Connected by definition

"Wireless by definition. Connected by patriotism" reads the headline of mtc touch ad by Saatchi & Saatchi Beirut. The bodycopy is as perfect. "Everyone has something to say" is the telecom's slogan adopted in Lebanon and made up by Saatchi. It's a punchline that conveys a bloody load of meaning, so appropriate to Lebanon's socio-politico climate that it manages to make mtc totally rooted in the country's culture; whereas, we all know that it's a Kuwaiti-based provider that went global Big time. In Kuwait, its slogan used to be "WE HEAR YOU"; a bit cliché to say the least... Present in 22 countries, Zain (formerly mtc) is bidding today to try to gain the acquisition of the Lebanese cellular provider. If it wins, [even if doesn't] mtc will disappear soon; nonetheless, everyone will always have something to say; and hopefully Zain will prevail and confirm that indeed, there is no "Wonderful World" without our freedom of speech. You can view more of mtc ads--soon to become vintage-- by clicking on mtc tag or visiting ArabAd archive blog- You can also check the wonderful possibilities a flag can do when graphic designers toy with it....
