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 [...]
Breaking the Blackberry Stereotype
Certain telecoms from Pakistan and India have taken a brave step and tried to familiarize a product with the masses which was known only to niches. Blackberry had an image of seriousness, decency and class but in order to chalk up the revenues for their company the strategy has now been changed and the product [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 & Zong Cold War Continues
So just when we thought Ufone had a brilliant reply to Zong’s network campaign, Zong came up with a response, which too is a viral one. Just saw it on you tube and sharing it with people here. Have a look at it…and let us know what do you think of this? From the [...]
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 [...]
The Significant “Smack That” – Ufone/Zong
“Mera number hai *yada yada yada* and mera network hai Zong, Kyun ke Zong deta hai mujhey blah blah blah.” This has been going on over and over again since a couple of weeks now and I must say it is not appealing for me at least. When it comes to the percussive marketing tactics [...]
Enough or Not Enough…? That is the question
Looking at our daily lives, we see people striving day and night for success, money, fame / recognition, innovation, ideologies etc basically going after every have-able thing there is but how the attitude is shifted after the attainment of those goals remains a mystery. Human Psychology proves how the importance falls of something that you [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Ufone Spampaign: Spamming The Pakistani Blogosphere!
I don’t know what is wrong with the Telecom Sector in Pakistan? In order to try and get hold of social media, they have been trying everything possible left, right and centre! Although, some of them have been trying their best to understand the mechanics of social media, the rest continue to be shameless to [...]
