The overweight morning talk show host for SAMAA TV is furious with her research team for failing to identify the goldmine story of frAndhsippers and stalkers. What is the even more unfortunate is now Telenor Talkshawk has beaten her to the aid of helpless women once victim to lewd calls and text messages by these [...]
Crowd Sourcing
The form of crowd sourcing that we are seeing in Pakistan is probably not as acute as in the international markets but rather an attempt to seek insight in to consumer minds, who through crowd sourcing strategies are becoming direct participants in driving the brand according to local preferences.
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 [...]

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

Telenor has always been one of the innovative companies, and [...]
Telenor Persona Weblounge: Convenience At Its Best!
Providing convenience to the end consumer has always been at the top of the priority list of today’s marketers. And this is mainly because we as consumers are more likely to try out new products and services that we find convenient. Talking on the lines of convenience, the most recent attempt by the marketing professionals [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Omore OMG! The Art of Happiness or Is It?
I’m sure most of you must have seen the Omore Ice Cream Ad by now. A friend of mine brought my attention to it while we were talking about random telecom crapiness so obviously Telenor’s Tom Thumb Ad was brought up and thats when he said “what’s up with that Omore ad?” and I quickly [...]
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 [...]
Djuice – It’s Fun To Be Lame?
“Jigar aaj raat ka kya plan hai…” Most might recognize this line from the recent Djuice commercial bring aired promoting their new SMS package. I don’t know who is coming up with these concepts for their commercials and which telenor representative is approving them for production but this is just ridiculous. The quality of their [...]
Dearth of Celebrities in Pakistan
Entertainment is what the majority seeks. And advertising in a way is serving the purpose of providing this entertainment to its viewers. Perhaps this is why the quality and concepts of the Pakistani advertising have taken a turn over the years. And thus it has become very entertainment centric. But one must not forget that the [...]
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 [...]
