OK. I’m not really sure if it’s the clean air of Faraya Lebanon, or just the sheer entertainment value of the work.. but some of the projects I shot got an honorable mention at the MENA Cristal Awards. Either way I’m not complaining of course!
First on the list is the “What Type Are you” viral campaign for HSBC created by a wonderful team at JWT Dubai got the Cyber Cristal in the Insurance / Banking / Financial service category.
The MTV “Oud” spot I shot for TBWA just got a Cristal in the film category.
The Festival Grand Cristal went to Leo Burnett’s Women Empowerment Program’s integrated campaign which I had the pleasure of working on one of the spots.
Among the shortlisted were Showtime “Eyes” and MTV “Dabkeh” spots which I also directed.
Good news to share. 3 films awarded at the 1st Dubai International Advertising Festival.
Showtime “Eyes” (Leo Burnett Dubai / Independent productions Beirut) which I posted last month, struck gold.
In the same category, MTV “Oud Trip” was also rewarded with a Gold Lynx while “Dabkeh Dude” won bronze (TBWA Dubai / Signature Productions Beirut).
