Bridgestone, a leading multinational auto and truck parts manufacturer, is celebrating the Holy Month of Ramadan with a campaign that highlights resilience of the human spirit. The campaign, which has been developed to embody the company’s vision to ‘Keep going no matter what’ and recognize the journey of people and their perseverance amidst challenges and not be deterred to move forward. During the month, the company will highlight the stories of various inspiring individuals who despite fasting during this Holy Month of Ramadan, have managed to continue with their work–headstrong and helped be one of the backbones of the economy.
According to the company’s senior executives, the campaign is focused on telling the stories of everyday people who fast during Ramadan but do not slow down–hardworking and inspiring individuals that serve as the backbone of the community. These workers could be anyone–teachers, architects, doctors, nurses, armed forces, crane operators, delivery workers, carpenters, etc.
Selected individuals will be asked, ‘What keeps you going?’ and they can share their story with Bridgestone, along with a specially designed photograph of them. The company invites the public to nominate anyone whom they know whose life story can be an example and inspire people for the impact they have made to another person’s life or to the community in general.
