Bashar Daas, known as Bonfelle, in black and white

By day, I build campaigns for some of the best-known brands in the region. I’ve helped Zain and BENEFIT move at digital speed, told the stories of trusted banks like NBB, BBK, and ila Digital Bank, and shaped education campaigns for AUBH and healthcare campaigns for KKT. I’ve given Oman Oil fresh energy, made Bell Helmets look as tough as they are, and helped GIG make insurance feel clear and warm. Most recently, I’ve worked with Changan in Saudi Arabia and on Gulf Air’s 75th anniversary. Every project starts the same way: listening for the brand’s own voice, then finding the idea that makes people lean in.
