See Beyond The Hijab
P&G Rejoice (Southeast Asia)

P&G in SEA had a unique challenge. Rejoice, their highest selling shampoo brand wanted to start a conversation with Gen Z, but anything to do with hair could not be breached in a market where most of the audience are hijabis. 

So we turned to the brands core message - 'effortless self-expression' and saw it through the lens of a young hijabi in 2021. Self-expression to her is stickers, gifs, and of course emojis. But when we scoured the internet we found that even a cat has 9 diffferent expressions, while there's only one hijab emoji. 

The idea was get the world to see hijabis as individuals and not as a stereotype, and we did that by adding more alphabets to the internet's favourite language of self-expression - EMOJIS. 


 

WE STARTED WITH A FILM AND A PETITION TO UNICODE CONSORTIUM

BUT INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THE WORLD TO ACKNOWLEDGE US WE TOOK IT UPON US TO CREATE ENDLESS HIJABI  EMOJIS AND MADE THEM AVAILABLE ON INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK, FOR YOUNG HIJABIS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES..
