Imagine an upscale Italian restaurant chain, steeped in tradition, yearning for a digital refresh. That’s where Piatto, a leading name in the KSA culinary scene, found itself. They approached SPARK seeking to bridge the gap between their established brand persona and the ever-evolving digital landscape.
