6. Billboard campaign

london Underground tube & Billboards campaign

The aim behind the name ‘find-out-why’ was to create curiosity among people about a certain action, direct them to a source, a website and find out more about the specific action. Campaigns are run in UK & Ireland.

While advertising on London Underground & Billboards, we decided to keep the brand away from any link with Islam & Muslims to increase the curiosity. The Campaigns are organised through out the year. Ramadan Campaign was organised with the following statement:

1.57 Billion people are fasting today - FinDoUtWhY.co.UK

The website provides information on the practice of fasting and the essence of Islam.

Findoutwhy Billboard campaign allowsmillions to learn about islamand its principles.
