Babyshop, a children’s retailer, sends a message of unity from the Middle East to the Middle East and to the world, through a surprising perspective, starting with the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a time of the year when Muslims around the world fast during the day, every day, for an entire month. People wake up, pre-dawn, to eat the morning meal. And they abstain from all food and liquids until dusk. Ramadan serves as a reminder about empathy, tolerance, humanity, unity and togetherness; values that are often forgotten in today’s world beset with prejudice, divisions and walls – both physical as well as emotional. So, this Ramadan, Babyshop, a children’s retailer in the Middle East is inviting people across the Middle East and the world to reconsider accepted thinking and behaviour. In an uncertain time, when the world around us remains divided between “us” vs. “them”, when we’re all building walls between countries, families, neighbours, economic and social statuses and each other, Babyshop is sharing a message of unity during the month of togetherness - but, with a ‘little’ difference; encouraging us to open up our hearts, doors and minds to others by embracing its philosophy of “World Without Walls”. A film on YouTube and Facebook is launching the idea. It follows the journey of a child making his way through an actual world without walls – from his room to his parents’ room to a luxurious Middle East home to a refugee tent to a South Asian home (where a dad is spotted making some morning sandwiches) to an old people’s nursing home and finally, to an orphanage, and beyond. Through the film, Babyshop is encouraging people across the region to share the message of a #WorldWithoutWalls. The brand is also implementing in-store activities, on-ground initiatives, social content as well as a co-creative social media activation to bring #WorldWithoutWalls to people around the region, and around the world too.

Download the free Tummyfish app: https://goo.gl/mJFkbt Kids love sugary drinks, but think water is boring. As a result, 1 in 4 kids suffer from health issues as they're often dehydrated. So in order to help kids live happier and healthier lives we created Tummyfish, a cute little friend that lives in children's tummies, which they need to care for by drinking plenty of water every day. We produced a colourful storybook telling the tale of the first Tummyfish and how she fled scary seas, seeking refuge in a little boy's tummy after being accidentally drunk in a glass of water. The book supported an app which allowed parents to introduce kids to their very own Tummyfish with a simple camera trick. Kids who improved their drinking habits were rewarded with unlockable toys and mini-games for their Tummyfish, while parents were able to encourage their kids' progress and monitor positive behaviour change with daily reminders and statistics.

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.

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.
