Raising Cane's celebrates speed with humour-filled digital shorts
Titled Chicken Fingers in a Snap, the campaign plays up what the brand calls its defining trait: food that's faster than a first date, a selfie session or even figuring out where to sit. Built around a trio of short digital films, the campaign keeps the premise simple and the execution tight, using humour and visual interruption to drive home the message.
Each film captures a familiar moment – a drive-through selfie, the beginning of a first date between a couple, a group walking to their table – only to be disrupted by a buzzer signalling that the food is ready. The service is so quick, the story cuts off before it even begins.
One spot takes a slightly cinematic turn, layering cowboy-esque duel music under a walk-up to the table – only for the music to be cut off with the unmistakable ring of a completed order. The stylised build-up gently nods to Raising Cane's Texas heritage, though never explicitly letting the music and pacing do the work.
Another film riffs on Gen Z selfie culture: the food photobombs the shot before the phone camera can even focus.
A third opens with an awkward first date with the couple still trying to figure out how to initiate their conversation when their food arrives.
The overall visual tone is kept simple and local, with recognisably set in Middle East styles and characters. The humour is played straight, leaving room for viewers to connect the dots.
The campaign's concept and execution were led by Amber Communications, who brought fast-paced humour and subtle cultural referencing to the fore. Speaking about the creative approach, Shynil Hashim, Brand Services Director at Amber Communications, said, 'Using fast-paced editing, pop-culture nods, and internet-native language, the campaign was our way of highlighting how Cane's speed steals the show, and your attention, just as quickly as your food arrives.'
Sayari Ghosh, Director of Marketing at Raising Cane's, added: 'This campaign speaks directly to our core audience – fast lives, fast content, fast but quality chicken cravings. 'Chicken Fingers in a Snap' isn't just a line – it's a promise.'
The brand shared that the campaign has been well received, with its speed-focused message resonating with audiences across the region.

Oasis, Adolescence: How the UK finally got cool again
Helen Coffey, The Independent If you're Gen Z or younger, you probably can't remember the last time the UK was cool. It was before your time, I'm afraid – a Nineties heyday embodied by Britpop bands such as Oasis and Blur, Richard Curtis romcoms, YBAs (Young British Artists) headed up by Damien Hirst and his provocative animals in formaldehyde, and Tony Blair's Labour Party finally booting the Tories out of power in 1997 after an 18-year stronghold. It marked a period of genuine optimism — a feeling epitomised by sexy smackhead Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) 'choosing life' at the end of Danny Boyle's Nineties masterpiece, Trainspotting – when British fashion, music and culture were the envy of all. A time when the country felt progressive, thriving and relevant. A time when, in fact, one might feel the tiniest bit justified in being 'proud to be British'. Ginger Spice was even able to wear a union jack mini-dress to the 1997 Brit Awards without the merest hint that she was making some kind of anti-immigration political statement. That same year, Katrina and the Waves won the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of the United Kingdom with their uplifting ballad 'Love Shine a Light'. Since that golden era of Cool Britannia petered out, we've been sorely lacking in the trendy department. The Tories wrested power back from Labour again in 2010, introduced the chokehold of austerity, and clung on for the next 14 years. The flame of excitement prompted by the success of the 2012 London Olympics was comprehensively doused by the damp squib that was the Brexit referendum — and ensuing economic downturn — in 2016. Our street cred was further dented by dodgy Covid contracts and a succession of cringe-making leaders who ran the gamut from robotic to corrupt. Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak: it's practically a four-way tie in the 'which of our prime ministers was the most embarrassing' race to the bottom. No, for a nigh-on a quarter of a century, 'cool' was not a word one could feasibly use to describe the British Isles – not without a knowing flicker of irony, at any rate. But now, all of a sudden, we might just be on the cusp of Cool Britannia Mark II. Now, for the first time in decades, might it be — whisper it — cool to be British again? Of course, the country has long continued to hold a certain charm for anglophiles the world over, but it was previously always our past, rather than our present, that captivated foreigners. Jane Austen adaptations of varying quality may have flown off the shelves; Downton Abbey may have garnered such global popularity that endless series continued to be made, regardless of the increasing 'jump the shark' implausibility that the Crawley family were barely ageing through the decades. But modern Britain, with its deflated economy and mortifying politicians, its littering and its rioting and its binge drinking, was an understandably unappealing prospect for all but the country's staunchest defenders. People wanted the Britain of bonnets and smouldering heroes in the mould of Pride and Prejudice's Mr Darcy or a topless Aidan Turner as Poldark. They did not want the Britain of The Only Way Is Essex. Yet it seems the tide might finally have turned. The signs that the UK's cultural cachet was about to experience an unexpected surge were already there, of course. No, Keir Starmer's thrashing of the Tories last year was far from the jubilant landslide of Labour in the late Nineties, but it at least represented some kind of hope after years in exile for those on the Left. The official trend and soundtrack for that summer – Brat summer – was orchestrated by unabashedly hip British musician Charli XCX, whose album emboldened a generation of young people to sack off curating a perfect Insta grid and stay out raving all night in yesterday's makeup. Even Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris got in on the action after Charli declared 'kamala IS brat' on social media. Now, 2025 seems to be the year when everything has coalesced – and people are once again loving the UK for her grittiness, rather than her prettiness. The Gallagher brothers, pivotal in Cool Britannia's previous iteration, have kick-started a frenzy of Britpop nostalgia single-handed with their reunion tour. Guy Ritchie's latest gangster series, MobLand, with its hard-as-nails London crime scene juxtaposed by picturesque Cotswolds manor houses, was an instant success for Paramount. Adolescence, a dark mini-series set in Yorkshire about a 13-year-old boy who murders a classmate after becoming radicalised online, is Netflix's most-watched show of the year and its second most-watched English-language series of all time. The show's standout performances earned Emmy nominations for Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty and Ashley Walters, as well as 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who made history by becoming the youngest ever nominee in the limited series supporting actor category. And then there are the celebrity endorsements that keep rolling in. 'Everything here is just better,' comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres recently said of the UK after moving here with wife Portia de Rossi following Donald Trump's re-election. 'The way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.'

