Mastercard and OSN+ break the rules of traditional retail advertising with Amazon Ads
Neither brand, Mastercard nor OSN+, sells any physical products through Amazon, yet both orchestrated compelling campaigns that turned Amazon's touchpoints into their playground and helped them reach and engage new audiences in MENA. Their success stories reveal how Amazon's first-party signals and insights combined with their creative canvas solutions are redefining what's possible in advertising, whether you're selling travel experiences or streaming dragons. Mastercard, a global brand synonymous with delivering priceless experiences, set out to engage travellers during the summer holiday period. Their objectives were clear: drive top-of-mind awareness ahead of holiday planning, boost consideration for Mastercard's travel experiences, and deepen the brand's lifestyle appeal. Mastercard launched a two-phase campaign across key locales in the Middle East, that turned Amazon into a destination for travel inspiration. In Phase One, a summer-long custom landing page on showcased culinary and travel offers, supported by a full-funnel campaign that included Amazon DSP and a Homepage Hero Takeover that drove high visibility whenever shoppers landed on Phase Two kicked off with an interactive, gamified product selector on Mastercard's custom landing page, recommending Parisian culinary experiences. Though Mastercard doesn't sell physical products on Amazon, the team innovated by adapting Amazon's native product selector to link potential travellers directly to Mastercard's website. This seamless journey, from discovery on Amazon to purchase on Mastercard's website, allowed new and returning users to explore and book experiences. Click here to discover the full campaign results. When OSN+, a streaming service in the MENA region, set out to launch the second season of HBO's House of the Dragon (HOTD), it wanted something that went above and beyond a typical media plan. Before the series premiered, OSN+ and Amazon Ads orchestrated a series of teasers designed to stoke anticipation. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, over 350,000 specially designed Amazon delivery boxes were produced, with the aim of transforming routine deliveries into delightful doorstep moments. Each box bore striking imagery from HOTD and included a QR code that drove customers to the OSN+ Brand Store on Wondering what the custom Amazon boxes looked like? Click here to find out. Moreover, OSN+ transformed into an immersive House of the Dragon battlefield, where visitors chose between Team Black and Team Green through an interactive Brand Store experience allowing fans to explore exclusive trailers and character histories through a tailored experience that revealed the secrets and rivalries of their chosen house. This dual-path content journey helped visitors delve deeper into each house's story, further increasing engagement on the page while creating a natural journey to the OSN+ website, where viewers could subscribe to watch the new season of HOTD. During the launch day, the campaign utilised the homepage takeover, draping the website in black or green, piquing curiosity among Amazon shoppers who might not have been die-hard fans of the show, and tapped into Twitch, with a hero headline on the service's homepage and a First Impression Takeover, where viewers would see an OSN+ pop-up during their first Twitch broadcast of the day.

Review: The Spa at Mandarin Oriental
Step inside one of Dubai's most refined spa spaces Some days, the only thing that makes sense is checking out – of your inbox and your brain when it's running like a browser with 37 tabs open. This is your permission slip to opt out – for your mind, body, and that part of you that needs a break from everything. And when you're ready to fully unplug, enter The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Jumeirah – spacious, quiet, and designed with pure stillness, like a full-on reset button. A welcome that sets the tone View this post on Instagram A post shared by What's On Dubai (@whatsondubai) Walking into The Spa feels like entering another frequency – the air is scented beautifully, the music is mellow, the voices are low, and the lighting is dim. You instantly feel like you've stepped off the grid and into this sacred, silent zone that makes scrolling your phone feel… inappropriate. What's inside Everything in the design is elegant, with minimal yet warm interiors and a flow that invites you to fully let go, in a space that spans over 2,000 square metres. Just off the entrance, there's a small boutique with a curated edit of womenswear, fragrances and skincare – well-chosen pieces that match the vibe of the space. The facilities alone could fill your entire spa day: there's a Vitality Pool, a deeply detoxifying Steam Room and Sauna, and a Relaxation Lounge with tepidarium chairs. There's also a dedicated Hammam suite, nine treatment rooms (including two for couples), and even a VIP suite for when you want to go all out. The treatments If you're here to release the tension, the Blissful Marma Massage (60 min, Dhs750) is a solid go-to. It's all about aligning the body's energy points using Marma therapy and chakra balancing. It's the kind of massage that leaves you feeling physically lighter and mentally clearer. For skin that's looking dull or tired, the Bio Lift & Bio Light Facial (90 min, Dhs1,250) uses microcurrent tech to lift and tone, while LED therapy tackles pigmentation and boosts collagen. It's one of those results-driven facials where you actually leave with a visible glow. The spa also offers advanced and holistic facials, skin-boosting shots, and several signature therapies tailored to your specific needs on the day. You'll also find other types of massages and skincare treatments to choose from, along with dedicated services for hair, nails, and skin health – all handled with the same care and attention to detail the Mandarin Oriental is known for. The robe moment Post-treatment is where the magic unfolds. The relaxation lounge is a beautifully designed, dimly lit, whisper-quiet, tea-sipping space with private cocoon chairs to keep you in the zone. Herbal tea, light snacks, ambient music – it's the ultimate soft landing. Verdict If your idea of wellness means quiet luxury, The Spa at Mandarin Oriental is a space that's been carefully considered from start to finish. The energy, the design, the service, the treatments – they're all in sync. If you've been thinking about taking a break, cancelling your plans without feeling bad about it – this is the place to do it.
