Challenge

01

The Problem

MOMRA faced a critical adoption challenge: traditional municipal reporting methods were slow, cumbersome, and lacked user incentives. Citizens lacked motivation to report issues like infrastructure damage and code violations. The Ministry needed a digital-first solution that would drive massive engagement while simplifying the reporting process for millions of Saudi citizens across all regions.

Solution & Approach

02

Strategic Execution

We deployed a comprehensive, multi-platform digital campaign centered on gamification and visual clarity. The Balady App was positioned as a rewarding civic platform, not just a reporting tool.

Key Campaign Elements:

  • "Snap and Send" initiative: One-tap photo reporting that transformed the user experience from tedious to instant
  • "Certified Observer Program": Gamified reward system incentivizing repeat participation
  • Motion graphics & UX tutorials: High-quality instructional assets simplifying complex processes
  • Bilingual execution: Arabic and English assets optimized for mobile readability

The visual identity bridged governmental authority with modern tech aesthetics—clean, bright color palettes conveyed transparency while isometric 3D elements and character animations made the experience engaging rather than bureaucratic.

Clean, bright color palettes evoked transparency and progress, while smooth motion graphics and isometric 3D elements simplified complex municipal processes.
