Description
Over the last 50 years, much has changed in the UAE, from malls to skyscrapers and tan lines. However, one thing has remained constant – the Friday/Saturday weekend. At the end of 2021, the UAE announced that Saturday and Sunday is the new weekend.
Confusion was imminent. Snickers, a brand known to help people with their confusion, figured, well, this confusion is derived from hunger. The solution – grab a Snickers.
Our idea was extremely simple: hijack the conversation around the new weekend confusion and let Snickers own it. Through social listening we identified the widespread uncertainty when it came to what to do on a Friday or a Sunday, and we decided to remind people that it could all be solved with a Snickers.
Our big idea: don't let the new weekend confuse you.
