Johnson & Johnson’s new initiative
Have you seen the absolutely adorable, heart warming and thoughtful new initiative by Johnson & Johnson? The video, which is a part of their online campaign, is now live, and the idea behind it is to connect expats in the UAE with their families abroad. The brand will be distributing digital photo frames, where photos can be uploaded on it through an app. The frames will be given to grandparents and parents, and the children will have an app where they will be able to update their loved ones with the latest pictures from their day-to-day life. You can check out the video by searching for ‘The grandparents frame by Johnson’s baby’ on YouTube.
