Brief Explanation

As a news channel that boasts a fresh approach to reporting, Sky News Arabia caters to a youthful audience with factual news from both the region and the world, LIVE and faster than its competition. True to its tagline, “Now & From Everywhere”, we endeavored to show people what this means. A show-stopping cinema stunt was recorded and published on YouTube. The stunt significantly improved the brand’s equity and social currency, demonstrating that Sky News Arabia truly is “Now & From Everywhere”. Within 48 hours, the video had more than 1 million views. Another 24 hours later, it had exceeded the 2 million mark in viewership and became one of the top trending videos in key markets such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Morocco, and was a featured clip on YouTube for several days.
