Juhi Rupani said she did not expect positive reviews at a timultous scale.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. We are a boutique social media agency in Dubai and we’ve never, ever seen this kind of reaction to any of our content,” she said.
She added that her company explores trending topics for creating content.
“As a social media agency, we’re always thinking about what’s trending, and everyone is currently talking about Barbie. So we thought of doing something around an iconic product and putting her next to the most iconic landmark in Dubai,” she said.
She said the video was the organization’s most watched content.
