A new Guinness World Record. ✅ In a live demonstration of pure network muscle crafted by TBWA\Raad, telecoms service provider du has claimed a new Guinness World Record for the longest promoted TikTok livestream. Over 30 hours of nonstop, on-the-move broadcasting powered solely by du’s 5G network. Thousands of viewers tuned in, commenting in real time as the phone - and the network - powered across the Emirates. CEO Reda Raad said of the achievement: “This brand experience is the disruptive creative demo we needed, shifting du from telling people how great the network is to showing them instead. ‘Story doing’ at full throttle - no scripts, no safety nets - just a brave, public test of speed and reach. “Disruption is about actions that rewrite the rules, and nothing rewrites them like a live, nation-wide stress test that ends in a Guinness title.” Read more via LBBonline - Little Black Book: https://lnkd.in/eewygXZ5

In Thailand, alcohol advertising is banned - making it nearly impossible for new brands like Silver Wolf to break through. 🥃 So the team at TBWA\Thailand \ JUICE found a smarter way in. They turned a live football match into a hidden advertisement - without breaking a single rule. ⚽ Instead of sidestepping the ban, they leaned into it. Players were renamed with whiskey-inspired taste notes like “Smooth,” “Sweet,” and “Oaky.” As commentators called out the players’ names during the match, they were also describing Silver Wolf’s product, seamlessly integrating brand messaging into the game itself. They proved that even the toughest restrictions can fuel breakthrough creativity. They couldn’t change the law. So they changed the game. #TheDisruptionCompany #CannesLions2025
