تشاركنا المصير

Omantel's lockdown Ramadan campaign, hashtagged #تشاركنا_المصير (We Share the Same Fate). The hero film is a song telling Omanis they can still break their fast, laugh and live together virtually while apart. Leo Burnett MEA created it, 35Film produced it and Zenith planned the media.

The brief
Omanis facing a Ramadan without family gatherings during the 2020 lockdown.
The idea
Under the hashtag #تشاركنا_المصير, 'We Share the Same Fate', the main film is a song reminding Omanis they can still break the fast, laugh and support each other online.
What to borrow
A telecom brand fits naturally at the centre of togetherness when its network is what keeps separated families in touch.
