Introducing the MBR City 2020 Diwali cinema ad campaign
Diwali – the festival of lights, is one of the most popular Indian festivals widely rejoiced by Hindus across the globe. The festival symbolizes the spiritual ‘victory’ of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. It is a time for both gratitude and happiness, and is celebrated by families and friends with the lighting of oil lamps, exchange of presents, feasting on traditional sweets and wearing new ethic outfits.
This year’s festival fell on Saturday 14th November, and even though we are still very much in COVID-19 mode, the spirit of Diwali lived on, with families celebrating responsibly and festival related events executed in compliance with COVID-19 safety protocols.
Bringing a touch of Diwali to the BIG Screen this year was Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City). As part of the 6 week on-screen campaign (from 5th November to 16th December 2020) with Motivate Val Morgan, MBR City dedicated ten days (5th – 14th November 2020) to its bright and glamorous 2020 Diwali creative.
The 60 sec. Diwali creative screened across multiple VOX, Reel and Oscar cinema locations in the UAE:

Nezo – salt manufacturer, recently booked an off-screen popcorn box branding campaign through Motivate Val Morgan at various VOX Cinemas locations across the UAE.
The branded popcorn tubs were distributed to moviegoers starting Thursday 21st November 2019, and will continue to be dispensed until stocks last.
The aim of the campaign was to highlight the importance of Nezo salt in food items, similar to the importance and significance of having popcorn while watching movies at the cinema.
A total of 50,000 popcorn boxes were branded with Nezo graphics. 5,000 boxes were allocated at each cinema location. The campaign kicked off at VOX Cinemas – Mall of the Emirates and also ran across the following VOX locations:
