VIEW THE CONCEPT McDonald's: Not For First Dates Would you take someone to McDonaldâs on a first date? Be honest. The internet has spoken, and the answer is a resounding no. First dates are all about making an impression, overthinking the outfit, rehearsing the perfect conversation starters, pretending you donât actually love dipping fries into ice cream. But what happens when the nerves fade, when the pressureâs off, when love becomes real? Thatâs when McDonaldâs steps in. Teaming up with FP7McCann Dubai, the new campaign flips the script on modern relationships while embracing a simple truth: McDonaldâs may not be ideal for your first date, but it is for every other date; the second, the tenth, the hundredth, the âI canât believe weâve been together this longâ date. Through a heartfelt film and a series of striking print visuals, the campaign captures the raw, unfiltered beauty of relationships, the phases, the milestones, the quiet in-betweens.VIEW THE SPOT VIEW THE PRINT ADS UN Women: InkVisible To reduce spousal abuse in Pakistan, UN Women, in collaboration with IMPACT BBDO, have launched a powerful campaign that showcases brides wearing traditional henna, but not as you would expect them to. Beautiful patterns of henna, instead of traditionally being drawn on hands and feet, form the shape of a black eye on a bride. In another visual, strangulation marks from a large male hand appear around a brideâs neck . Another visual shows what would be an injury on a brideâs forehead and a cut lip drawn out by henna. The jarring visuals are meant to raise the alarm, and to inform millions of married women that they can call a national helpline to seek help. 1 in 3 married women reportedly face physical and mental abuse by their partners, and a vast number donât report the crime out of fear that the violence may escalate,VIEW THE 2 SPOTS Nolte Kuchen: Together We Belong Ramadan is all about togethernessâa season filled with love, gratitude, and the joy of creating lasting memories with our family and loved ones. But just imagine the essence of these memories when a father, knowing nothing about the kitchen, decides to take the initiative and prepare Iftar by himself!VIEW THE SPOT Puck: Recipes For Change In the midst of a prolonged conflict that has forced countless families to flee their homes, Puck âa leading and trusted brand across the Middle East and a steadfast ally to mothers - is proud to announce Recipe for Change - a sustainable source of financial support, designed to empower and support affected Lebanese families. Recipe for Change is not just a Ramadan campaign, but an innovative economic model that transforms treasured family recipes into market-ready products that local chefs can proudly feature on their menus across the region and eventually the world.VIEW THE CONCEPT OMO Arabia: The Art Of Stains MullenLowe MENA in collaboration with OMO Arabia, launches âThe Art of Stainsâ, a first-of-its-kind campaign that redefines how period care is communicated in the region. By blending ancient henna artistry with essential knowledge, OMO transforms a culturally ingrained tradition into a powerful, discreet, and deeply personal conversation starter. In Saudi Arabia, beauty and henna salons are more than beauty spaces, they are intimate sanctuaries where women connect, share stories, and uphold tradition. Recognising their unique potential, OMO partnered with skilled henna artists to create bespoke designs that discreetly weave in essential period care information. VIEW THE CONCEPT KFC: Out Doors In a move that literally leaves nothing in the way of late-night cravings, KFCâtogether with TBWARAADâhas done the unthinkable: removed the doors from its restaurants. Dubbed âKFC Out-Doorsâ, this disruptive campaign redefines what it means to be open 24/7 by turning formerly locked doors into eye-catching billboards celebrating KFCâs new around-the-clock service. For decades, shut doors signaled the end of the day for businesses worldwide. But as KFC steps into a new era of non-stop fried chicken, those very doors have become symbols of its dedication to serving customers any time, day or night.

In a playful yet disruptive collaboration with TBWARAAD, the iconic fried chicken brand is introducing the KFC âBribe Bucketâ, giving gamers a wild new way to negotiate for their lives when theyâre downed in-game. Capitalizing on Call of Dutyâs proximity chatâa voice feature that lets players talk, joke, or trick their opponents âthe campaign invites gamers to barter for mercy by offering up KFC vouchers in exchange for being spared. When seconds count, a bucket of finger-lickinâ chicken could be the difference between a crushing defeat and a triumphant comeback.VIEW THE CONCEPT M.A.L.I: Safety Playbook for Noobs Cheil MEA, Dubai in collaboration with M.A.L.I â Mouvement Alternatif pour les Libertés Individuelles, has launched an innovative campaign titled Safety for Noobs. M.A.LI., a movement founded in Morocco in 2009 by human rights activist Ibtissame Betty Lachgar, is committed to defending individual freedoms, women's and children's rights. In the MENA region, one in four children experience some form of sexual violence by age 12. Alarmingly, perpetrators are often within close family or social circles. Addressing this sensitive issue without disrupting a child's sense of safety and innocence has long been a challenge, especially in a region where this topic is often treated as a taboo. Safety for Noobs bridges this gap with a child-friendly approach that educates effectively without fear-inducing methods. The campaign consists of two main components: 1. A Roblox Game â Using the popular gaming platform, the game adapts the familiar 'obby' mode, presenting children with scenarios to navigate, make choices, and learn about potential risks. The game offers feedback on their decisions, building awareness in a fun and interactive way. 2. An Interactive Book 'Safety Playbook for Noobs' â Featuring relatable stories that escalate subtly, prompting children to make decisions when confronted with potential threats. These stories help kids recognise early warning signs and encourage proactive responses. Both resources act as educational tools for parents and educators, sparking important conversations that empower children. The relatable storytelling approach aligns with childrenâs daily experiences, enhancing engagement and retention. VIEW THE CONCEPT Sleepzone: In-Snore Coupons You may just start to wish your spouse snored even louder. In what may be the most apt example of converting something historically displeasing into a delight for many, Sleepzone has launched thesnoremeter.com, a digital platform that transforms the sound of snores into discount coupons for a promotion. The louder the decibel value of the snore, the larger the discount. Snoring is more than often a symptom of sleeping on the wrong kind of pillow, and thatâs where Sleepzone steps in to offer a range of fluffy, comfortable pillows to help you sleep better. Targeting those who have been driven to the edge of lunacy due to the thunderous night-time concerts emitted by their sleeping spouses, Sleepzone offers the best possible remedy: a more comfortable pillow. Launched through film and radio, the campaign â put together by Adpro&, IMPACT BBDO and Impact Proximity â invites people to record a 15-second clip of their partnerâs snores while they doze. An in-built algorithm then translates the decibel level, the pitch of the voice, and the general annoyance level into a tailored discount percentage, ready to be claimed by the customer.VIEW THE CONCEPT e&: Neo Home Plans e& recently unveiled a first-of-its-kind AI-crafted film for its Neo Home Experience platform, in collaboration with Saatchi & Saatchi.
