Messi kicks off new 'Enjoy the Internet' campaign

DOHA, June 14, 2018

Ooredoo, a leading telecom services company in the region, has teamed up with its global brand ambassador and one of the world’s top football stars Leo Messi once again in a lively new campaign which shows how much fun can be had off the pitch when you dive into a digital world.

In a series of immersive videos, viewers are shown a playful side to Leo Messi and local social media influencers as they share a series of unexpected moments.

The integrated “Enjoy the Internet” campaign features Messi, alongside social media influencers from key markets across Ooredoo’s global footprint. In a series of unexpected and highly shareable moments they bring alive a few of the many ways in which people have fun, socialise, shop and express themselves online.  

The global campaign can be viewed via the link https://youtu.be/9VwlQBrBKYo. Made up of localised TVCs, digital content and out-of-home placements the campaign is set to run across Ooredoo’s markets in the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia, said a statement from Ooredoo.

Ooredoo powers Messi’s digital exploration as he transforms into a Hollywood superhero, Bollywood star and more in the new ad, which will run on international TV and digital channels from June until August, it added.

Sharing his excitement for the new campaign, CEO Sheikh Saud bin Nasser Al Thani said: "I am delighted that the Ooredoo family has come together with Messi to create this unique campaign, representative of each of our markets and showing just a few of the ways that our world-class networks help people to experience the digital world and have fun online."

In this playful and lively campaign Messi and the featured influencers have helped bring alive the power of our network and the variety of share-worthy, digital content available. We’re very proud to continue our great work with Messi and thank him for his on-going support for our initiatives.”

For his part, Messi, said: "This was a great campaign to work on with Ooredoo, showing how much fun can be had off the pitch in the digital world. Ooredoo brings a world of fun to your fingertips; together I hope that we help more people to connect, encourage people to have more fun online and share their experiences more widely."

In the campaign Messi and social media influencers from key Ooredoo markets become the internet content that they are enjoying on Ooredoo’s network. This unique content is tailored in individual TVCs to include local references for each of Ooredoo’s markets to ensure maximum relevance for the audience in those specific markets.     

Representing the Mena and Southeast Asian countries in which Ooredoo operates, social media celebrities include Madjid Bougherra from Algeria, Ahmed Khalil Al Khaldi from Qatar, Mohammed Al-Araimi from Oman, Bader Al-Mutawa from Kuwait, Ahmed Athif from Maldives and Zenn Kyi from Myanmar.

The campaign reinforces Ooredoo’s brand promise to enrich people’s digital lives and highlights the key role that it plays in enabling people to better enjoy the Internet through its world-class networks and incredible, share-worthy content.
