BBC Asian Network has initiated a unique social media campaign titled ‘Ramadan in a day’ to capture the spirit of Ramazan. The event will archive direct conversation with Muslims online from sunrise to sunset.
Creative lead for Digital Guerrilas, Stefan Shaw, partnered with the BBC Asian Network and BBC Religion and Ethics to work on the live social broadcast idea. "The aim is to create a meaningful online event that will use a mix of pre-created, and reactive ‘on the day’ content, to drive and curate social media conversation around Ramazan. This will help us capture and archive the day, and also inspire a wider awareness of what Ramadan means to young Muslims in 2015.”
“Social media can be great for curating and reflecting a ‘moment’. We were really hoping to create a ‘moment’ around Ramazan,” he went on to add.
