Amazon.ae Debuts “It’s On Amazon Prime” Campaign Videos
The promotional films were specifically developed for the UAE in conjunction with Saatchi & Saatchi Middle East.
Amazon.ae has rolled out its latest “It’s on Prime” platform and introduced a regional promotional campaign specifically targeting the UAE. The campaign was developed by Saatchi & Saatchi Middle East (ME) and consists of three new promo films and a range of social media ads, highlighting the variety of ways an Amazon Prime membership can make customers’ lives easier.
The films use a storytelling formula to promote benefits such as Free delivery, Amazon Fresh, and Prime Video, and feature a diverse collection of customers facing everyday challenges that can be solved by Amazon Prime.
Bruno Barbosa, Senior Creative Director for Saatchi & Saatchi ME, noted: “The biggest challenge was to find relevant and fresh insights that relate to the melting pot of nationalities across the UAE and craft stories that showcase all the benefits the brand has to offer without compromising on smooth and lighthearted storytelling”.
The first film shows a young woman moving out of her parents’ home. While the mother finds new ways to reach out as she misses her daughter, the young woman discovers a flair for cooking using Amazon Fresh and surprises her with a home-cooked dish.
In the second film, we see the day-to-day life of a couple with busy schedules and watch them find ways to connect. Amazon services help them buy items to make mornings easier, share home-cooked meals, and enjoy time watching their favorite shows.
The third film depicts the life of a family with a newborn baby. Amazon’s fast and free shipping helps them find simple ways to care for their baby while helping their eldest son connect with his younger brother.

Amazon’s Head of Marketing for the Middle East and North Africa, Moemen Elhamalawy, said: “We are incredibly proud to share this regional installment of the campaign with our customers in the UAE. The campaign is about sharing the various ways members can make the most of their Prime membership [and] we are proud to have collaborated with the Saatchi & Saatchi team to bring this vision to life.”

AltoVolo Opens Orders For Limited Edition Sigma eVTOLs
Early buyers can now reserve build slots for AltoVolo’s 500-mile hybrid aircraft through a new online configurator.
AltoVolo has started taking pre-orders for its first electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, the Sigma, moving the startup closer to commercial rollout. Customers can now secure a build slot with a £860 deposit and customize every detail online — from paintwork to seatbelt stitching. It’s the first configurator of its kind for a civilian eVTOL, mirroring how luxury car brands let clients tailor performance models before production.
The Sigma runs on a hybrid-electric tilting jet system built for long range and low noise. It can travel up to 500 miles at a 220-mph cruise, and is over 80% quieter than a helicopter. The three-seater weighs just 980kg and can maintain stable flight even if one jet fails. Safety systems include triple-redundant controls, thrust-vectoring stability and a ballistic parachute.
“We will be delivering an ultra-refined hybrid electric aircraft,” said founder and CEO Will Wood. “We believe there are thousands of customers for this type of cutting-edge technology”.
The first 100 units will come with exclusive materials and finishes. AltoVolo is also setting up a global service and maintenance network, with early planning for overhaul schedules already underway. The company’s focus on ownership experience echoes its ambition to anchor itself alongside established aviation brands rather than pure tech ventures.
To help new owners train, the company has built a full-scale simulator that replicates the Sigma cockpit in carbon fiber and leather. Pilots can log time toward a license using the system, aligned with the new US MOSAIC rules that ease certification for powered-lift aircraft. Certification work in Europe and the UK continues in parallel, signaling growing international alignment around light sport and eVTOL regulation.

Noise inside the cabin has become another design focus. Engineers are refining internal vibration levels and developing a responsive soundscape that shifts with each jet’s power load — part feedback, part theatre.
Urban air mobility projects across the Gulf and elsewhere are pushing regulators and manufacturers to meet in the middle. Dubai, Riyadh and Doha have each outlined plans for air taxi corridors this decade. AltoVolo’s hybrid Sigma, sitting between electric promise and aviation realism, looks built for that middle ground.
