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 [...]

Happy ‘Not So’ Valentine’s Day

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 and [...]

Cadbury Dairy Milk - Animation [Video]

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.

Brand Façade (Yes! We can’t)

Brand Façade (Yes! We can’t)

Intertwined as it may seem a brand can be given maximum leverage if the nuances of a brand and human psychology are on the same wavelength. Taking into account our social behavior and the moral values or the lack thereof which we practice/preach the brands need to cash in on the constantly changing human behavior.

Brand Personification

Brand Personification

Brand personification is a concept which is rather new in our market as the rate of oblivion is surprising when especially you try to do some research on this topic.

Dairy Milk TV Ad (2009)

Dairy Milk TV Ad (2009)

I just saw the Cadbury Dairy Milk Ad for 2009. The ad is again based on youngsters with the brand positioning towards the teenagers and not directly towards the kids audience. This was an intelligent move by Cadbury for Dairy Milk, as initially they used to target the kids and adult audiences separately with entirely [...]

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 [...]
