Nickelodeon is presenting its ’Extraordinary Me’ campaign in the UAE, a live-action interstitial series highlighting kids who are inspired by what they love doing and what they do extraordinarily successfully.
Nine-year-old Lamia, an Emirati rhythmic gymnast, and DJ Michelle, a professional female DJ, are included as the two talents coming from the UAE with inspiring life stories. The pieces will go live from Friday, 27 November 2020 on Nickelodeon, exclusively available on OSN across the Middle East. The series will also be available on the Nickelodeon website (http://en.nickelodeonarabia.com/), and on Nickelodeon Arabia’s YouTube channel. Shortly, the clips will be available on me.nickelodeon.tv, too.
With the objective to support and promote young talent, the Nickelodeon international campaign sheds a light on youngsters’ extraordinary passions, as well as their determination to pursue their goals. The series will kick-off with a two-minute video of the local girls, where they introduce themselves while addressing the audience and inviting them for a ‘behind the scenes’ tour of the shoot and set.
