news and Youth. The media campaign which started one week before the event
was of great success as well.

“Lead by Example” was the perfect branded content tool for GMC as the web series allowed
them to showcase the GMC brand and their new Yukon Denali model. Through the series GMC
were able to connect with their target audience by telling personal and exclusive stories of
successful people and leaders from the region, reflecting GMC, the Yukon in particular as their
preferred brand. With exception of media distribution, we exclusively handled the idea, content
development, execution and production of “Lead by Example”.
The Managing Director of Total Liban moves on to new horizon within the group
after spending 5 years in Lebanon, Beirut. On November 14th 2014, this
departure of Mr. Jacques Souplet, was marked by a farewell dinner organized by
Front Page Communication, at the Residence des Pins (Beirut).
We were asked to drive sales and maintain leadership on Nivea’s Black and White
antiperspirants, targeting the GCC and local community, specifically the UAE and the
KSA market. We developed a strong branded content campaign that was built around
storytelling that targeted local consumers and addressed their needs and concerns
which we learnt from insights with the help of leading Abaya Designer “Sara Al
Madani”.
From concept through to organization, speaker recruitment, and implementation.

“In The Boardroom” is the first BUSINESS web series in the Middle East based on
