12. 12. Patrick | August 14th, 2008 at 12:16 pm

    … so that’s how low guys have gotten in Kuwait? Making career choices depending on the number of “hot chicks” that are available in a company? =)

    That’s great. lol. lol.

13. 13. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 2:16 pm

16. 16. somechick | August 14th, 2008 at 4:57 pm

17. 17. Mark | August 14th, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    Tarik: Leo Burnett

    Whoever wants to apply for internship please email me.

18. 18. Moey | August 14th, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    Yes, Tarik. It is where I work :) Leo Burnett.

19. 19. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 5:14 pm

    Thanks guys. Who does Zain and Wataniya’s work? I assume things are gonna get pretty hot between the three agencies!!! ouch!

20. 20. Mark | August 14th, 2008 at 5:16 pm

    JWT does Zain
    Impact BBDO does Wataniya
    Leo Burnett does Saudi Telecom

21. 21. Moey | August 14th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

    The 3 agencies are top notch :)
    They know what to do properly, Leo Burnett also does du (UAE).

22. 22. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 5:24 pm

    Thanks. I’m still voting for OBAMA!!!!!

23. 23. Moey | August 14th, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    Ah-ha!

24. 24. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 5:26 pm

    Gonna be interesting to see what type of ad work is gonna be pumped out by the 3 ad agencies.

25. 25. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 5:26 pm

    Ah-ha what?

26. 26. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 5:28 pm

    As Master Yoda would say in his accent, a democrat, I am.

27. 27. Moey | August 14th, 2008 at 5:29 pm

    Zain’s advertising is good already, Wataniya has some few good work. I personally prefer Zain’s ads.

28. 28. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 5:29 pm

    What? No comeback?

29. 29. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 5:38 pm

    I don’t know much about advertising and ad agencies, but as a consumer (and Zain subscriber) I agree, Zain is good; Saudi Telecom is non-existant (but only for now, no offence Moey), but, Wataniya, WOW, you have to admit consistently pump out awesome ad’s, especially tv ad’s. I think Wataniya’s advertising work tops the list for now boys. Let’s see what happens in the next 6 month’s or so.

30. 30. steve_leb | August 14th, 2008 at 6:11 pm

    how can we check the logo of the new telecom company.. i heard is done already.. can anyone share it with us..

31. 31. A E R O | August 14th, 2008 at 7:01 pm

    Leo Burnett is very good in Dubai, Im not sure how good they’ll be in Q8.
    Agree with Tariq, at the very least Wataniya doesn’t do uber-cheesy ads (life is wonderful… you are my princess… this is my bs…)

    Oh and… how about that “kattoura” ad? I wanted to die…

32. 32. Mark | August 14th, 2008 at 7:04 pm

    logo= stc.com.sa

33. 33. Mark | August 14th, 2008 at 7:06 pm

    btw everyone, aero is the marketing manager of Wataniya that’s y he sounds like a sore loser LOL

34. 34. Mark | August 14th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

    AERO: its really lame when you pretend not to be involved with Wataniya and then go around posting positive comments about them. “I agree with Tariq”. I am sure you do, you approved the ads duh…

    You do that a lot on ads2blog.com, pretending not to be involved with wataniya and then posting “i love this wow its the most creative ad in the world” lol

35. 35. Mark | August 14th, 2008 at 7:21 pm

    oh and btw, the kattoura ad you made fun of has so far been more successful than any Wataniya ad. The response in the market has been outstanding and that fact that you think it sucks says a lot ;)

36. 36. Ansam | August 14th, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    I love Qatura Ad :-) the song starts playing in my head sometimes when I wake up in the morning LOL

    You know its successful when you even hear children singing it and its not only creative but also ad to the ZAIN group social responsibility in saving water and such… in much better way than stupid tarsheed ads!!

37. 37. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 11:28 pm

    Now now girl’s I must apologise for this cause it seems as if I started something…sorry about hurting anyone’s feelings :(
    AERO, if Mark says you are who he alleges you are….then you’re a bad bad boy. Mark, I wouldn’t talk much if I were you because Zain is JWT’s client so you’re biased to the extreme!! (Rumour also has it that Zain sponsors you site too (hush hush)…so tread carefully :)

38. 38. Mark | August 14th, 2008 at 11:34 pm

    Tarik I don’t think you hurt anyones feeling here. Its more like AERO who was just acting unprofessional. You also probably noticed that I don’t talk much about Zain on the blog and thats because they are my clients and they do also sponsor this site. In the case above I was just defending kattoura.

39. 39. Tarik | August 14th, 2008 at 11:50 pm

    Cheers for that M; now can we all just get along already! AERO you’re a chocolate!!! but Wataniya still has great ad’s whichever way you look at it.

40. 40. Moey | August 15th, 2008 at 3:05 am

    Leo Burnett gave wataniya their logo and Mark, you are wrong. STC is for STC only.

41. 41. Moey | August 15th, 2008 at 3:06 am

    A E R O, Leo Burnett Kuwait and Dubai is under one management, and it is not good, it is great.

42. 42. Mark | August 15th, 2008 at 10:29 am

    Moey what do you mean STC is for STC only?

43. 43. Moey | August 15th, 2008 at 1:24 pm

    the STC logo was made for STC (KSA only).

44. 44. Mark | August 15th, 2008 at 1:44 pm

    no really? Duhh…

45. 45. Moey | August 15th, 2008 at 3:01 pm

    LOL. some people think it applies.

46. 46. sleepingowl | August 17th, 2008 at 11:49 am

    Do you hire relatives? I mean, if I have a sibling/ cousin there, can I be hired?

47. 47. Mark | August 17th, 2008 at 11:58 am

    Depends if you will be working in the same department or not.

48. 48. sleepingowl | August 17th, 2008 at 12:11 pm

    I’m guessing not. It would be the same department.

49. 49. Mark | August 17th, 2008 at 12:18 pm

    Who are you related to? Email me

50. 50. Cut the Crab | August 21st, 2008 at 6:14 pm

    I have some passes for you, Mark : know of this bird working for the Sun Tabloid in UK who would be a perfect fit for this job. Incidentally, I am on the look out for a sous chef at my new restaurant - L’intifaa’da - French cuisine with an Arabic twist, opening shortly near Dhaifa village.

51. 51. Sahira | August 24th, 2008 at 9:37 am

    Hi Mark,
    I was wondering if you have any positions available for fresh graduates. I am interested in getting my foot in advertising, and was hoping to be able to apply to JWT.
    Thanks,
    Sahira
