Spotify highlights data challenges in Egypt in latest campaign
For many people in Egypt, music is part of the daily routine – whether you're on the move, waiting your turn, or trying to tune out the noise. But when mobile data runs low, even listening to your favourite songs can feel like a trade-off. Spotify has introduced a data saver feature designed to reduce data usage by up to 90 per cent while listening to music. To inform users about this option, Spotify ran a campaign in Egypt with the message: keep your music, save your data. 'Mobile data is expensive, and for many users, that makes streaming music feel like a luxury. Our goal was to challenge that perception by spotlighting a feature designed to break that barrier,' says Umar Achraf, Spotify's Marketing Manager – Egypt. He adds, 'This campaign aimed to raise awareness around the feature – making music streaming easier, more convenient, and always within reach.' Everyday moments, familiar feelings The campaign centres on everyday moments that many people will find familiar – when your data is running out and suddenly everything around you feels louder, busier, and more distracting. These scenes are brought to life through two locally inspired TVCs. The six-week nationwide campaign features a 360° media rollout across Egypt, including TV commercials with local relevance, billboards lining Cairo's busiest streets, metro station takeovers, Spotify-branded buses, radio, digital, and social media amplification to reach users wherever they are. 'From billboards and buses to in-app integrations, this was a truly 360° campaign designed to meet people wherever they are,' says Achraf. Beyond the TVCs, the campaign extended across social media, radio, out-of-home, and influencer activations. It featured local artists and curated playlists, all designed to show how music streaming fits seamlessly into people's daily routines even when data is limited but the need for good music isn't. 'We teamed up with 13 TikTok creators who brought humour, energy, and relatability. From skits about running out of data to creative challenges, their content made Data Saver feel like a must-have, not just a feature,' says Umar Achraf, Spotify's Marketing Manager – Egypt. In both scenarios, the listener enjoying music gets a data usage warning, and finds themselves overwhelmed by their surroundings. Using they data saver feature, they are able to resume listening to music – bringing a bit of calm back. By meeting people in the moments that matter, the data saver feature supports the demand for accessible music. The campaign results will be measured using a mix of brand and product performance indicators, including growth in Monthly Active Users (MAUs), improvements in top-of-mind awareness and consideration, and video completion rates on key social platforms.

Princess Charlotte's Big Sister Moments Go Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Princess Charlotte acting like a royal boss with her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis went viral on TikTok. The 10-year-old has carved out a formidable reputation as the unofficial royal "boss" during high-profile royal events where the cameras were watching the Wales family's every move. Prince George is the direct heir to the throne, destined to one day be king, but a fan of Charlotte compiled moments when she showed just how much of a support she can be.

Prince Louis, right, and Princess Charlotte alongside Prince George on Christmas Day at Sandringham, England, on December 25, 2022. Samir Hussein/WireImage The Context The video was liked 35,500 times and viewed 299,000 times having been posted with the on screen caption: "Although Charlotte is not the eldest ... she is definitely the authority in the Wales family. "Whenever the three children appear, it's clear that Prince George and Prince Louis both value Charlotte's opinion." What To Know The clip includes pictures of Prince Louis gazing up adoringly at his older sister during a walkabout at the royal family's Christmas Day walk to church in 2022. A later clip showed her telling Louis when to stop waving during the carriage procession at Trooping the Colour, in June that same year. The young prince was enthusiastically greeting royal fans at the start Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations when Charlotte reached over to pull his hand down. And she stepped in again days later when Louis appeared to be biting his nails as they watched the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, which sought to tell the story of he late monarch's reign using artists, dancers and performers. Louis had been in a restless mood, though melted hearts all the same, while Charlotte felt the need to introduce some etiquette as the pair sat one row in front of then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. And at Trooping the Colour in 2024, Charlotte nudged Prince Louis to remind him to stand up straight as they watched a fly-past by the Royal Air Force from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. It is not just Louis, however, as the edit ends with a moment in which Charlotte appeared to make her feelings known to George during a moment away from the service for Elizabeth's funeral in September 2022. Charlotte's natural leadership has left many comparing her to Elizabeth, her great, grand mother. While George may one day wear the crown, it seems he—and the rest of the Wales household—will always have Charlotte to help keep things running smoothly. What People Are Saying One fan replied: "She hasn't been doing it as much because she knows she needs to let Prince George take the spotlight after his father."
