Golden Jubilee social media contest
A social media contest marking fifty years of the bank, giving away commemorative gold prizes of 5g, 10g, 20g, 40g and 50g, with a grand draw in the last week of December and winners announced on DIB's own channels. It ran under the anniversary line 'Progress Never Stops'.
- The brief
- DIB's customers and the wider public in the UAE, thanked as the bank turned fifty under a new identity.
- The idea
- Five social challenges on Facebook, X and Instagram handed out gold prizes that grew each round, from 5g to 50g, ending in a late-December grand draw under 'Progress Never Stops'.
- What to borrow
- Raising the prize each round gives a long anniversary contest a built-in reason for people to keep coming back.
