Kids today are the least active kids in history, as they spend, on average, less than an hour a day playing outside and getting dirty. All the free time they have (besides food, sleep, studying and bathroom breaks) is most likely spent with electronics, which are preferred by parents in the Middle East; they believe, based on cultural norms, that keeping their children clean is associated with better parenting. That’s not always so good for a washing powder brand like OMO, whose philosophy is “Dirt is Good”. OMO is a brand that promotes an active lifestyle, because playing and getting dirty is crucial for kids’ learning and healthy development. OMO believes that every time kids come back with stains, they’re coming back with experience too. Our goal was to shed light on the reality of kids’ lives today. To provoke parents and get them to get their kids off couches and beds, we showed them the reality of their kids’ lives in an unconventional way. To wake parents up to the fact that kids today are ‘the least active kids ever’ and spend on average 23 hours a day inactive, we created the longest live stream in Facebook’s history; a 23-hour video showing a kid doing absolutely nothing, apart from sleeping, playing video games, checking in on social, watching Netflix and hover-boarding his way to and from the kitchen. The videos were long and boring for good reason, as they were a live, visual representation of kids’ lives today. Their one purpose was to depict exactly what kids spend their day doing. No exaggeration, just a literal translation based on global research. Film advertisement created by FP7, United Arab Emirates for OMO, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.

Desert off-road driving in the Middle East is practically a sport. For years car brands have been using horsepower to measure its desert capabilities, but on mighty dunes, having high horsepower is not enough. The GTR is the perfect example of a car that has high horsepower and zero desert capabilities. Nissan United Middle East has partnered with National Geographic to present 'Camelpower,' a concept that has been in the work for more than a year and a half now, a new measurement unit for desert performance. And just like horsepower was based on a horse, this new unit is based on a true desert beast and icon of the middle east region, The Camel. The concept was developed by Nissan Engineers and it now has full support of the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) who plans to take this unit to a global ISO accreditation and get all car brands to apply it to their SUV desert models.

The Challenge: Standard Chartered Bank wanted to promote their credit card benefits during the month of Ramadan. The Opportunity: Rather than feeding people the same old clichés, we cut through the clutter of Ramadan advertising by tapping into the social aspect of the season. We chose to engage – not advertise. The Idea: My Majlis is the world’s first game that brings the ‘Majlis’ or Ramadan tent experience to life. The game mirrors the real world ‘Majlis’ experience, bringing family and friends together virtually to relax and socialize. Fans create their own ‘Majlis’ or tent, purchase furniture, decorate and invite guests to visit, all using Standard Chartered credit cards. The most popular ‘Majlis’ rated by guests wins ‘Majlis’ experiences in real life. The Results: In just 4 weeks, more than 15,277 fans played My Majlis, on average spending over 7 minutes per visit playing the game. The most popular ‘Majlis’ (with an impressive 2,006 guests) took home the big Eid getaway weekend prize! Not only did consumers share a social experience that was relevant to them, they also learned about the benefits of Standard Chartered cards through gameplay. In just a few weeks, Standard Chartered went from being just another bank to becoming the most socially engaged bank in the United Arab Emirates, with clear product benefits.
