The local Ramadan ad on top was released a couple of days ago, while the Egyptian Chipsy commercials below were released back in January. Notice any similarities?
Not only are the ideas very similar, but most of the shots are practically identical down to the props (check orange juice in the pics below). I wouldn’t be surprised if Alameed Coffee pull their commercial and then have a nice chat with their agency about this.

nice chat indeed 😉
The original ads are so technically superior, everything from the lighting to the art direction. Can’t believe the agency thought no one would notice.
Really? I think both the ads look very tacky and studio-y
what the… !
Can anyone enlighten me on why the lighting and editing style on most Kuwaiti commercials are almost always the same?
because most of them are done by the same people, there are only 3~5 major production houses, with 2 of them accounting for 60% of the ads you see during ramadan
plus they are mostly got their education from the same schools and instructors and using the same equipment and technology!
Exactly lol! So they all got the same style
Ooredoo did it first:
