33 content pieces.
• Six OLED screens, each displaying different creative visuals.
• A fourteen-metre LED screen, enhancing the immersive experience.

This innovative approach enabled guests to interact with the content through various screen types and formats, including a first-of-its-kind pop-up bank museum.

The "Evolving Firsts, Building Inauguration & Networking Event" for SAB Alawwal Bank was a resounding success, delivering a night to truly remember for the 300 VVIP guests.
