“Come As You Areâ€

Beirut’s location is and has always been a strategic position, linking the West to the East and vice versa. Hence, ideally, it portrays a bit of both worlds. Having a good reputation, Lebanon has been described as the center of creativity especially in advertising. But if we happen to have a look at our local magazines or our billboards all along the highway, we find that the number of good eye-catching campaigns is very low.

The girl looking very bad after the operation is in need of a place where she can go to as she is and hence: Crepaway.

It’s very interesting since...
