Ramadan Commercials

So far, I love the MTC-Vodafone ad. It's great fun! Wataniya's isn't bad either.

NBK's new ad for Watani Online is so obviously a low-budget version of their previous بنكي الوطني campaign, and we all know how they worship at the altar of the cost-cutting gods!

The most disturbing is the one which compares picking a bride with selecting a مطّارة شاي. I really don't know what to make of that..

  3. I don't know if u share this with me or is it only me, MTC ad's really have a point in them but Wataneiya ones miss the connection between the ad & the service they are advertising for. For example the one for guys fishing then it says express your self !! what is the link ? by cheating & making him self look like a good fisherman is how he expresses him self? shouldnt it be about X-Press'ing your self MTHLN having some one customize somethings to his/her mood !! then the X-press card comes in like & not cheating to win :}.

  4. Note that X-press has a seperate marketing team than that of Wataniya.

    As for the دله-مطاره ad.
    Yeah, I didn't know wut to make of it at 1st but then It made me laugh, I give them 8/10 for creativity and 7/10 for execution.


    wuts up with قرقيعان?
    The show that is, and the weird pranks Show on T.V.
    Why is comedy only defined as one of the two, physical disability or transexuality?
    الطريق الى كابول truly a work worth noting, Qatar T.V. productions once again.

    well anyways back to ads, I see an improvement in quality of productions, hope next year more time will be spent on the 'idea'

  11. عندما تشاهد هذه الدعاية ستعتقد لأول وهلة أنك أمام عمل إبداعي لأغنية وطنية حماسية.........و فجأة تجد أمامك زجاجة فيمتو....... اللحن و الأغنية في غاية الروعة.......و حرام يروحو على قنينة فيمتو.
