An identity.
A way in.

A country brand begins with a promise. It becomes meaningful in the encounters that follow.

Developed proposal, 2026. Century Ventures.

Identity

One name.
Two scripts.

A proposed Arabic and Latin identity gives a shared country story a recognisable voice. The study carries that idea into publishing, public information and digital arrival points.

Arrival

Make the first
encounter count.

From arrival information to a waterfront visit, the proposal connects identity with useful journeys. Benghazi provides an initial setting for a system designed to accommodate distinct places.

Culture

A shared story.
Many places.

A country proposition needs room for the landscapes, communities and everyday life that make each place its own. Cultural programming and an editorial approach give those stories space.

Scope

Country positioning, bilingual identity, visitor journeys, cultural programming, content and measurement.

One identity. Many experiences.

A country proposition has to hold together without making every place the same. This proposal used Benghazi as an initial setting while allowing for the distinct stories, landscapes and communities of Libya.

Connect the promise to the encounter.

The programme brought positioning and Arabic-English identity into the practical moments that shape perception: arriving at an airport, finding a heritage route, discovering a cultural programme and making a useful enquiry.
