smoking minds

TBWA\RAAD\AFYOUNI - Kuwait

Creative Director: Ali Roumani

Fast quiting

An amusing visual 'subverting' Marlboro light packaging. Usurping corporate identities of major companies has become a familiar - and efficient- way of grabbing attention while making critical commentary.

This anti-smoking ad is designed by Pulse DDB Kuwait as a an awareness message during the holy month of Ramadan last September 07- It is a somehow a stimulative communication for an anti-smoking campaign, as it triggers some postivity thanks to structuring of the copy itself and the word 'Mabrouk' (common Arabic saying for Congratulation) anticipate on the quitting act. Copy Reads: "if you can do it now...You can do it always"; Mabrook, this Ramadan, you will quit smoking for a month-

This topic is covered by ArabAd magazine in its December issue 07.

Sign for Life

Koweit roads are big time dangerous zones. Around 450 is the death toll yearly. For such a small country it is a major problem. And strangely, no prevention-whether from governmental or private corporate side- has ever been done. This is why, this one can't be but an excellent initiative by Pulse DDB-Koweit, to raise awareness by tackling THE ROAD SAFETY issue. More of such should appear and get as much as possible of media exposure. credits: Agency- Pulse DDB CD-Gilbert Semillano

Moved by a Citroen

Well, well, well, that's the first time ever, that we get to see ads, in Kuwait, for an automotive brand without having to see the car featured... And we just love this campaign. It's obviously addressed to a smart, mature audience who doesn't need to see the car pictured to get its interest. These ads aim at creating an emotional bond with the brand instead of provoking an instant buy. And that's what is called brand building. Bravo guys! by B Communications - Kuwait ; Creative Directors: Gilbert Semillano & Eric Tabuena
