Ghandhara Nissan to Start Local Assembling of JAC X200

Ghandhara Nissan has now received permission to locally assemble the JAC X200 one-ton commercial vehicle in collaboration with JAC Motors.

Initially, Ghandhara had imported 600 units of the commercial vehicles, the response was quite marvelous, which led Nissan to initiate local assembly.

JAC X200 comes equipped with a 2.8-liter diesel engine and is available for PKR 16.2 lac, which makes it nearly 2.3 lac cheaper than the newly launched Daehan Shehzore. It is also a rival to Suzuki as well.

How to Put a Dent in the Universe: Exclusive Interview With Mr. Ahmed Kapadia (Part I)

Below are the steps which are followed by those who have made a difference in this world. Any field, any era, any continent; the steps remain unchanged.

  1. Ask yourself, do I give a damn about anything?
  2. If the answer is yes, then proceed to step 3
  3. Observe constantly, see what’s there and what’s not there.
  4. Ask questions; ask the right questions. If no answers are given then find your own answers.
  5. Those answers might appear in the shape of ideas (Warning: Please don’t be scared of them).
  6. If you have found the courage to embrace those ideas, then comes the hardest part of making them happen.
  7. Be prepared to face ridicule, rejection and resentment.
  8. Ignore what happened to you in step 7 and keep at it.
  9. If you follow all these steps, then one day you will also be celebrating the 15-year anniversary of an idea like Synergyzer.
  10. If this is not for you then go back to step 1.

15 years ago, before Synergyzer’s typeface was set in ink, we followed the same steps and created Pakistan’s first magazine dedicated to advertising and marketing. More than 65 issues later, in a mood to reminisce and relearn the core lessons, we went back to our Editor-in-ChiefMr. Ahmed Kapadia aka AK, who is also the Founder and Managing Director of Synergy Group, to know his views on the performance of the industry.

Question: Where do you think the advertising industry in Pakistan has gone wrong in the last 30 years?

AK: The advertising industry has not evolved with changing times in the last three decades or so. I strongly believe that advertising and communications is a reflection of the nation. Unfortunately, there has not been a lot of positive development in the country, particularly with reference to industrial and economic growth. Hence the advertising industry has also shown a regressive trend and performed below par.

Question: How would you evaluate the role of the Advertising Association of Pakistan in the development and growth of the advertising industry?

AK: The success of any trade body depends on multiple factors. However, one of the core factors is dependent on the financial strength and unity of the Association. It is not any of the associations that make advertising agencies, but it’s the other way around. If the member agencies are willing to commit resources to the PAA and in turn demand development of the advertising agencies to align with systems and structures, then change is possible.

Instead, if our intent is only to have the PAA to show that we have a trade body and do not even understand its role then we can’t expect to get any benefits from it. The irony is that it is not rocket science, but more of learning from other countries with effective similar advertising associations. To me, it is the misaligned intentions of advertising agencies that is not strengthening the PAA. Unless we are committed to the cause of mutual benefit, we cannot make headway.

Question: Marketing personnel regularly complain that Pakistani advertising agencies are not creative. How would you respond to that?

AK: My answer to that is partially related to the compensation highlighted above. The other half relates to the fact that marketing and advertising are two sides of the same coin. What I mean from that is that they don’t exist independently and need each as partners. Unfortunately, the relationship is hardly ever seen by both sides as equals.

Marketing mostly believes that they are paying for the cost of advertising, therefore, they have the major stake in what is right or wrong. When they become the authority in the relationship, then there is no partnership. If marketers truly wish to enter into a partnership with the agency, then they should be willing to share rewards through increased compensation or bonuses when a campaign exceeds targets. I have never seen a client coming to me and saying here’s an additional Rs. 2 million for outstanding results from your creative campaign.

Question: Improvement is a result of deliberate effort in the right direction and not a coincidence. With this reality staring us in the face, how would you encourage advertising professionals to play an active role in developing talent?

AK: A society is made of people like you and me. No one has greater rights over the other if we truly believe in the rights given to us by the constitution of Pakistan. If we truly believe in this, then we must also believe that we need to give back something to the society. Some people do this through financial support or volunteering for a cause; as professionals we can contribute by sharing and learning. We have the platform of the PAA available to us. There are so many accomplished professionals in the industry, with tons of experience. We are powering the Cannes Lions’ See it, Be it platform for their first ever event in Pakistan along with other industry stakeholders. This is a program designed to accelerate the career of women in advertising by inspiring and mentoring them. Once again, we have the full support of PAA and PAS and we have included mentors and speakers of global repute. These are industry issues and until we tackle them holistically we will not be able to raise the bar for the whole industry.

Above is an extract from the article “HOW TO PUT A DENT IN THE UNIVERSE”, as originally published in Synergyzer 15-Year Annual Special (Issue 1 – 2018).

That first issue I received was an inspiration for me to join the team and so I did…

Google is Killing Its URL Shortener!

