The challenge

Jenan is a local brand facing multinationals with far bigger TV budgets in Ramadan, the month when food brands fight hardest for attention.

The idea

Blink built on Jenan's line 'Food Made Good' by casting the actor, known for villain roles in more than 70 films, as a host who works hard in the kitchen so his guests enjoy their iftar, or else. The films ran on social media in 90, 60 and 30-second cuts and were placed in the ad breaks of Ramadan series, some of which featured Rayahneh in his usual roles.
