Bright Point Complex Goes Straight to the Point on Cairo’s Billboards
The latest out-of-home campaign created by Bright City Developments for the Bright Point Complex has a certain confidence to it, but in a way that doesn’t try too hard, which is where the campaign’s greatest strength is.
The real estate campaign, which has been rolled out on key roads in Zahraa Al Maadi, has a clear focus on the idea of “Easy to Reach, Hard to Miss,” which is a clever play on words. The idea of being easy to reach is, of course, a nod to the location, but the idea of being hard to miss is also a clever play on the campaign. The ad itself is quite simple, with a deep maroon background, gold lettering, and large-scale images of the complex. The project offers down payments of 10% and installments of 100 up to a month for their shops, clinics, and offices.
The billboards are clutter-free, which is a good thing, with the key message being clear. The hierarchy of the campaign is quite sharp, with the payment plan details being easily visible, yet not overpowering the image. The campaign has smartly varied the layout of the images, moving from images of the complex to images of the different things that can be found there, such as shops, offices, and clinics. The use of the logo of the Bright Point The result is an OOH rollout that feels assured, legible, and well-calibrated for its audience, proving that sometimes, being easy to reach really is hard to miss.
What makes the campaign particularly effective, however, is the way in which it understands context, not just in terms of location, but also in terms of mindset. Zahraa Al Maadi is a place of transition, of commutes, of traffic, of a certain level of residential calm, and a certain level of commercial aspiration. Rather than trying to style the location, rather than trying to tap into the aspirational clichés of the lifestyle, the campaign meets the reality of the location head-on.
The use of the architectural images is crisp, but never overly styled, always grounded in a sense of reality rather than fantasy. The use of the colors, the muted maroon, the gold, is a statement of stability, of seriousness, of a commitment to the idea of the Bright Point Complex as a long-term investment. The repetition of the idea, the repetition of the promise, is a means of creating familiarity through consistency, of allowing the idea to be absorbed, rather than demanding it be understood in a single, immediate burst.
