Small-tier carousel mock-ups: Do you need it or want it? What’s a need? What’s a want?

The brief

Under the UAE’s Consumer Protection Regulation, licensed banks have to keep raising financial awareness. FAB wanted more than compliance: an education series that builds real money confidence for young professionals, families, retirees and everyone in between.

The architecture

Twenty-eight topics, grouped into four themes that follow the money journey: from foundational awareness, to planning and managing, to understanding the system, to the less-talked-about side of money: debt, strain, red flags and recovery.

One piece a month keeps the rhythm, with bursts around the moments that matter: Fraud Prevention Month in March, Global Money Week, Financial Literacy Month in April, Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October.

Two tiers

Not every topic deserves a film crew. Small tier covers carousels, statics, Stories and “money myth” posts: quick to make, native to the feed. Medium tier covers filmed expert interviews, VO explainers with motion graphics, and real-life stories with expert commentary, for topics like Islamic finance or consumer rights that need nuance and credibility.

Built to adapt

Templates refine around what engages. Topics that outperform get a deeper push. Instagram Highlights and a YouTube playlist give the series a permanent home, and nothing is locked to a fixed post, so the plan can pivot with the moment.
