BBC ARABIC - Talking Point - WALL

A year-long promotional campaign for BBC Arabic's flagship TV, Online and Radio Programme TALKING POINT. The concept is that the Arab speaking world has diverse views and opinions and that the programme TALKING POINT provides the space and forum for every opinion to be freely expressed.

BBC ARABIC - TALKING POINT - RUBIX

After the success of the first year-long campaign WALL, I was invited back to create the subsequent year-long campaign for BBC Arabic's flagship TV, Online and Radio Programme TALKING POINT (Nuqtat Hewar). By this point the programme had become one of the most popular on the BBC channel with Arab speaking audiences all round the world participating over the phone, online and through social media and SMS. The creative concept is that there are many different sides to a discussion, the question to the viewer is "which side are you on?". Here I used the idea of a Rubix cube that I was fond of playing with as a child and placing the people and their different opinions on each of its sides. The programme then 'solves' the jumbled up opinions into something more structured and coherent.
