Brief Explanation

Most of Saudi Arabia remains unexplored, even to Saudis. So when STC found its claim to have the largest network coverage challenged by competition, we introduced ‘Unveil Saudi’: a nation-wide, real-time demonstration of network power. We traveled far and broadcast live never-before-seen footage and pictures, testing the furthest reaches of our network and uncovering the Kingdom’s breathtaking diversity. Our large-scale operation turned from a trending topic to a permanent internal tourism platform adopted by the government, and consumers’ perception of our network strength increased by 17%.
