Azade, Chania

Case Study

Curated Elegance from the Ground Up: Building a Boutique Brand Digitally

Client Overview: Azade, Chania

Industry: Hospitality / Culinary Experience
Location: Arcadia, Greece

Tucked away in the heart of Chania Old Town, Azade is a boutique hotel that embodies Cretan minimalism, understated luxury, and architectural serenity. But when we began our collaboration, Azade wasn’t open yet—the hotel was still under construction, with no digital assets, no brand identity, and no online presence.

​

Over the past three years, we have led the full digital build of Azade, shaping everything from its visual identity and storytelling to the creation of its website and performance across social platforms. What started as a construction site is now one of Crete’s most distinct boutique hospitality brands.

   •    Content Creation (Photography & Videography)
