Ooredoo Joins Global “Official Apology Statements” Trend

Ooredoo Maldives has officially joined the global viral trend of light-hearted “Official Apology Statements,” becoming the first local brand to take part in the social media movement that has been capturing audiences worldwide.

The trend, which humorously mimics the style of formal corporate apologies, has been used by brands across the globe to creatively engage their communities. Ooredoo Maldives embraced the format to address the overwhelming response to this year’s Ooredoo Fun Run, after Fun Run Kits sold out faster than anticipated.

In its playful apology statement, Ooredoo thanked customers for their enthusiasm while acknowledging the inconvenience faced by those who were unable to secure their kits before registration closed. The post quickly gained traction online and sparked positive conversations among Fun Run fans across the Maldives.

“The love for Ooredoo Fun Run this year has been incredible. The apology trend gave us a fun, relatable way to communicate with our community while keeping the excitement alive. We’re thrilled to see the reaction and even more excited to give customers another chance through our upcoming flash sale.” Hussain Niyaz, Chief Commercial Officer, Ooredoo Maldives. 

The brand also announced that, due to popular demand, a Flash Sale for Fun Run Kits opened yesterday at 2:00 PM, available exclusively via the fun run website until stocks run out.

The Ooredoo Fun Run continues to be one of the most anticipated community events of the year, featuring foam parties, color throws, inflatables, and festive activities that bring families and friends together for the happiest 5K in the Maldives.

Ooredoo Maldives’ participation in the “Official Apology Statement” trend reflects the company’s commitment to creative digital engagement, community connection, and building a fun, open, and playful brand presence online.
