CampaignDescription

The Letter Taa Marbouta ? Was redesigned to resemble a letter that is free rather than a letter that is chained by integrating the profile of a woman within the letter creating a reflection of each woman within the letter,

the design was inspired by the original shape of the letter which was called "the tied T" so instead of making it look like a tied T the letter was face lifted refring the knot that tied the T and changing into a bow at the top a profile of a free lady

this letter was launched in a 360 campaign.

The letter was printed in plexi and distributed across the nation in various events and that created the buzz of millions of women and men holding the letter in their profile pictures

It was tangible and inspiring millions of women to believe in their strength
