BTEA — Shop Bahrain

Cover image for BTEA — Shop Bahrain

Agency: Seven Brands

Client: Bahrain Tourism & Exhibitions Authority

Project Type: Integrated Campaign

A festival the size of a country needs a look you can spot from anywhere.

The brief

Shop Bahrain was a nationwide shopping festival. The campaign had to highlight its many touch points, and it rolled out for three consecutive years.

The idea

Make Bahrain itself the poster. The key visuals rebuilt the skyline from shopping bags, rides and neon, reflected in the bay. Our Festival, Your Joy for the festival itself; Our City, Your Oasis for Festival City at Bahrain Bay, with carnival games, an outdoor market, an outdoor cinema and activities for children.

Our Festival, Your Joy.
