\u201cTwitter is what\u2019s happening and what people are talking about right now. At a time of introspection, such as Ramadan, people take to the platform to discuss the topics that have influenced and impacted their lives and thinking. With a purpose to serve the public conversation, this year we aimed to amplify those conversations in a unique format for Twitter, elevating our strength in fostering open conversation, connecting people and bringing them together through the unique format of Spaces,\u201d said Kinda Ibrahim, Twitter\u2019s Director of Media Partnerships, MEA & Turkey.<\/p>\n
The campaign ended with a unique creation from musician Bandar Mohammad @blvxb inspired by reflections from the campaign.<\/p>\n
