du Just Landed on the Outdoor Advertising Grid, Bringing Smiles to Every Family Member
du has recently returned to the outdoor advertising grid in Sharjah and Dubai, and this time, following their previous OOH ad, it's opting for cosiness over cacophony. The telecom company's most recent campaign with Esaad, which is displayed on billboards, focuses on instantly recognisable themes: family, familiarity, and shared moments. The basic offer is 50% off on some chosen Power Plans while paying with the Esaad card, but the way it's presented feels more lifestyle-oriented than transactional.
The campaign's visual focal point is a purple gradient that gradually blurs into a cityscape, creating the illusion of movement without interruption. In the middle of that is a family mid-selfie that is purposefully casual, slightly posed, and smiling. It's a composition that seems to be intended for recognition, something you can quickly grasp while driving by.
Without packing the frame too full, the bilingual copy “50% off on select Power Plans” does the heavy lifting. The offer continues to be the main focus while Arabic and English are neatly balanced across formats. There is only one obvious incentive connected to a relatable situation; there is no superfluous messaging or conflicting claims. Even the Esaad card's inclusion is handled visually rather than verbally, so it doesn't feel like an add-on and instead blends in with the design.

The campaign scales at placement. du guarantees repetition and visibility along busy routes with everything from broad highway-facing hoardings to building-sized wall wraps. A campaign that follows you around the city rather than interrupting you once is more important than a single noteworthy moment.
The campaign struck the UAE’s hoardings, wall wrappings, and uni-poles in the second week of March.
