To convince everyone that voting really is worthwhile.
STRATEGY
Target Audience:

Creative Strategy:
To convince all Bahrainis that voting was worthwhile and their vote truly mattered was a giant task in difficult times, from a marketing strategy of creating awareness delivered through the creative strategy of “ بصوتك تقدر” which means with your vote you can. This friendly and colloquial approach meant we were not talking to the people but with them and it’s this approachability that became the strategy’s strength.
