About

A studio built on creative direction and cultural instinct.

HAUS 808 is the studio Serto and Esra Sam run together, alongside their own individual practice. We produce sport and lifestyle campaigns, from sportswear and streetwear to hospitality and retail, working at the intersection of fashion, photography and brand strategy for luxury houses, global magazines, and culture-driven brands across the Gulf and Middle East.

Serto

01

Serto

Co-Founder & Creative Director

LinkedIn ↗

Serto founded ndo.club, one of the biggest run clubs in Germany, then built HAUS 808 on the same instinct: gather the right people, move fast, and let the work speak. He sits at the intersection of street culture, sport, and brand strategy. He writes the concepts, pitches the ideas, pulls in the right people, and stays on every project until it ships.

He's also a certified Hyrox coach and competitive Hyrox PRO athlete. He doesn't market sport culture from behind a desk. He trains it, competes in it, lives it.

His work spans creator activations, campaign productions, and brand partnerships. He has produced campaigns for Snipes, Brooks, Saucony, New Balance, Puma and Amazon, and runs an athlete partnership with Nike through his own run community.

Based in Dubai. Built for brands that want to move culture, not just market to it.
