Background
The World Health Organization has stated that washing your hands could slow the pandemic by up to 24%. They recommend that people wash their hands with soap and water for 20 to 30 seconds. However, research has found that people fail to wash their hands effectively 97% of the time – unknowingly leaving them at risk of infection.
Idea
‘30-Second Soap’ was a self-timing soap designed to completely dissolve after 30 seconds of vigorous use, the ideal time to make your hands clean and safe. A simple to use, one-wash soap that took the guesswork out of how long you should wash your hands.
Working with Deliveroo, the food delivery company with the UAE’s largest fleet of delivery drivers, Lush distributed 30-Second Soap for free across Dubai, while also making it available on their website.

Our Thoughts
Creativity is the fine art of solving problems. Now that agencies have been detached from thinking it is the singular artform of the thirty-second video they are beginning to get closer what it actually is. Fadi Yaish is someone we’ve followed closely at Directory over the years. Passionate, humble, a dreamer with his feet on the ground, he has founded an agency that sets out to solve problems. Like this.
