Al Waffer 2017

A 360-degree advertising campaign for a leading financial brand in Bahrain.

This campaign was designed to promote “Al Waffer”, a product of Khaleeji Commercial Bank.Al Waffer is a Shari’a compliant investment account which gives you the chance to valuable prizes for every BD 25.00 invested. In 2017, the product was redesigned to have 6 attractive prizes over the period of 12 months. This was a unique value proportion when compared to all the competitor products; the category which offers a single mega prize and a grand draw at the end of each year. This change of format was to be communicated through the visual style of the product as well.

Process

From a single social media post to mega billboards, we kept a close eye on detail and consistency.

To communicate the uniqueness of the product it was clear that the caption needed a fresh take and a total revamp. The existing caption was visually similar to all the other competing product campaign with common visual elements of cash flying, cars, gold, and treasures. Almost all the ads missed a human element and a compelling message. We immediately reacted to this absence and designed a campaign that put together the missing pieces. The campaign was designed with attractive messages in a typographic style and included model photography. The same model was used to communicate all messages thus enhancing recall. From a single social media post to mega billboards, we kept a close eye on detail and consistency. Each mega prize was categorized by a unique color and all collateral corresponding to the particular messages coded with the same color.
