Brand House · Gulf

Brands with a character people remember.

Simah builds brands for Gulf companies and family groups: the strategy behind them, the identity people see, and the way they show up in every document, space and event. After launch, we stay on as custodians of the brand so it keeps working as the business grows.

سِمة

Simah is the Arabic word for a defining trait, the mark that makes something recognisable. It is what we build for every client.

What we do

Six practices, one brand

We build living brands: identities and systems designed to keep working in every touchpoint, not only on launch day. We focus on the brand itself. Campaigns, social media and paid media are handled by our marketing partners, so our work stays on building the asset that every campaign depends on.
