THE GOAL
Enhancing brand awareness

Although it has been a household name in Saudi Arabia for several generations, SharbatlyFruit wanted strengthen brand awareness by creating an emotional connection with its customers, particularly during notable times of year such as holidays and festivals.

THE SOLUTION
Celebrating Saudi National Day

SharbatlyFruit ran a short brand awareness campaign to coincide with Saudi National Day 2020, an important national holiday. It created an emotive video that expressed national pride, using a variety of stunning visuals that celebrated the kingdom’s heritage and natural beauty.

An interest-based audience of people aged 21–55, living in Saudi Arabia, saw this in video ads in Instagram feed and Explore feed. To achieve the maximum impact on brand awareness, SharbatlyFruit aimed to show the video ads to audiences several times during the Saudi National Day holiday. So, it used a reach and frequency buying model, which allowed it to control the number of times audiences saw the ads.

The three-day campaign resulted in:

  • 2.8 million people reached

  • 3.8 million video views over 3 days
