The creative idea behind the Konoz marketing campaigns was to showcase the beauty and importance of Konoz's captivating documentaries, Horizon, From This Land, and Chapter 295. Inspired by the true treasures of the kingdom, the creative direction involved incorporating the diverse species captured in Horizon, the natural heritage depicted in From This Land, and the socio-economic achievements discussed in Chapter 295 for each project respectively. The art direction emphasized a harmonious blend of creativity and professionalism to adequately represent Konoz's efforts.

Each film presented a visually compelling and aesthetically pleasing journey, with creative designs capturing the essence of Saudi Arabia's natural wonders and cultural significance. The art direction aimed to visually represent the documentaries' themes while maintaining a cohesive and engaging visual identity, fostering a strong connection between the content and the audience.

The strategy for the Konoz project was meticulously crafted to engage a broad target audience, spanning ages 16 to 60, with interests in films, documentaries, Saudi culture, history, family-oriented content, and social media. To ensure a comprehensive reach, the integration of marketing efforts involved creating tailored interactive plans for governmental entities, employing strategies to boost views on streaming platforms like Netflix, STC TV and Shahid, and utilizing teasers to generate positive anticipation. The approach incorporated creative designs, engaging infographics, and a detailed marketing plan for each film, fostering an immersive and interactive experience across diverse platforms. This integrated strategy aimed to maximize visibility, interactions, and overall impact, effectively conveying Konoz's message to a wide and diverse audience.

The execution of the Konoz project was a well-coordinated and detailed process. Implementation involved creating a creative template for each film, ensuring a high level of professionalism and creativity in the marketing plans. The timeline spanned from February to March 2023. Placement strategies included targeted interactive plans for governmental entities, campaigns to increase views on platforms like Netflix, STC TV and Shahid, and teasers generating positive anticipation. The scale of execution was large, reaching a wide sample of the audience in two major cities in Saudi Arabia. The placement strategies were designed to position Konoz films as worthy competitors in the market, appealing to those interested in Saudi history and cultural content.
