Write a short summary of what happens in the film
A highly dedicated employee arrives hurriedly at work in the early hours, coffee thermos and briefcase in hand. With a brisk step, he is set to carpe the diem, climb the corporate ladder. But when he gets to the office, he notices that nobody is around. The place is empty. A phone rings in the background, unanswered. A title appears: Confused about the new weekend? Grab a Snickers.
Cultural / Context information for the jury
When the UAE, at the end of 2021, made the announcement that the weekend is to change from Friday and Saturday to Saturday and Sunday, confusion was nationwide. This was a job for Snickers. Being a brand known to help people with their confusion, we figured, well, this could simply be a case of confusion derived from hunger. And so, we set out to help UAE residents navigate these confusing times through our campaign with a number of integrated pieces, starting with this film piece.
Please tell us about the social behaviour and / or cultural insights that inspired your work
The social behaviour we tapped into was confusion: with the new weekend dates announced in the country, residents of the UAE were uncertain about what to do on a Friday or a Sunday. And so, we stepped in to help with the confusion.
