Germax Trading wanted a viral video to bolster brand recognition and spark conversation among Iranian audiences in the UAE.
Approach
Conceived a unique concept of showcasing a nostalgic Iranian Peykan in modern Dubai—an eye-catching paradox designed to captivate viewers.
Brought a Peykan to Dubai for the first time, filming a cinematic commercial over 4 days, featuring the iconic car driving around the city’s futuristic streets.
Results
The video amassed 14 million views on the client’s page.
Prominent news outlets, including Manoto and Radio Farda, shared it on Instagram, accruing an additional 8 million and 4 million views respectively.
The Peykan-in-Dubai trend inspired other businesses (e.g., Sib and Rivas restaurants) to replicate the idea—though none matched the impact of the original, underscoring the value of high-quality, cinematic storytelling.