From screen to cause
When we consider the major forces shaping young minds, entertainment stands alongside education and family. For children, animated stories and characters aren't just enjoyable – they are influential. They become trusted companions, emotional reflections, and even early guides to understanding how the world works. And in a world where the climate crisis is no longer a distant threat but a daily reality, kids' entertainment now has a powerful new role: not just to entertain, but to empower. Climate action can seem daunting, even for adults. However, children bring a unique lens to the table, one filled with curiosity, hope and a refreshing sense of fairness. They want to help. The challenge isn't motivation; it's connection. How do we speak to them in ways that are culturally relevant, emotionally resonant, and age-appropriate? At first glance, climate consciousness might seem like a heavy theme for children's media. But when woven into storytelling with creativity and care, it becomes one of the most powerful tools we have and not only for building values but for building trust. And that trust is where brand value begins. Why this cause matters to brands Millennial and Gen Z parents are increasingly value-driven, and they expect the same from the brands they welcome into their homes. According to Nielsen, 73 per cent of global millennials are willing to pay more for sustainable products, and 81 per cent expect companies to make meaningful environmental improvements. When their children engage with content that promotes sustainability and responsibility, this engagement reflects on the brands that choose to show up in that space. Children's attention spans may be short, but their memories are long In kids' media, the opportunity is unique: content is often co-viewed, discussed at dinner tables and translates into real-world behaviour. Brands that place themselves thoughtfully in this environment aren't just buying impressions, they're becoming part of meaningful family dialogue. Climate-conscious programming doesn't just align with a cause, it delivers cultural relevance, emotional depth and long-term loyalty. What climate-conscious content offers When a major entertainment network partners with an environmental group, the result isn't just awareness – it's action. Think: Water Week, social media challenges and storylines that blend fun with real-world impact. These aren't just campaigns – they're invitations for kids to get involved. We have brought climate subjects into storylines in ways that feel playful, accessible and empowering, turning climate awareness into something tangible, repeatable and positive. Whether it's e-waste awareness with Envision Racing in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region or tree planting with the Emirates Environmental Group in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, these collaborations highlight how storytelling can make sustainability feel exciting and achievable. With more than 16.1 million digital impressions, results show that we were able to use familiar faces to deliver important messages. And for brands that align with content promoting meaningful action? They're remembered not just for their products but for what they stand for. How the cause builds long-term brand equity (or playground creds) Children's attention spans may be short, but their memories are long. The associations they form now, between characters they love, and the values they absorb, will shape how they see the world and the brands in it for years to come. Generation Alpha is already showing signs of being ethically motivated. Brands that engage them early through value-driven media are investing in long-term relevance. And parents are paying attention, scrutinising where and how their children engage with media. What is this show teaching my kid? What does this brand believe in? Supporting climate-conscious content is one of the clearest signals a brand can send that it understands the bigger picture and respects its audience's values. The message is clear: from cartoons to causes, entertainment is evolving. And the brands that evolve with it – those that choose to empower, not just to entertain – will be the ones that build trust, loyalty and lasting value. Because in the end, children don't just watch what we show them. They learn from it. And brands that choose to be part of that learning journey? They're the ones that stay with them.

