أمورك طيبة… بخطوة بسيطةPeace of mind. One simple step.

UAEICP / UAE · Creative task · August 2026

A campaign concept developed independently as a creative task for UAEICP in August 2026 encouraging residents to check their residency and Emirates ID records through the UAEICP app. Concept, strategy, Arabic copy, storyboards, visual direction, content planning and measurement framework developed by Ahmed Alkarim.

01 / Challenge

Make residency and Emirates ID awareness clear, approachable and actionable. The creative task addresses a communication challenge: important information can feel intimidating, while advice from friends and social media can create uncertainty.

02 / Insight & idea

“أمورك طيبة… بخطوة بسيطة” — things are in good shape, with one simple step. The concept replaces fear-led messaging with reassurance and a practical habit: check your records through the official app. The film routes explore everyday checking, conflicting advice from friends and unreliable social content.

03 / My role

I developed the entire creative task: the campaign concept and rationale, audience and channel strategy, Arabic messaging and scripts, storyboard treatments, visual direction, a seven-day content plan, engagement and community-response ideas, and the proposed measurement framework.

Route 01 / 30–40 seconds

Everyday reassurance

خطوة بسيطة تطمّنك

A resident makes checking their records a small part of an ordinary day. A timely action becomes a moment of reassurance.

01 An everyday moment
02 Open the official app
03 Check residency & Emirates ID records
04 A reminder to act in time
05 Clarity and reassurance
06 Campaign end card
Route 02 / 35–40 seconds

Advice from friends

لا تسمع كل شيء… تأكد بنفسك

Conflicting advice among friends creates uncertainty. The resident checks the official source, then returns with clarity.

01 A conversation with friends
02 Conflicting advice
03 Uncertainty takes hold
04 Choose to check for yourself
05 Open the official app
06 Return with reliable information

Route 03 / 35–40 seconds

Social misinformation

لا تصدق كل ما تشاهده… تحقق بنفسك

An unreliable social post turns a quiet moment into concern. Checking the app replaces uncertainty with information from its official source.

01 An ordinary scroll
02 An unreliable post
03 Concern and hesitation
04 Leave the feed, check the source
05 Review the official records
06 Reassurance, then back to the day

The task outlines roles for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts, adapting the message to residents, communities and employer audiences.

Measurement by intent

The proposed framework connects awareness and engagement with watch time, completion, saves, shares, link clicks and app actions where tracking is available. It also considers recurring questions and audience confusion. These are planned measures, not achieved results.
