Brief Explanation

INSIGHTS & THE IDEA Durex wanted to enter the Lebanon market. Sex is taboo in the Middle East and no sexual health education exists. There is no “go to” site in Arabic that informs about STIs, techniques and contraception. CREATIVE EXECUTION Digitally, we created the world’s first sex information forum in Arabic. Physically, we partnered with Marsa, the first ME health clinic based in Beirut, connecting users’ questions with answers from experts. RESULTS 100,000 fans - 2nd largest in world 20% engagement - highest for any Durex 5,000 monthly users access the app 50 Q+A monthly between fans and experts
