The Telecom Industry – Impact of Social Networking
There’s an entire generation paying tribute to social networking as a substitute to services offered by traditional Telco’s. Of course this means the business of telecom providers has changed and must evolve to remain relevant today, afloat tomorrow and alive in the coming years. For this very reason I was inspired to write “The Telco [...]
Ad Rant: Mobilink Jazz Thinks They Picked On Ufone!
You must have seen what Mobilink Jazz tried to do by jumping in the blame game when they released the following TVC featuring Azfar and Mani to pick on Ufone. Well I know I’m late in writing this rant that I should have published like ages ago, but my in-consistent blogging routines are to be [...]
Mobilink – Jazz Non-Stop Call Masti – Featuring Ali Zafar & Meesha Shafi
The last Jazz commercial featuring Ali Zafar and Meesha Shafi by the telecom giant Mobilink, was just a waste of production costs and artists in my opinion, as I don’t think it came out as it the brand team might have expected. Firstly the concept of the ad is just basic, although it does highlight [...]
Corporate Social Responsibility…Why the Cynicism?
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been the most fashionable term in Marketing for a few years. Everyone’s in on it, from company’s helping to enrich the lives of the less fortunate to the firms who are going green by switching to energy saving bulbs. Is it because these businesses feel that they have something to [...]
Zong Student Entrepreneur Program: Such A Disgrace!
I’ve been noticing this campaign by Zong since months now, but its the point now that I just can’t take it anymore. Have anyone of you heard about this Zong “Student Entrepreneur” Program. For those of you who don’t know, its a campaign by Zong to ask students to sell Zong connection and generate commissions [...]
Wake Up Marketers! Spamming is not Blogging!
So is there really a difference between blogging and spamming? Those of you who are familiar with the ‘internet’ jargons might understand each term separately and might also be able to differ between the two. Yes, I deliberately used the word ‘might’ because a lot of people still can’t figure out if they are really [...]
Ufone: A Satanic Organization – 666!
Yes I knew I’d intrigue you with the title of this post. In fact I actually wanted to do that because one thing caught my attention this very morning when one of my cousins jokingly said that Ufone is using the code “666″ which is the number of the Satan. And then another person present [...]
Aftar/Dinner by Weblounge – Telenor Connecting With Its Customers
As always, Telenor has taken another great step towards building up its strong relationship with its customers. In the holy month of Ramadan it was Telenor, which invited its Web-Lounge customers to an Aftar-Dinner in Pearl Continental Karachi on Monday the 14th of September 2009. Telenor has always been one of the innovative companies, and [...]
Telenor CSR Initiative – Khuddar Pakistan
We have been talking a lot about CSR recently, and the topic that I am writing about today is no different. We have seen a lot of companies moving towards CSR in the last few months, but the initiative that Telenor has taken recently is a great one in my opinion. With Khuddar Pakistan, Telenor [...]
Mobilink helps IDP’s
Charity starts at home, and people in Karachi are quite generous when it comes to giving support for earthquake victims or the IDP’s from the north. When the northern areas were hit by an earthquake, the contributions from the city of Karachi matched that of the government and that is a big deal. But it’s [...]
Brand Ambassadors – Loyalties Down the Drains
There is no denial that clever selection of brand ambassadors can really do wonders for some brands. For instance many people recall Abhishek Bachchan for Motorola and IDEA campaigns; Aamir Khan for Samsung and Coca Cola. Just like once upon a time, we associated Imran Khan with the classic Pepsi commercial. We keep [...]
Telecom Sector – You Can’t Have My Piece Of The Cake
Okay guys enough of the viral/verbal jibes between UFONE and ZONG. All of us have had fun watching them and its getting too heated for my liking. Leg pulling is a part of competition but I have a doubt whether trouser pulling is, since the war of ads demonstrate this quite explicitly. I don’t feel [...]
Ufone –Right In Your Face
Although I do feel PakMediaBlog has posted many articles on Ufone over the past weeks. Somehow their ad campaigns do become the talk of the town in one way or the other. Obviously, a couple of their ads are better than the rest. Now, recently they have made another concise ad after Zong [...]
Survival of the Fittest – Aur Sunao – Tum Hi Toh Ho – Its Fun To Be Young – Sab Kehdo
I have been a cell phone freak since I got my hands on my first ever cellphone (which is obviously not worth mentioning). The first ever mobile connection that I got was of Mobilink Jazz and what attracted me towards getting it was probably its catchy way of calling people towards it, lets just say [...]
