Al-Futtaim Lexus’ Ramadan film focuses on thoughtfulness and meaningful connections

Posted on 2023 Apr,11 | By ArabAd's staff

Memac Ogilvy & Al-Futtaim Lexus saw an opportunity to own thoughtfulness and celebrate the time and effort that people in the UAE put into Ramadan each year.

They found a parallel between the Japanese philosophy of Omotenashi, a Lexus principle that promotes wholeheartedly looking after guests and the kind actions undertaken every Ramadan in an effort to show you care. This was the start of their Ramadan brand platform, Discover A World Of Thoughtfulness, that set out to inspire thoughtfulness through heartfelt storytelling and communication.

At the centre of this Ramadan film, a simple yet heart-warming story showcases the thoughtful actions of three different families, as they aim to safely transport their own dish for a special Iftar meal with grandpa.

The film highlights the thoughtful consideration each family shows, as they utilise various features on their Lexus vehicles to ensure their dishes get to the family home in one piece.

Each family member plays a unique role in delivering their dish and there’s an emotional undertone in how it all comes together at the end.

The film beautifullly captures how thoughtfullness is what the holy month is all about in a seamless storyline that puts Lexus at the heart of the journey.

Saad Abdullah, General Manager - Marketing at Al-Futtaim Motors said: “Our aim was to tell a simple story about a customary Ramadan family reunion, emphasizing the significance of meaningful connections with loved ones with a humorous twist at the end.

Our film aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the traditions and values that define the spirit of this month and we were happy to work with our partners at Memac Ogilvy to find a natural way to feature our range of beautiful Lexus vehicles, including the All-New Lexus RX in our storytelling”.

The platform shows off various Lexus models and their corresponding features and most importantly shows consumers how by simply behaving with thoughtful concern for others, a better future is possible for all.
