TIGER – Nike’s “Dark Knight”
There will be a lot of people staking their claims about knowing a lot when it comes to brand endorsements. Even though everyone has a right to be a self proclaimed “endorsement guru”, but I personally believe that the whole Tiger Woods episode would have left even the so called marketing “maharishis” baffled and scratching [...]

Happy ‘Not So’ Valentine’s Day
Yes it’s that time of the year when love is in the air (kind of), When local based condom brands start offering a premium to their faithful, When hotels/motels/rest houses/flowers/bouquets go over board and overpriced. Are we thinking on the same lines?? I guess we are. Culture serves as a best reflection to a nation [...]

Cadbury Dairy Milk – Animation [Video]
Yet another effort by Cadbury Dairy Milk to build a campaign around happy occasions in Pakistan, and this time its an animation. I personally feel that this animation is a lot better than Cadbury Dairy Milk’s TVC that went on this year. It is a cute animation with a well connected purple theme that represents Dairy [...]

IPL (Indian Prejudice League)
Yet again all my hue and cry has fallen on deaf ears has failed to wake up the authors who think they’re some kind of revolutionists. We are too busy monitoring marketing and advertising campaigns and miss out on the big ASS events. Recently the Indo Pak peace process (I seriously doubt a thing like [...]
Sex & Violence! Does It Really Sell?
We live in the 21st century and things are quite different from when our parents were our age. The cultural norms have changed over time to suit the need for change and have moved into a new realm all together. Ask anyone and they`ll tell you that sex and violence sells but does it really? [...]

The Day When Maxcom Went Against Books… Attention Maxcom Users!
It started as a happy Saturday. . . the day with no classes to attend this semester for the first time in Szabist. I started of with an assignment that needed nine references which means nine books and yes Google happens to be the best friend when it comes to skimming through relevant books or [...]
BodyGuard – Lest We Forget :D
Forget what you have been fed these few days and let me take you on a trip in my time machine… Now that I have been trying to find a job (with little success)… I haven’t had the time to make my usual postings and after the rebranding of the PakMediaBlog, I was looking for something [...]
Wonders of Bad Publicity
We’ve seen or heard about a lot of bad publicity of many brands every now and then. Sometimes it becomes responsible for the decline of some of the biggest brands, but we have also seen brands grow because of their negative publicity, somewhat like politicians and a few celebrities. How many people remember the incident [...]
Revamped: ARY Digital Network – Aik Naya Ehsaas!
ARY Digital was one of the initial Pakistani channels launched on satellite and the group has added more channels, based on the market demand, to their portfolio as the time passed by. I had been in the media industry myself since the past couple of years and I had been thinking about the idea of [...]
Viral Marketing – ACHOO!!! Excuse Me!
Bless you! Viral marketing simply putting it is word of mouth advertising, because it has the characteristic of spreading like a flu virus. This is why it is called viral marketing. For some reason I felt the need to sneeze in the title of this post, but it in no way reflects my health; well maybe [...]

After much hype spanning over a good decade, people meters finally arrived in Pakistan in September 2007. The media planner, who was earlier surviving on a mere mental recall of who watched what & when, can now fuel their media plans with real time TV ratings. And what a fuel it is! Real time provision [...]
ZIP & ZAP: Channel Switching in Today’s Era
Variety is the spice of life…I have heard this one a zillion times. Not many years ago there was hardly any variety and viewers had no choice but to watch one channel, which was PTV. There was nothing else to do but to watch the programs on it and then watch the 9 pm khabarnama. [...]
Omore’ Files
Everybody has already talked about it. But as the wise men once taught us that everything should be in writing so just for the record would write some stuff and save it on this media blog. Engro Foods has been known for its advertising ever since it launched Olper’s. Followed by Tarang and Olwell. All three [...]
Ufone – Flashback
There are very few local ads that leave their mark on the mind of the viewer instantly. Not that there aren’t good ads being made but for how long does one recall them is still quite unpredictable. Some very nicely made ads also lose their charm after being watched twice or thrice. And some can even become annoying as they keep popping up on [...]
Pepsi Max Relaunch – 2009
The summer season has hit and with it starts the season of the carbonated soft drinks (CSDs). And so their advertising takes a front seat. It is not easy to avoid the cola ads once the season is on no matter how strongly the telecoms are advertising with their monstrous budgets. But the real power [...]
Lays – 100% Halal
As I had been doing the media planning for Pepsi Foods for a couple of years, I remember that just before resigning some negative hype was being created by Royal News against Lays. The channel kept on claiming that Lays is not Halal to grab some attention from all ends, which it did but for [...]
