Campaign Joy
A brand platform built on the idea of joy, led by a hero film cast from Miral's own staff and aimed at visitors, partners and the Abu Dhabi community. It rolled out over a four to six week media plan starting on social and digital, then out of home, radio, publications and community events, with further activations planned across the following year.
- The brief
- Visitors, partners and residents in Abu Dhabi, as Miral built a brand platform around the joy its destinations create.
- The idea
- Miral's own employees starred in the hero film, which rolled out over four to six weeks, opening on social and digital before moving to outdoor, radio, print and community events.
- What to borrow
- Casting staff in a brand film lets the people who deliver the experience become its proof.
