A couple of\u00a0Ramadan<\/a>\u00a0ads hit headlines this year.<\/p>\n

We saw\u00a0 a powerful and bold ad from\u00a0Zain,<\/a>\u00a0the Kuwaiti owned telecommunications company, which wished people Ramadan Kareem while addressing\u00a0the leaders of the world and asking for help. This ad\u00a0divided opinion, with some people calling ‘exploitation’ of the Holy Month, and others labelling the ad brilliant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While this McDonalds’s ad has received an overwhelmingly positive reaction…<\/p>\n

The McDonald’s 2018 Ramadan ad is based on a delivery driver living in Singapore<\/h3>\n
Their tag: ‘Sharing food creates a bond like no other. This Ramadan, McDonald’s brings you even more reasons to share.’<\/h5>\n
\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>You see Adik rise before sunrise with his family. Meet friends. Deliver McDonald’s in the city, help people out with directions, take the stairs when the lift is broken and deliver meals.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, McDonald’s hits the nail on the\u00a0emotive head. The viewer\u00a0can nearly SMELL the McDonald’s. The final scene, of an older man sharing a Happy Meal after it’s clear Adik has forgotten it’s time to break fast is touching.<\/p>\n<h4>It’s a reminder to respect delivery drivers<\/h4>\n<figure class=\"content__image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"151\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2018 06 04 At 11 15 43 Am\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovinsaudi.com\/images\/uploads\/2018\/06\/_blogWide\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-04-at-11.15.43-AM.png?mtime=20180604091535\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"c-adunit c-adunit--mpu_mid\">\n<div id=\"mpu_mid\" class=\"c-adunitcontainer\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>And it’s giving people the feels<\/h4>\n<figure class=\"contentimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"97\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2018 06 04 At 11 16 04 Am\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovinsaudi.com\/images\/uploads\/2018\/06\/_blogWide\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-04-at-11.16.04-AM.png?mtime=20180604091556\"><\/figure>\n<h4>‘Fasting but life goes on’<\/h4>\n<figure class=\"content__image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"68\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2018 06 04 At 11 16 24 Am\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovinsaudi.com\/images\/uploads\/2018\/06\/_blogWide\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-04-at-11.16.24-AM.png?mtime=20180604091619\"><\/figure>\n<h4>One YT user pointed out an inaccuracy<\/h4>\n<figure class=\"content__image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"60\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2018 06 04 At 11 16 47 Am\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovinsaudi.com\/images\/uploads\/2018\/06\/_blogWide\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-04-at-11.16.47-AM.png?mtime=20180604091643\"><\/figure>\n<h4>But the overall feeling was positive<\/h4>\n<figure class=\"content__image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"149\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2018 06 04 At 11 17 18 Am\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.lovinsaudi.com\/images\/uploads\/2018\/06\/_blogWide\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-04-at-11.17.18-AM.png?mtime=20180604091706\"><\/figure>\n<p><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A couple of\u00a0Ramadan\u00a0ads hit headlines this year.
