FIFA the 13th! http://jazarah.net/fifa-the-13th/ http://jazarah.net/fifa-the-13th/#comments Wed, 05 Sep 2012 06:15:19 +0000 Samer Marzouq http://jazarah.net/?p=47730 JOIN THE CLU13 – a new campaign that was created by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam to launch the all new FIFA 13, which will be available on the 27th of September. The new campaign features a young man who ventures into the FIFA 13 club for the first time, he experiences a lot of surprises throughout his journey in the club that concludes with a match against Lionel Messi inside a bustling living room.

The campaign consists of a TV Spot, which I think is really amazing! In addition, it consists of 2 Prints Ads and an Online Interactive Experience, where fans can learn about the new features the game enjoys, as well as some tips from players such as Messi and Benzema.

What Creatives Really Think About Advertising http://jazarah.net/what-creatives-really-think-about-advertising/ http://jazarah.net/what-creatives-really-think-about-advertising/#comments Thu, 14 Jun 2012 10:09:30 +0000 Samer Marzouq http://jazarah.net/?p=46705 Advertising is one of the coolest jobs, yet it can be very frustrating; late working hours, urgent briefs, no briefs sometimes, ridiculous deadlines… etc. which makes turn over in ad agencies very high. According to Deutsch LA, which will be hosting a presentation titled “Ending The Agency Talent Rotisserie” this year at the Cannes Lions, research shows that 30% of the people in advertising will leave their agencies this year, so how do you end this? The answer is at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.

The World’s Most Expensive Billboard Showcased in Dubai http://jazarah.net/the-worlds-most-expensive-billboard-showcased-in-dubai/ http://jazarah.net/the-worlds-most-expensive-billboard-showcased-in-dubai/#comments Mon, 11 Jun 2012 08:44:51 +0000 Samer Marzouq http://jazarah.net/?p=46592 DUBAI, UAE, June 11, 2012/PRNewswire/ – Estimated to cost USD 1.3 Billion for a month, the billboard featured a Jet Pack Man flying around the billboard in a seconds-long promotion for Skydive Dubai and Go Fast

Skydive Dubai, the world’s premiere skydiving center, in association with Go Fast, a global energy brand, showcased the world’s most expensive billboard located in Downtown Dubai, at 6pm on the 1st of June. In what was deemed to be the most expensive billboard, Skydive Dubai and Go Fast utilized a Jet Pack to create the interactive billboard.

The billboard involved a man with a Jet Pack, initially hidden within the billboard, who emerged from the billboard and flew around it for approximately 20-30 seconds, before landing back on the billboard. If the Jet Pack act for the billboard were to have continued for a month, it would have cost approximately USD 1.3 Billion.

The billboard was strategically positioned at the entrance of the stunning Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Located in one of the most premier destinations in the world, Downtown Dubai, billed as ‘The Centre of Now,’ the Go Fast billboard by Skydive Dubai created a new landmark for Dubai.

Commenting on the Skydive Dubai’s association with Go Fast for the billboard, Mr. Nasser Al Neyadi, Chairman of Skydive Dubai, said: “This is an epic moment, and we are very proud to be part of it. This initiative is another example showcasing Dubai as a world leader in innovation and technology. The billboard came into being with a simple idea that has transformed into an exceptional event to attract a global audience. Our gratitude to our partners, Go Fast and Emaar Properties, without whose support, this would not have been possible.”

“Skydive Dubai would like to acknowledge that the creation of such a monumental dropzone would not be possible without the support and extraordinary vision of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council and President of the Dubai Sports Council.”

Skydive Dubai is supported by Emaar Properties PJSC, the global property developer of iconic projects, and the provider of premier lifestyles. Emaar has been shaping landscapes and lives in the Emirate since its inception in 1997, creating value-added, master-planned communities that meet the full spectrum of lifestyle needs. Downtown Dubai is the flagship mega-development of Emaar, and features iconic developments including Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and The Dubai Fountain, in addition to homes, commercial offices and leisure attractions.

Mr. Troy Widgery, CEO of Go Fast, commented on the event, saying, “We are very happy to be in Dubai. During our first visit two years ago, the city left us mesmerized. Its people and the culture here is amazing. We were immediately convinced to bring Go Fast to the UAE and have introduced the Go Fast Halal Energy Formula, the first of its kind in the world, developed especially for this region. We are certain that the brand will be received very well here. We are grateful for the support of Skydive Dubai for our venture in this part of the world. With this billboard, we want the people to know that we will be here soon.”

The seconds of flight time for the billboard in Downtown Dubai would cost a minimum of USD 500 per second. If the number of seconds in a month (60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24hours x 30 days = 2,592,000 seconds) is multiplied by USD 500, the total amounts to approximately USD 1.3 Billion for the month long fly time for the billboard.

Skydive Dubai is an all-turbine drop zone, offering safe, professional and fun skydiving experience over the breathtaking Dubai skylines. Skydive Dubai caters to skydivers of all experience levels from the first time tandem jumpers to fun jumpers and experienced skydivers.
