Nadra upping Its Branding Game


So it was last week when my husband decided to change the address on  his National  Identity Card as he had some other official work to be dealt with which required this procedure. Deep in my heart I was dreading this entire episode as I knew how a day at the Nadra office was never less than a nightmare the wrath of which I as wife had to face later....little did I know that things had changed at our very own laggard brand Nadra...

We visited the branch located in the Blue Area District of the Federal Capital Islamabad...I was first taken aback by the news that now Nadra never sleeps...(eheh...can be the new tagline)..its ready to serve you 24x7!!!  (I couldn't believe  my ears when my husband broke this news to me,...but well i was still quite doubtful of the claims that Nadra makes and decided to believe the opposite...)

I kept whining as to how our trip will be put to waste visiting the office at 5...(come to think of it the people who didn't work during normal working hours..how can they be working beyond them!!)...but here comes the surprise...I opened the door to the this granite laden building and was welcomed by a gush of cool air conditioned breeze and whiff of the perfect warm vanilla air freshener...

I had still not recovered from this warm welcome when i saw how aesthetically the entire floor had been decorated. The florescent green sofas stood out among the white cubicles and the sleek silver Macintoshs' that were buzzing with activity. It took us a matter of 5 minutes after which we were taken to one..yes just ONE ...cubicle...and all our details and signature and photo ids were taken there and then..no need of  shuffling from one cubicle to another...the staff was friendly and helpful through out and aced their jobs...


We received our new card exactly within  the stated time period and well..I fell in love with my nation all over again...when we want we can do things the right way...I am not aware of who has steered Nadra towards this change..but who ever it is...he/she has made a remarkable change a change that deserves a huge round of standing ovation!!..

GSK making waves with Physiogel...

GlaxoSmith Kline has been operating in Pakistan  since quite sometime now and have always adopted a very low keyed marketing strategy as far as mass marketing techniques are concerned.This all, however has dramatically changed with the launch of Physiogel-A hypoallergenic range of skin products. I am yet to use the product but its marketing efforts really make it sound promising. The use of celebrity endorsers such as Ayesha Khan and heavy media coverage on online and offline marketing channels stand unparalleled. It was also new for any brand to bring forth the team behind the product as we saw  the brand manager,Aiza Sumsum come up on all launch events and was talking about the product as it was her own baby..and sure it was !!...Cheers for the physiogel team...may this be the start of carefully crafted and engineered beauty products putting and end to the harmful locally manufactured beauty creams that our youth sometimes opt for.

Sana,the new savior for Olpers....

The very sight of Sana Bucha advocating Olpers for being as pure as milk makes me gag at times. When the advert hit the TV screens initially it seemed to me like an honest move towards re building consumer trust towards the tetra packed milk products. It also made a lot of sense to get a strong personality like Sana to advocate the brand and refute all the claims made against it. However, slowly and gradually the entire campaign seemed to fall down on its knees as it looked as if the brand was unable to draw a line between making consumers to trust their favorite milk brand again and begging them to pay it the much needed heed, Telling the consumers that Olpers can stay good  for upto 3 months as it goes through some super sci fi UHT process and then the very next second covering this whole sci fi gibberish up by saying that it does rot like our good old cow milk...Oxymoronic much! Even in this age and time...some advertisers believe that the consumer will be sawyed by ou...
