When Henry met Haifa

June 15th, 2006 Zeid Nasser (Admin)

Henry & Haifa.

Well, they’re both Pepsi celebrity-endorsers, and in this age of globalization anyone can meet… right?

So, Pepsi decided to create an advertisement featuring them both, and we’re calling it “When Henry Met Haifa”.

Note that it’s an Arabic-language ad; Haifa Wahbe introduces herself in Arabic and charms Thierry Henry.

The commercial is brand new, and was aired for the first time on 13 June, as part of the World Cup 2006 frenzy that’s taken over the world this month.

Watch it now, then think about the branding widsom behind it ….. if there is any!

Let the debate begin.

    I think it’s cool,
    Haifa fit in the role…
    the way she says “Ana Haifa” makes me giggle…

    But I seriously think Pepsi is endorsment to all the ‘artists’
    is for no good reasons, or just to provoke Coca-Cola’s Nancy…

    I liked the commercial,
    but notice she doesn’t actually ’sing’
    which obviously shows what she is! hehe

    i think haifa was cute in the same way she was ugly
    and henry was handsome….

    elissa was really so beautuful and lovely when she was with christina..

    so you people shouldnt use haifa with pepsi ads

    haifa is really disgusting
    no body likes her in the middle east…..
    oh god pepsi, its a big mistake..
    how could you think about haifa?
    im sorry to say this but she is a *%*# …
    oh she is really *%*#@ ..
    but if u think about elissa, she is the top and the best

    Well Frankly how can u put a world superstar, one of the 100 greatest Footballers of all time ,the only and only Meastro Henry with this *&%*@, that doesnt know how 2 sing or anything except to &%$!#!%, well she will be fine to be in a Durex ad or a plastic surgery ad (shes nearly gonna overrun M-Jackson with the Number of Beauty operations she had).
