Communication is key

From brand building to out-of-the-box market infiltration, CXS takes a product from positioning to the point of sale. Strategy, identity, performance and an in-house production studio — AI accelerates the work, human taste finishes it.

As the marketing arm of an operating holding company, we don't theorise about consumers — we watch them on the door of a nightlife venue and in the unit economics of a cloud kitchen every week. That operator's instinct shapes every engagement.

"Celebrating the everyday chef"

Our biggest mega-influencer project to date — a mixed-methods awareness campaign of content, images and reels built for maximum interaction and conversion.

Egyptian Rugby Federation

"Same pride, uplifted"

From ideation to the final mark, we created the logo for the national Egyptian rugby team — visually representing the Egyptian identity through a mascot. We chose Anubis to symbolise strength, stamina and speed, combining his portrait with the colours of the flag and the shape of a rugby ball for an intimidating, unmistakably Egyptian crest.
