Brief Explanation

Ramadan is a month of unity, yet this year was different. People were divided and the future seemed grey. In a country on the verge of a meltdown, could there ever be room for reconciliation? Why not? Harping on the idea of inflicting happiness, we opted to own the “Why Not?” platform. On the first day of Ramadan, all key players refrained from airing, while we plunged in. For the first few days, we were the only major player on TV. We featured stereotypes in one ad, including a full bearded man, a first in Coca Cola and Egypt's history.
