The secret ingredient to success? Trust.
From the very first conversation, this partnership with SAUDI AIRLINES was built on belief: in the brand, in the ambition, and in the power of an idea to solve a real human problem.
As Luc Speisser, Global Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, puts it, when asked “How are we going to do this?” the answer was an honest: “I have no idea, but we will do it.”
That kind of honesty and trust, paired with Essam Akhonbay, VP Marketing, Saudia Airlines, and his clear vision for what Saudia’s promise, “Welcome to Our Future,” could really mean, is what made The Coolest Ihram possible.
Proud of this collaboration – and proud to see work from the Middle East recognised among the very best in the world.
