MENA Ramadan emotional arc

Define

A campaign that follows the month's emotional weather: anticipation, fasting days, family nights, Eid. Not one generic Ramadan kareem line.

Mechanism

Calendar of feeling. Each week of the month has a different permission and a different ask. The arc is the media plan.

Verdict

We will be present across the month and can change tone as the days change.

Don't

A single festive skin on last quarter's ad. That is seasonal decoration, not an arc.

Gulf note

Gulf and Egypt both reward sincerity and gathering. Humor that punches family or faith drops the film. KSA and UAE often lean polished family. Egypt often leans a song and a known face. Keep offer-first units under seasonal-offer-first. Do not force a smash into a film that needs mercy first.
