I love this Arabic-reggae fusion song by Mohammed Moneer and The Wailers (Bob Marley’s band) done for Coke Studio Arabia.

creative lab from twofour54 ibtikar is holding a community event today (March 13) to showcase its latest projects and introduce its pool of talents.

A great event for inspiration, mingling and networking with people from the media and entertainment industry in Abu Dhabi.

Here’s the link to the invite with location & time details:

Came across an ad for Tarts Sweet House, a manufacturer (in their own words - wrong choice of words in my opinion) of tarts and cakes based in Abu Dhabi, and the tarts look yummy.

After a quick scan of their basic website, seems they bake the goodies in their factory in  Mussafah and those are distributed through home deliveries and deliveries to restaurants, hotels, etc. but seems they also have a small shop in Abu Dhabi at “Al Souq”  which I’m assuming means the Central Souq (helps to clarify your location to attract customers!)

Will find it and give it a try soon.

One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.” - Oscar Wilde

Not a drinker or supporter of alcohol advertising, but this piece of communication for Johnnie Walker is honest and inspires to take bold steps and keep walking to achieve your dreams.

The spot features Nadine Labki, Lebanese director as well as lead actor of Caramel (2007) and Where Do We Go Now? (2011). Nadine stands out as an actor just as much as a director. Her acting is expressive and honest and her emotions come through very real. I think she’s the perfect choice for this campaign.

The music is composed and produced by Khaled Mouzannar who also composed the beautiful music for Nadine’s two films mentioned. He also happens to be her husband. Here’s one of my favorite pieces from Khaled from Caramel’s OST:

Great reminder there!
