Current political tensions have led to Arabs and Muslims being mistreated at airports in the USA and Europe because of their passports. Behind this, there is a strong misconception that all arabs and muslims are terrorists and that Islam is a religion that preaches hate. So together with Amnesty International New York, we have come up with an idea that will turn these passports into messages of tolerance and peace. The Skins of Peace is a collection of passport covers that showcase messages inspired by the holy book of Islam, The Quran. Adapted into a language all airport officials will understand: English.

Created by HearLife Clinic and FP7/McCann in Dubai, “Lost Frequency” is a series of self-diagnosing radio adverts for hearing loss. With 500,000 people affected with hearing loss in the UAE, the challenge for HearLife was to get the 35% of sufferers unaware they have a problem, to take a hearing test. The early symptoms of hearing loss are difficulties hearing high frequency and low sounds, often only discovered in an audiology exam. In the examination, ranges of sounds tested patients hearing: those unable to hear above 4kHz+ are diagnosed with hearing loss. To make the test something everyone would want to listen to, the team took the science of a hearing test and disguised it as wildlife documentary. Because birds, crickets and dolphins all naturally sing in the 4kHz+, they could use these animals to help self-diagnose hearing loss. In a series of 3 radios, take a quick dive with dolphins, listen to the birds, and join thousands of crickets on a summer’s night. For the first time, those who didn’t know they had a problem were self-diagnosed and offered a solution.

We live in a world where social media has become an integral means of communication. These channels have opened the doors to reunite with old friends and share our updates and happy moments with them. Today, people have taken social media usage to a new level, where they tend to overshare their personal information and details of their daily routine – not realizing how much information is too much. For example, they’ve got a vacation coming up, a new car, a new born child and other moments they’d like to share with everyone - everyone including people they don’t know very well. The problem is, we really don’t know who is monitoring our lives on social media and who might take advantage of the collected information that could harm us. Most of the social media users in the UAE rarely think about the risks involved when sharing sensitive personal details online. Recent statistics reveal that 2 in 5 people in the UAE are victims of cybercrimes.

CHALLENGE: Dubai Properties needed to raise awareness of their flagship property 1JBR and cement their status as a developer of luxury properties in Dubai. In a market where EMAAR and DAMAC dominate, Dubai Properties needed to cut through the normal dry, bland real estate advertisements and make a noise that couldn’t be ignored. It’s important to note that this ad was not about driving sales but driving awareness of the building and positioning Dubai Properties as a high-end developer. INSIGHT: The truly affluent don’t like flashy displays of wealth, they prefer quiet understatement. Of course, this outlook on life goes against everything that Dubai stands for and is known for. SOLUTION: To position 1JBR as a haven from the flash, gaudy, ostentatious world that most people in Dubai love. Because 1JBR is none of these things, it won’t appeal to the wanna-be try-hards who believe that gold taps and diamond chandeliers are the only way to prove wealth and status. So the strategy became less about focusing on mass attraction, and more about focusing on a slightly subversive selection strategy. Because 1JBR really isn’t for everyone.
