Connecting Through Cultural Moments
With Saudi National Day approaching, Namshi aimed to participate in the celebration in an authentic and meaningful way. By aligning its Snapchat activity with the cultural moment, the brand connected with audiences through locally relevant storytelling while supporting broader campaign objectives across MENA.
Seeing Success with Sponsored Snaps
As part of Namshi's broader multi-channel Saudi National Day strategy, Namshi used Sponsored Snaps - full-screen vertical videos and images that appear right in Snapchatters’ Chat feed, where people are most engaged.
The creative drew inspiration from Saudi trends and was tailored for Gen Z, featuring effortlessly cool Saudi fashionistas and showcasing Namshi’s variety of brands. Each Snap included promo codes, offers, and delivery details, delivering key messages quickly and effectively.
Because these Snaps appeared alongside messages from friends, the campaign felt authentic and personal - not just another ad. It helped Namshi stay front and center during a moment people genuinely cared about.
