Branded entertainment is allowed in Lebanon, several TV shows such as The Voice foster people participation.

While there are some restrictions on user content on TV, i.e. religious censorship, there are no legal restrictions to content communicated online.

We created a Socialmedia Activation, at the image of the campaign and brand, allowing for people to submit their messages of hope, as well as view a repository of messages that were turned into art pieces alongside the online movie. The Activation aggregated the #KeepWalkingLebanon statements of hope from Instagram and Twitter messages. The selected messages were transformed into art pieces and we notified the authors online in real time over a full month. The pieces were formatted for users to proudly use them as branding on the various social channels further exposing the statements of hope to larger audiences.
