A group of great people working for a great establishment.
They each had a story to tell… I just gave them a platform… English Arabic The market leader with the most subscribers… How can we say it without sounding arrogant? I said we don’t… let others say it I’m with Zain… …and so is everyone Audiences proved me right… and so did the judges The price of gas went up… and the public mood went sour Social activists wanted to do more than just criticize… they wanted to bring people together to make sure the poor could still afford the gas they use to stay warm during the winter… I was happy to give this noble initiative a name… 2 words that mean “we are all each other’s support” …an Ad that was titled “Alphabets of a nation” …and make a song and dance of it Some would argue, however, that nothing brings Jordanians together like a good Mansaf When I was asked to market micro-financing for the underprivileged, I went looking for insights where the audience were… …and found the cutest model ever…
…who also turned out to be the muse behind the copy
Grandma is better now Dad fixed the house Not many people were laughing when the financial crisis hit… so my client wanted to offer some comic relief… even if a bit self-serving The new identity of QAPCO was visually reached… now remained the tagline that would sum up the essence of the brand & it’s products With such a solid line, coming up with copy was a walk in the park… for TV… …and print My part Pitch winners. Convincing the all-female client staff of this one was a sizable challenge… but thankfully, they were brave enough to go with it 2006… Turning artwork into a message of hopeful defiance. Second intifada… Palestinian children were portrayed as combatants… We wanted to show something else… potential The client insisted on the horrific medals… however, the play on words earned this piece a bronze in Jordan’s Ad awards… not a total loss This one was for a more serious educator I preferred this one…
Our offer is 333% sweeter …but this was the client’s preferred option HOPE FOR A BEAUTIFUL WORLD… AND A SMILE THAT KNOWS NO IMPOSSIBLE.
solely inspired by this
brave girl’s smile. The client was so pleased with the messages developed for their “inspired by Qatar” campaign… …they entrusted this humble writer with naming their Islamic services… …and the many messages that followed. …up to harvesting handsome dividends. While others inspire you to see things that are not there. If I had a car for every automotive client! Sporty by nature A change that can’t be contained Leveraging QNB’s sponsorship of ASIAD 2006 was a thrill… …but changing the positioning of one of the world’s biggest banks by changing one word was equally exciting I was presented with great visuals and asked to give them Life… …and the idea gained a life of its own I sometimes had to check facts like Do Peacocks Fly? And whether a really big prize can be called a Giant one. You can never work fast enough for some clients! while other clients inspire you to see things that are not there… …but every client deserves great results. Thanks for taking the time… (I wrote this one for all the busy people – enjoy the music if you don’t speak Arabic)
