In Saudi Arabia, everything is different… even brands!

 

SAAB
In Saudi Arabia, laws result in changes to international brands, such as the HSBC for example becoming SABB (Saudi Arabian British Bank). Take a look at the picture above, it’s the same well-known HSBC logo but with different letters!

Diet prices, refreshing offers …. does Coke endorse Air Arabia?

Diet Prices

This is the visual from a campaign that Air Arabia has been running online on Arabic websites for some time now.

Note how it uses a Diet Coke can, to push it’s message of “Diet Prices” written on the can, and the headline of “Enjoy our Refreshing Prices”.

It’s an interesting use of an existing c0nsumer product to promote another, but it leaves you wondering if Coca Cola have provided permission for this; or if it’s within any advertiser’s rights to use images and colors that insinuate another product without mentioning its name.
