Disclaimer:
In no way are recommending nor
encouraging stupid actions and
irresponsible communication.
This presentation is just being used to
drive our point on Localization for the Arab
World.
BACKGROUND
How Many Times Do We See Things
In Our Daily World Of
Advertising & Communication
That Depict Lifestyles Not Our Own
Things Unfamiliar To Us …
In A Way To Grab Our Attention.
Does It Work?
Maybe…
But It Probably Is Not Very Effective.
For Example …
When I See a TV ad with people partying
and doing wild things
And It Turns Out To Be A Non-alcoholic
Beer…
Its Nice…But Not Very Effective
NOT MANY WILL RELATE
When I See An Add With Locals Doing
Wild Parkour Moves Around The City
And It Turns Out To Be A Telecom Ad
WOW… Cool… And Hope One Day We In
The Region Will Take It On
But Still Not Very Effective
&
NOT MANY WILL RELATE
ACKNOLEDGMENT
The Argument Can Go By Saying
That Media Plays A Role In Influencing
And Manipulating The General Publics
Opinions And Views
So Why Not Use Irrelevant Things If They
Can Influence Good
And I Would Agree
But That is When Your Objective Is To Do
That
In The Cases Mentioned Above…
That Was NOT The Objective
SO, WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST
WISE GUY?
Simply Relating Our Communications To
Our Lifestyle & Society
Just Because Something Is Cool And
Popular In Country X Doesn’t Not Make It
Relevant Nor Cool In Our Society
So…
I Can Give One Example Of What I Mean
When Going for Crazy & Wild
Instead Of Showing This
We Use Something We All Know As Crazy
& Stupid…
I Can Relate To This.
Its Stupid & Crazy…
Its Stupid & Crazy…
But ITS LOCAL.
And That’s All I Want To Get Accross
WHAT WERE ABOUT
How it all began…
How it all began…
