Daily News Egypt examined data on the least viewed advertisements in the first 15 days of the holy month, according to E3langi.

Despite the creativity of Carrier and Nescafe’s advertisement campaigns this season, they have been the least viewed on Facebook, with 2.3 million and 1.8 million viewers respectively.
Carrier’s advertisement last year has been viewed 4 million times.

On YouTube, the El Garhy Steel released an advertisement which was described as the most creative this year. However, it was viewed by only 400,000 users. EG Bank also missed the mark this season compared to last Ramadan.
