Brief Explanation

Etisalat wanted a campaign to launch their new tariff for youth. The key insight chosen here was that youth have a lot of dreams and aspirations yet they clash with a difficult reality. This was portrayed as if we're all born with two buttons: a YES button and a NO button. Life keeps on clicking on our buttons differently. The problem of youth is that they've been encountering a lot of NO clicks from life. They're longing for any YES click to come. Thus, we decided to be that YES click, or at least one of the few to come.
