2019 Winners & Shortlists

Cultural/Context information for the jury.

Dulux is a global paint brand, arriving in the MENA region mostly unknown to the local target. They needed to make clear that they are bringing more colours to the region with elegant and relevant communication. With desertic climate and traditional architecture, the Gulf countries have a very monochromatic landscape, with buildings, nature and sky mixing in the same tones. With a detail inside a typical scenario, we showed how much colour Dulux could bring to the region, and how much difference a little bit of colour makes. We used the typical colours and architecture of the buildings of the region, each with details only found in specific countries. Adding colour to one detail on our visual shows how Dulux is not trying to change the region, but offering the chance for people to add more colour to their private lives, no matter where they live.
