Brief Explanation

Despite strict laws against it, counterfeit is still part of the Lebanese culture - everywhere to be seen, yet barely noticed. Almost any brand has a fake equivalent in stores. To substitute for an inefficient consumer protection office, Brand Protection Group (BPG) was born, a coalition of major corporations and distributors working to fight counterfeit. Without pointing out actual brands being imitated, we were asked to create an awareness campaign on counterfeit and promote the call center. Since "the closest things to you can be fake", a husband can be fake as well when he uses a fake soap.
