Basking in the stoic beauty of a besieged city, I behold Beirut, beset for centuries by Caliphs & Crusaders, a crossroads for traders, a sublime coastline & layered state of mind where cultures combine & blend, where faiths intertwine & languages bend, out where the Mediterranean ultimately ends... Amidst crescents & crosses, I placate my bosses by typing their screeds, catering to my company's every need, while staring west past the waters as the sunset recedes...

"A Bet for A National Conscience" - Farid Chehab & LB/Lebanon
This campaign was initiated by LB/Beirut's honorary chairman, the inimitable Farid Chehab, who I will spend some time writing about later. He's largely retired now, after a long and illustrious career at the helm of LB/Beirut, but he's still a force to be reckoned with and an unforgettable encounter on many, many levels. In the short time since he's retired from advertising, he's written a compelling book, and used it as a springboard to launch a national conversation about how Lebanon can create the kind of economy where everyone benefits from the country's natural resources. Pretty amazing idea and initiative. It makes me proud to be a part of a company that has people and ideas of this caliber within its ranks.
