The challenge

Saudi Arabia's new Commercial Register Law was announced in September 2024 and took effect on 3 April 2025. One of the major changes, the ministry's spokesperson said according to Arab News, was the abolition of subsidiary registers, making a single commercial register sufficient. The award entry sums up the old way as 'Stress. Clutter. Confusion.'

The idea

The film follows Khaled, 'an overwhelmed branch manager buried under scattered licenses, multiple expiration dates, and endless paperwork', whose day comes together when the new law arrives: 'a single, centralized register that replaces complexity with clarity'. It moves from chaos to control with expressive transitions, layered sound and light-filled sets, around the line 'You don't need ten systems for ten locations. Just one.' The ministry published it on YouTube as 'مهما تنوعت أنشطتك التجارية.. #سجلك_واحد لكل أعمالك' (however varied your business activities, one register for all your businesses), the same words it posted on X on 17 September 2024 as the law was issued (Sayidaty). MUSE credits Clarity as the creative agency and Souhail Saddiah as director; 35MM Media Production entered it.
