The Google Deception
Rocky Agrawal has pointed out something very astute in a post from five days ago on Venture Beat: Google’s method for calculating the number of registrants and users of its social networking service Google+ is severely flawed. For instance, it can’t and shouldn’t count as registration for Google+ if you’re forced to do so while [...]

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 [...]
Olpers Dua Effect
Olper’s FaceBook page gave consumers an opportunity to share their prayers (Duas) this Ramzan that evoked a sense of patriotism and brought Pakistanis together showing us as one nation when we need each other most. It is during this time of hardship that the flood victims need their fellow citizens more than anyone else around [...]
Nudity in Advertisements
One of the marketing concepts taught to us last semester included not to have promotions based on nudity or that indicative of any traces of racism. Nude advertisements sound weird and people would wonder about how an advertisement can be nude, however, the example given by our teacher was quite self explanatory, it was Magnum’s [...]

Pepsi – Badal Dou Zamana – T20 Video
I’d like to thank one of my readers FK, who contributed this video to PMB. Pepsi’s Badal Dou Zamana campaign is all about individuals making an effort to change everything for the betterment. With words like JOSH, JAZBA, JUNOON and OMEED, Pepsi is highlighting and trying to revive the lost efforts that Pakistani’s were known [...]
OWSUM’s Awesome Advertisement and Other Stories . . .
Should Owsum be with an ‘O’ or with an ‘A’? This is a debatable topic discussed in the last episode, well . . . the last post. In my recent advertising class we were to bring in print advertisements and analyze them, however, a girl in my class had forgotten to bring one so I [...]

Pepsi – Badal Do Zamana – Thematic [2010]
Pepsi has finally made an excellent comeback with an amazing ad featuring Aisam-ul-Haq (Tennis Star), Mohammad Amir (Young Cricketer) and Call the Band (Xulfi and Junaid). After a couple of years of experimenting with directions this new commercial is bang on target with young stars displaying their determination and how they achieved their current status [...]
Mc-Donald’s New Jingle Based TVC 11-12-44-622!!
Just checked out the new TVC by Mcdonald’s featuring Junaid and Xulfi from the Call Band. The ad is trying to build up on the delivery service by McDonald’s with a catchy jingle. This looks like an attempt to build the recall of their delivery number 11-12-44-622 .. interestingly enough I have seen the commercial [...]

Pepsico has now entered the energy drinks market by launching ” Sting” in Pakistan recently. The media break is pretty much visible with good frequency on selected TV channels.

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 [...]

Anti-Smoking Campaign [Video]
I still can’t understand why people smoke cigarettes. I have never tried one in my life and it never fascinates me. Some people told me that it relieves stress, but even being under tremendous stress I still can’t relate myself grabbing a pack of cigarettes and lighting them up to relieve mental stress. I am [...]

Pagal Khane Ka Doctor [Video]
I have not really known much about Zia Mohiyuddin, but his old audio and video clips have recently been shared a lot on social networks like Facebook. Check out the following video, which is actually an audio excerpt from one of his shows. It was hilarious and I couldn’t resist sharing it.
Karachi Fashion Week – 2010
I visited the 2nd day of Karachi Fashion Week 2010 yesterday at the Pearl Continental Hotel. The event was hyped up with glamour as expected with noticeable media personalities and models roaming around in the lounge area before the show. The part that killed my excitement level was the LONG waiting time, as being a [...]
Coke Happiness – Viral Video
I’ve heard marketers talking about finding ideas for viral marketing, but its not always so easy to come up with that killer idea. I was browsing through Youtube a couple of days back when the following Coke video caught my attention. Coke talks about spreading happiness in their communication and thats what they are trying [...]
Jingle Based Advertising! Does It Work?
As consumers, we always tend to recall the sing along advertisements more as opposed to the other ones. This is an art that some advertisers have pulled of extremely well, where as the rest have failed miserably with their attempts. I personally feel and have experienced that jingle based advertisements are more likely to cling [...]
Pepsi World
It’s been a while once again, since I wrote anything here…though I did read many posts that other writers have contributed. I was just going through some sites for my research and in the process also came across this website created by Pepsi Cola. http://www.pepsiworldpk.com I am glad that at least there is a local [...]
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 [...]

Sprite-Aquafina Slam
The Sprite ad, which has been on air for sometime now has received lots of applause from all ends with special praise for the song and splash effect. I believe the commercial has also received some award. All in all a great execution that reaches out to the youth in a perfect way. [...]
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 [...]
50:50 – Comedy at its Best
How many people remember 50:50? Or rather how many do NOT remember 50:50? It was one of the best skit shows of the 1980′s that used to come on PTV. And could very easily be considered the best of all Pakistani softwares. It was comedy at its best. From movies to cricket to social scenarios being publicised in the program. Shoaib [...]
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 [...]
