A Dad's Job

In a COVID-affected retail landscape, how could Home Centre, a furniture retailer, earn share-of-heart and share-of-wallet with millennial Arab moms? With restricted budgets due to budgetary freezes, we stood out from competitors by targeting a seasonal occasion and including a forgotten segment in homes and families across the Middle East. Starting Father’s Day, we told their stories through children. In becoming the first brand to do what it did, Home Centre was bold and took a risk. In turn, we won over Arab moms, positively impacting perceptions, brand, and business.

Burgher Kingh or Burjer Kinj?

Burger King was losing market share to deep-pocketed and well-established players, new local joiners, along with food aggregators. The brand needed to urgently regain relevancy and improve sales or risk more losses. By ditching the traditional food promotions and creating fun content that transcends the cliché food shots while digging deep into the local culture, Burger King was not only able increase sales beyond target by 18%, but also capture the category’s conversation, Saudi youth’s interest, and loyalty (25% increase in followers) and gain $2.4 million in earned media.
