01 . The Challenge

In the heart of Dubai’s Business Bay — where skyline views meet high standards — Banc opened its doors as a new player in the city’s dining and lounge scene. Offering a modern blend of casual fine dining, elevated drinks, and premium shisha, Banc was built for the city’s cosmopolitan crowd — a space where work meets unwind, and where aesthetic meets experience.

To bring this bold new concept to life digitally, Banc partnered with Sammas, a creative digital marketing agency known for turning launches into viral brand moments. From the early teaser phase through to full-blown launch hype, Sammas led the visual and strategic charge, capturing Banc’s energy, elegance, and experience in every frame.

02 . The Solution

Sammas approached Banc’s digital journey with precision, creativity, and cultural fluency — knowing that Dubai’s audiences crave both visual polish and authentic experience.


1. Visuals That Hit Hard: Food, Shisha & Drink Content that Captivates

From golden hour lighting to midnight vibes, Sammas crafted a cinematic content suite that showed Banc’s offerings in their best light.

  • Hero food shots: Up-close, rich-textured visuals of flame-grilled mains, vibrant appetizers, and intricately plated dishes designed to spark cravings.

  • Signature drink visuals: From smoky pours to gold leaf garnishes, every cocktail was filmed like a moment — luxurious, moody, and irresistibly shareable.

  • Shisha storytelling: Sammas made shisha a digital star — slow-motion smoke trails, ambient lighting, and curated lounge shots showing Banc as the spot to unwind in style.

  • High-tempo TikToks and Reels: Dynamic transitions, trending sounds, and clean edits made every post feel native, fresh, and algorithm-friendly.


2. Building the Hype: The Digital Launch Strategy

Sammas engineered Banc’s launch to feel like an event, not just an opening. From teaser content to influencer buzz, everything was timed and designed for virality.

  • Countdown teasers with moody ambiance and flashes of food and decor to build intrigue pre-launch

  • Launch day content drop: Full cinematic reveal of the venue, food, cocktails, and shisha in a sequence of high-impact Reels and carousel posts

  • Influencer & VIP preview night: Leveraged key local creators to generate buzz, reach lifestyle audiences, and flood social media with organic UGC

  • Story takeovers and behind-the-scenes edits to show the vibe in real-time

The result? Banc went from “Who’s that?” to “Have you been yet?” in a matter of days.


3. Brand Aesthetic: Curated to Perfection

Sammas didn’t just post — they curated. The Instagram grid and TikTok feed became digital extensions of the Banc experience.

  • Colour grading that matched the interior mood — deep blacks, warm golds, glowing blues

  • Minimal, bold captioning that leaned into the luxury, with lines like “Smoke, sip, savour — the Banc way.”

  • Grid planning that balanced food, drink, shisha, and vibe content in a sleek, rhythmic flow

  • Story Highlights for menus, vibes, location, and events, all with custom-designed icons and brand styling

 

03 . The Results

The Sammas launch strategy delivered instant impact — both in metrics and real-world momentum:

  • Over 1 million+ impressions on Instagram within the first weeks of launch

  • Millions of combined views across Instagram and TikTok through viral Reels and influencer collabs

  • Thousands of followers gained in the launch period alone

  • High story engagement with consistent DMs and booking inquiries driven directly from content

  • Strong word-of-mouth buzz in Dubai’s dining and nightlife scene, solidifying Banc as a rising hotspot
