Capital Hills · OOH Mega Campaign ft. Karim Afify

⁦في كل حته⁩ — taken literally, at scale, across Egypt

Project Overview

A campaign named ⁦في كل حته في مصر⁩ — In Every Place in Egypt — carries a geographic promise. The Capital Hills OOH Mega Campaign made that promise physical: a large-format outdoor rollout placing Karim Afify’s four personas across Egyptian roads, highways, and city centres, turning the TVC campaign’s characters into unavoidable public presences from Cairo to the New Capital corridor and beyond.

Strike Media led the production of all visual assets for the OOH campaign — adapting the four persona TVCs into billboard-grade creative that retained the warmth and wit of the screen versions while operating at the scale and instant legibility that outdoor advertising demands. Each persona received its own distinct outdoor execution, ensuring that the full character range of the campaign was visible in the public realm simultaneously.

The OOH rollout transformed a television campaign into a national brand moment: Karim Afify as Teta Zozo, the Doctor, the Couple, and the Engineer, appearing together across Egypt’s landscape, making the claim that Capital Hills is everywhere because its buyers are everywhere.

/ Objectives

  • National Presence: Extend Capital Hills’ brand visibility from television screens into the physical environment — giving the ⁦في كل حته في مصر⁩ campaign a literal as well as figurative all-Egypt footprint.

  • Persona Amplification: Translate Karim Afify’s four characters from 50–60-second narrative arcs into single-frame outdoor executions that communicate each persona’s identity and the brand’s promise in one look.

  • High-Frequency Awareness: Place Capital Hills in the daily commute and travel experience of Egyptians across target geographies, building brand recall through consistent physical exposure rather than scheduled broadcast.

  • Campaign Unification: Deploy all four personas simultaneously in outdoor, signalling the campaign’s scale and coherence — a developer confident enough to run a four-character creative system across the country at once.

/ Challenges

  • Screen-to-Outdoor Translation: Comedy and character work at narrative length. Compressing Afify’s four personas into billboard-legible single frames — without losing their wit or warmth — required a design approach that preserved the campaign’s emotional register at zero seconds of viewing time.

  • Multi-Format Production at Scale: A mega OOH campaign requires dozens of size and format variants — from highway bulletins to street-level formats — each requiring individual production attention to maintain visual integrity across the full range.

  • Visual Consistency Across Personas: Four distinct characters had to read as part of one campaign at a glance. The design system Strike Media built for the OOH assets had to hold the campaign’s identity while giving each persona enough visual differentiation to own its placement.

/ Final Outcome

  • The Capital Hills OOH Mega Campaign gave the ⁦في كل حته في مصر⁩ series a physical scale that matched the ambition of its name, establishing Capital Hills as the dominant visual presence in Egypt’s real-estate outdoor landscape during the campaign period.

    • Geographic Coverage: Karim Afify’s personas appeared across Cairo, the New Capital corridor, and key Egyptian city centres simultaneously — the campaign’s title claim made tangible in the physical environment.

    • Brand Recall: The combination of TVC familiarity and constant outdoor exposure produced compounding brand recall: audiences who had seen the spots on television recognised the characters instantly in the outdoor environment, reinforcing both the campaign and the developer.

    • Market Dominance Signal: The scale of the OOH rollout communicated Capital Hills’ confidence and resource commitment to the market — a developer that goes this wide is a developer that intends to stay.
