Doha: Starlink Qatar, part of the Ooredoo Group of companies established back in 2006 and the first retailer for mobile and accessories, hosted the Apple Keynote Speech releasing the new iPhone 12 models — the most awaited technology event of the year at Katara.
The event, which could be viewed as one of the first events since the COVID-19 lockdown, featured a drive through experience: persons in the event were encouraged to remain in their cars as live cultural music and lights shows filled the air and food trucks availed to serve their needs with Exit 55, Karak and Chapati, and Partner Specialty Coffee CAF Café amongst others.
“We were very happy to host the event for Starlink, Starlink is a well-known Qatari brand that is becoming part of our culture and we are looking forward for future collaborations with them in the future,” said Maryam Al Saad, Head of Marketing at Katara
Audiences became especially aware of Starlink’s killer trade-in offers (trade in your old phone for the new iPhone and only pay the difference) and got the chance to register their interest for future updates and notifications. Live iPad magic show performances from World Wide Wonders as well as a live performance from Shireen Abu Saad, Season 1 “The Voice Kids” graced the large screen visible to all who attended.
Featuring popular personalities like Abdullah Al Ghafri, Hussain Al Sada and Essa Jamali who pushed the excitement of the event to higher levels with their creative videography and interactive competitions.
Participants answered Apple Trivia Questions to win the latest Apple Watch Series 6, iPad 10.2 inch 8th Generation and the ultimate prize – the first iPhone 12 to be received by Starlink Qatar for the winner.
“I was very happy when Starlink asked me to be the host of the event, it was really fun, specially that I am a big fan of Apple products. We had a great opportunity to interact with the audience as close as we can get while maintaining social distancing rules, I am looking forward to more events with Starlink,” said Al Ghafri.
