Hey Man.

Facto ME’s self-funded UAE campaign uses filmed phone calls to encourage men to check in on friends and family, and make time for an honest answer.

The challenge

Facto ME wanted to encourage men who keep personal struggles to themselves to reach out. Its November initiative needed a simple action viewers could repeat in their own relationships.

The idea

The phone call becomes the creative: men call someone close to them, ask how they are doing and express their support. Filmed with consent in a vertical format, the conversations feature participants speaking different languages. Facto ME developed and edited the campaign, which launched on Instagram and LinkedIn with partner-supported wellbeing activities. The agency told Campaign Middle East that the initial run spans 1–30 November 2026.
