Khalak Asli (Stay Original)
A Back-to-School push for the group's e-commerce arm fronted by Saudi comedian Amy Roko, who wrote a bilingual anthem for it. The anthem carried a dance video showing school and university ranges, and ran to the app and the Dubai Hills Mall phygital store.
- The brief
- Gulf students and parents shopping for the new school year, for the back-to-school edit on 6thStreet.com.
- The idea
- Saudi rapper-comedian Amy Roko wrote a bilingual anthem scoring a dance video of school and university gear from Skechers, Adidas, Herschel and others, pointing to the app and Dubai Hills Mall store.
- What to borrow
- A creator-written song gives a retailer's seasonal catalogue a single piece of content that can travel on its own.
