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 our miss know it all and some techincal lingo..is nothing but plain ignorance. Revamp your game brand Olpers!.

Pakistan, on a Silver Platter....

The other day I was teaching my brand management students a chapter on cultural marketing when suddenly the image of a Chinese clad in a traditional duppata, serving a local delicacy popped in my head. I had questions..I wanted answers and that was when I asked my youth what they make out of this change in our marketing dynamics. I am a big fan of the finger licking good masalas that Shan makes..no doubt they are the best in the business...however, this time Shan left a bad after taste in my mouth when I saw their latest advert depicting us Pakistanis welcoming our neighbors with arms wide open. Yes, we are very hospitable at heart. Yes, we love food. Yes,we make one feel at home...but we should make sure that our Home..stays Ours....and we remain the Hosts...hospitable, yet wise. CPEC has brought forward a wide array of drawing room discussions in my country. While my students believe this to be the way forward, their naive minds are blinded by the superficial success that ...

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 durin...

Projection Mapping, the next big thing

So the first time that I encountered video projection was in late the December of 2013 when I attended the New years celebrations  in London. I was taken  a back by the power that these visuals carried and had mesmerized the crowd for the night....strong animations coupled with bombastic music just made the experience unforgettable. Memories of London revived when I witnessed the launch ceremony of Samsung S8 at Lahore's iconic Shahi Qila and LuckyOne Mall's grand affair of opening the 3rd largest mall in Asia. The man behind it all Mr Umar Toor of 3Di group made this all possible in Pakistan. The finesse with which these two launches had been integrated and promoted through projection mapping definitely deserves a big round of applause. Like London's iconic Big Ben, 3Di group strategically chose Shahi Qila for the launch ceremony of Samsung S8. The historic building in itself is a puts one in awe and vivid visuals added to the beauty of the place like never bef...
