The ad, titled 'The Bread Exam,' by Spinneys and McCann Paris in 2022, creatively raises awareness about breast cancer in Lebanon by using a traditional bread-making process as a metaphor for self-examination. It highlights cultural taboos that prevent open discussion on women's health. Middle-aged women, dressed in traditional clothing, demonstrate how kneading dough can mimic the gestures needed for a breast self-exam. The emotional dialogue showcases Lebanian women expressing their fears and societal barriers around the topic. The ad emphasizes empathy and community, using familiar cultural practices as tools for education and empowerment. The campaign went viral, reaching international media, and gained praise from the Lebanese President.
