Brands and Their Middle East Accounts

BMW @BMW BMW Middle East @BMWMiddleEast Cisco @Cisco Cisco Middle East @ciscomiddleeast Bethesda @bethesda Bethesda Middle East @bethesda_me bp @bp_plc bp Middle East @bp_MiddleEast VISA Love uplifts everyone, everywhere. MEET VISA. A NETWORK WORKING FOR EVERYONE. Visa @Visa Visa Middle East @Visamiddleeast

A collage compares the official social media profiles of BMW, Cisco, Bethesda, bp, and Visa with their Middle East versions. The joke is that the regional accounts have completely different branding, banners, or imagery, creating an absurd contrast between ordinary corporate profiles and their Middle East counterparts. It is shared as a reaction to regional branding differences and unexpectedly dramatic corporate social media aesthetics.
