You just know you're in trouble and up for a lot of money when your lead agency is called "Strawberry Frog"....
StrawberryFrog's clients have included Frito-Lay, Credit Suisse, Heineken, Mitsubishi, Morgan Stanley and Emirates Airlines. (Source: Wikipedia) Up for a lot of money for sure.

Weird name for an agency though.

On a side note, did anyone notice the continuity error at the 25th second? A clear shot of the photographer carrying a Canon 1Ds Mark III, then a couple seconds later he appears to be mirrored (the camera is showing as a left hand SLR, also the ring tattoo on his right finger became his left)!
Good spotting skills, sir!
One nice effect I noticed was how the strokes of the Arabic calligraphy right at the end entered as if they were being written by hand.


The ad is neither cheesy nor 'meh' - if this is their attempt at one ad for every market, it isn't too bad. Keep discovering was much nicer though.
