Except for the fact that this a gore treatment, it has the same message (Talking while driving), same product (Telecom), same category (Print)
Maybe they missed it since it’s in a different country, but the wataniya campaign just won at MENA Cristal!!!!

I agree with Gibbo.
I think it’s a pretty basic idea but very graphically executed.
It really catches my attention and I like the line “the person you….”

Looks like the person being contacted was shot in the head while on the phone in the car park…. ‘Murder She Called’.

In the second visual the blood splatter on the top of the curb looks like an arterial spurt which would make sense if the phone was cut with a knife and not a car accident (the horizontal blood lines).
The blood stains underneath that though corresponds with a medium velocity impact resulting from a blow or a force which makes more sense.
