The Case

The Philip Stein Sleep Bracelet was created specifically for people with sleep problems - minus the need for medication. However, it was not a well-known brand due to low media presence. This was mainly due to the fact that consumers were unaware of its unique features, especially in the region.

The client sought to create awareness about the product, its features and the revolutionary technology. They also needed to stand out from the competition.

RESEARCH

The Philip Stein sleep bracelet was not a well known brand in the region due to low media presence.

Low media visibility meant that many people were not aware of the product and its unique features.

Since Dubai is a high-paced environment, many people experience difficulty sleeping and most end up seeking medication to help them sleep better.

This presented a unique opportunity to create awareness about the product, its revolutionary technology, and its features.
