Explorers, travellers and wanderers are all invited to come to Dubai for a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Expo 2020 Dubai in the world fair's latest advertising campaign released in India and the UAE.
The ad brings together three creative superstars, with musical narration by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, concept and composition by acclaimed poet and writer Prasoon Joshi, who is also the CEO of McCann Worldgroup India, and music direction by musical maestro Shankar Mahadevan.
The trio are collaborating for the first time ever to drive awareness of the largest event held in the Arab world, currently running in the UAE until March 31.
The Expo 2020 campaign spotlights the array of varied experiences it has to offer, from projections on the Al Wasl dome, the largest 360-degree projection surface in the world, to its architecturally-stunning buildings - including 192 Country Pavilions - to thrilling performances on site every day.
Expo 2020 opened its doors on October 1, 2021, and has seen a staggering 8.9 million visits in its first three months. India has continued to represent a top international visitation market for the event.
Singer and composer Shankar Mahadevan said: “When we began working on this project, the biggest challenge was to be able to truly convey the essence of Expo 2020 Dubai. We wanted it to be purposeful, but also playful and fun, catering to people of all ages and interests.

"While many around the world continue to face challenges, people want to be able to feel part of a community, experience new things, learn and have fun, and Expo 2020 is the perfect place to do just that.”
Prasoon Joshi, chairman of McCann Worldgroup, Asia Pacific, and CEO & CCO of McCann Worldgroup, India, said: “This campaign is a manifestation of what Expo 2020 Dubai has nurtured and it’s rewarding to see it come to life. Working with Shri Amitabh Bachchan is always a learning experience, as he always brings new concepts to life and the collaboration with the great musician Shankar Mahadevan is always special. Together we have tried to give this campaign the edge it needs to instantly resonate with the audience.”
Innovation, imagination, exploration and celebration are just some of the words being used to help describe Expo 2020 Dubai in the latest ad campaign.
