Advertising agency TBWA\Raad leveraged the former popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge to advertise Connect Internet in Lebanon. The “Ice Bucket Challenge — Lebanon” campaign does a great job at capturing the absurdity of a slow internet connection.
According to an agency rep, the campaign used “unscripted characters from remote areas in Lebanon” for the spots.
