Rise Every Day podcast with Anghami

Mashreq tied its Rise Every Day brand platform to a long-term partnership with the streaming service Anghami, which produced an exclusive podcast of regional stories about people who overcame challenges, plus an original song composed for the bank. UAE customers got up to twelve months of Anghami Plus.

The brief
Mashreq's UAE customers and wider MENA audiences, for the bank's Rise Every Day positioning.
The idea
Anghami produced a podcast of MENA stories about people who beat challenges and stereotypes, and an original song for the bank, while UAE customers got a free Anghami Plus subscription for up to a year.
What to borrow
Giving customers a year of a service they enjoy keeps the bank present daily, in a place unrelated to banking.
