Ramadan is a time of connection, reflection, and celebration with loved ones. This year, AliveNow, a leading global creative tech studio, partnered with Centrepoint to design an engaging and culturally resonant digital experience for their Ramadan of Radiance campaign. Using the power of Snapchat’s augmented reality platform, we created a playful and interactive Snapchat AR lens that celebrates togetherness during this special season.
Campaign Overview: Engaging Community Through Festive AR
The campaign focused on delivering an AR lens that invited users to share the joy of Ramadan with their Snapchat friends by:
- Dragging and dropping Bitmoji friends: Users could move their Snapchat Bitmoji friends into various festive categories, creating personalized and shareable moments.
- Emphasizing celebration and unity: The lens showcased the spirit of Ramadan by encouraging users to connect and make memories within their circle.
- Easy accessibility: Available directly on Snapchat, the lens required no downloads or complex activations.
This experience was designed to blend traditional values with modern technology seamlessly, fostering emotional connection during the holy month.
AliveNow’s Role: Designing Cultural Connection Through Creative Tech
Leveraging our expertise in AR and immersive tech, AliveNow developed this Snapchat Lens to:
- Create a culturally relevant and interactive experience that resonates with the target audience.
- Encourage extended user engagement via playful interaction with friends’ Bitmojis.
- Provide a smooth, intuitive interface accessible to all Snapchat users.
- Amplify Centrepoint’s brand message of celebration, love, and togetherness during Ramadan.
Our creative tech approach ensures that marketing campaigns go beyond visibility to foster genuine emotional engagement.