Decoding 'Saiyaara' effect: Why Gen-Z is loving this Bollywood film
In an era dominated by OTT and streaming — where the urgency of going to the cinema has all but faded — thousands flocked to theatres, caught in the hype of what can only be described as the ' Saiyaara effect'. Suddenly, that communal magic long lost to our pocket-sized screens feels alive again. And it isn't driven solely by spectacle. Unlike the action-packed blockbusters that have recently dominated the box office — full of hypermasculine heroes smashing buildings and 'bad guys' — Saiyaara offers something starkly different: a return to stories of love, loss, and longing. In many ways, marking the revival of simple romantic stories with layered emotions, music that tugs at the soul, and performances that feel honest. If you listed these ingredients back in the early 2000s, you'd be describing a Bollywood staple. But in 2025, it somehow felt like we were asking for too much. Enter Saiyaara: a film that, at its core, remains a timeless tale of heartbreak — carried by young, beating hearts — but without ever trying to brand itself as a 'Gen-Z romance'. It doesn't promise a 'new-age' love story, but instead offers an age-old one, simply told through the emotional lens of a generation that's never truly found itself in stories of love and heartbreak. This generation never had its DDLJ, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Veer Zaara. O r even its Aashiqui. Sure, we can go back and watch those classics with all the fondness in the world, but they'll always be from a time before ours — experienced as borrowed nostalgia. Then came Saiyaara, offering not a replication of those romances, which have been tried, tested, and failed, but an echo of the emotions we once felt when Raj rallied for Simran in DDLJ, or when Aman let go of Naina in Kal Ho Naa Ho, all set in a world that feels our own. A new love language for an evergreen emotion Off-late, we've seen a whole crop of films and shows trying to capture Gen-Z romance — Naadaniyaan, Loveyapa, Feels Like Ishq, Ishq Vishk Rebound, and many other names that I cannot even frankly begin to remember without a strenuous Google search. While many of these try to package youth through aesthetics, quirky meet-cutes, and Gen-Z slang, they rarely scratch beneath the surface. Love, in these stories, is more a 'vibe' than a feeling. Something that happens on dating apps and in DMs, but not in flesh and bone… the butterflies of a first meeting or the punch in the gut after a breakup. They explore the beginning of love, but rarely its heartbreak — and even more rarely, the weight of when the heart breaks. Which is where Saiyaara flips the script. It gets real with you. The reality of falling in love is hardly ever like the movies — and Gen-Z, being emotionally and intellectually clued in, has figured that out. You can't sway us with the La La Land version of romance because we won't buy it. But to assume this generation has given up on love entirely, even in the movies, is skipping a few too many steps ahead. Hence, when Saiyaara offers unabashed love on a platter, we're bound to lap it up. But more importantly, it serves love with a side of emotional realism, not fantasy. This isn't a fantastical tale of lovers overcoming external odds like in DDLJ, it's about young people struggling with their own inner demons: unspoken silences, fractured relationships, emotional pain. We see it in the way Vaani Batra (played by Aneet Padda) shuts down emotionally after being dumped on her wedding day, unable to even express her grief to herself, let alone her parents. We see it in Ahaan Panday's Krish Kapoor, who self-sabotages, lashes out, hurts the very people trying to love him. Their connection flickers in and out, with distance, and without, not because they're not invested, but because neither of them knows how to hold on to love while trying to heal themselves — an emotional conflict that defines much of the Gen-Z angst. Mental health isn't treated as a side plot. Vaani spirals into clinical depression following her traumatic breakup. In earlier generations, this might not have been seen as plausible, but for an audience that has grown up acknowledging and experiencing mental health struggles, it feels raw and real. Krish wrestles with grief and simmering rage rooted in parental trauma — a reality many of us will know intimately. Yet, Saiyaara never tries to educate us about mental health issues, it simply acknowledges its existence. Both Krish and Vaani allow us to sit with the mess, the breakdowns, the uncomfortable confusion and silences, in a way that feels familiar. The casting makes all the difference What most definitely adds to the film's impact is Ahaan Panday's dreamy debut, more impactful than anything we've seen in a long, long time. His honest eyes give this generation a humanised protagonist: someone flawed, bruised, but striving to evolve. From an emotionally unavailable 'red flag' with deep-rooted daddy issues to a man willing to sacrifice his rock-solid ego and identity for the woman he loves, Krish Kapoor hits that sweet spot between unhinged toxicity and performative wokeness. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ahaan Panday (@ahaanpandayy) 'The film is about falling in love for the first time. You can't show someone in their 30s or 40s or 50s falling in love for the first time because then that's a whole different film,' Suri said in an interview, which also stands as a critical point of resonance. In a cinematic landscape where older actors are routinely cast to play younger roles, Saiyaara's lead actors don't just look young, they are the generation they're representing on screen. They carry the emotional awkwardness and rawness of early adulthood. As Suri puts it, 'Whether it's through texts, letters, or DMs, your heart still breaks the same way. You can swipe as much as you want, left or right, but the heart stays in the same place, somewhere to the centre-left. And that's going to stay the same for generations to come.' That, ultimately, is what Saiyaara understands. And to anyone who thinks Gen-Z doesn't have the attention span beyond a viral audio track on Instagram Reels, well, perhaps it was because we've stopped finding melodies worth remembering. But Saiyaara 's album soothes like completing the lyrics of the song you'd forgotten to sing. It isn't perfect cinema. Nor does it reinvent the heartbreak genre. But as a cultural moment, it captures the yearning and the devastation of first love, at a time when Bollywood had forgotten how to do so, and in a way that also speaks directly to this generation.
