Emirati Women's Day 2025 unscripted film
A ninety-second documentary-style film directed by Emirati filmmaker Nayla Al Khaja, built from unscripted conversations with Emirati women across Wio's own risk, legal, marketing and compliance teams. It ran alongside a six-month free Wio Business and Wio Personal subscription for new female Emirati customers and a gathering of female founders and leaders.
- The brief
- Emirati women, many building careers in male-dominated fields, marked on Emirati Women's Day by a digital platform bank.
- The idea
- Nayla Al Khaja directed a 90-second documentary of unscripted talks with women from Wio's compliance, legal, risk and marketing teams, alongside six months' free Wio Business and Personal for new female Emirati customers.
- What to borrow
- Using a company's own women employees, unscripted, grounds a Women's Day message in people the brand actually works with.
