Execution

Beirut Duty Free wanted to create a campaign to counter the fact that leaving Lebanon is often very emotional and doesn’t always create the perfect mood for people to purchase anything at the Duty Free. Solution: Create one more great memory of Lebanon for travelers to take back. Idea: A live event at the airport’s Duty Free departures area using a traditional Lebanese dance (Dabké), famous for its joyful nature and bringing people together.