URL shorteners are quite common on the web as they allow an easy sharing of otherwise lengthy web addresses. In 2009, Google too launched its URL shortener  ‘goo.gl’ but now it seems like the tech giant is shutting it down like too many of its other iconic features.

Farwell Google URL Shortener

In a blog, Google’s Michael Hermanto declared that starting April 13, users who had never utilized  goo.gl before March 31 will not be able to generate new short links.

“To refocus our efforts, we’re turning down support for goo.gl over the coming weeks”

However, existing users will be able to use Google’s URL Shortener for a year before it will get completely shut down on March 30, 2019.

Welcoming Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL)

 

Googe is now moving towards smart links called FDL. An advanced and more secure form of linking, FDL will allow people to redirect to specific locations in iOS, Android or web apps.

Michael Hermanto revealed:

 “FDLs are smart URLs that allow you to send existing and potential users to any location within an iOS, Android or web app”

The link will be automatically tweaked depending on who the user is, where they link from, and what hardware they are using.

However, other alternatives like  Bitly or Ow.ly still can be used for link shortening.

Over past few years, Google has shut down other services like Google Reader and Picassa. What is next in line to be axed, let’s wait and watch.

Stay tuned to Brandsynario for more updates.

 

Nissan and Renault Might Merge to Establish a New Company!

As of now, according to a Bloomberg report, Renault currently owns 43% of Nissan while the Japanese carmaker has a 15% stake in its French counterpart.

A merger would also help the companies take on their rivals including Volkswagen AG and Toyota Motor Corp.

If the merger proves to be a success, Nissan will share its shareholder stocks with Renault in exchange for their holdings.

The automaker may maintain headquarters in both Japan and France, however more details about this are to come in the near-future.

On the other hand, Nissan and Renault might place their HQ in Japan or France, or maybe in both!

Fiza Ali’s Tribute to Noor Jehan Sparks Outrage From Fans!

Actress Fiza Ali might have had good intentions when she tried to pay a tribute to Madam Noor Jehan by dressing up like the Malika-e-Tarannum, but it all went terribly wrong when she appeared as the singing icon in Nida Yasir’s morning show “Good Morning Pakistan”.

The moment Nida Yasir, the host of the show, announced that the actress Fiza Ali will pay a tribute to Noor Jehan, NJ fans got excited but their expectations were shattered when Fiza Ali revealed her makeover.

The apparel of the actress, no doubt, was on point but her makeup and hairdo were horribly done which ruined her overall look.

The fans of Madam Noor Jehan think that the actress’s makeover did not do justice with the pride of Pakistan.

Look at what the internet has to say about her makeover.

The fans of Mallika-e-Tarannum also think that this is rather an insult to the legendary playback singer and actress.

This is not the first time that the host of morning shows in Pakistan are being bashed over their blunders. They really need to understand that creative ideas should be creative, not creepy. Legends like Madam Noor Jehan, Mehdi Hasan and Abdus Sattar Edhi should be off-limits for such tributes because their contribution has been immense and that their fans will feel disheartened if they are represented in the wrong way.

Did Fiza Ali do justice to the style of Noor Jehan or did she offend her fandom? Let us know in the comment section.

Atlas Honda Increases Prices for Bikes in Pakistan!

Well, it looks like cars are not the only transport mode which has witnesses a price increase for the second time in 2018! Atlas Honda has once again increased prices on their motorcycles.

The price increase lies from Rs500-3,000 depending on the model. Previously, the company had increased its prices by Rs-500-1,000 on their Honda CG-125, 100CC Pridor, and Honda CG-125 Deluxe.

Toyota Pakistan Hints Price Hike for Popular Models!

Previously, Suzuki, Toyota (Indus Motors), Honda and others have increased their prices for the second time this year.

Honda Pakistan Increases its Price-Tag, AGAIN!

Indus Motors Company’s Chief Executive Officer Ali Asghar Jamali, former Chairman of Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories manufacturers Aamir Allawal, attended a media workshop held at a local hotel in Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir.

At the meet, they informed all those who attended that that there are various factors that influence the rise of the price of their vehicles. This includes current trends, and high costs of materials used in the manufacturing of cars; especially steel, copper, and plastic.

“ALL OF THESE THINGS CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THE VALUE OF A MANUFACTURED CAR IN PAKISTAN. I ASSUME THAT TOYOTA COROLLA’S PRICE COULD SHOOT UP BY RS, 100,000,” JAMALI

“The auto industry, on average, creates one job for every Rs 150,000 invested in the manufacture and assembly of cars. On the import of 79,000 cars, it is estimated that about 184,300 local jobs are lost. About Rs.102 billion is transferred from Pakistan via Hawala and Hundi every year,” he claimed.

Other automakers have witnessed a price increase for mainly the same reason.

Eight Reasons Why Nokia 8 Might be your Next Phone!

The home of Nokia phones launched their flagship device of last year in Pakistan. We recently got the hold of it and did its technical review in an earlier post.

We are taking an extra effort this time and diving into a more experiential story for you to develop an understanding before opting to buy it – especially if you love to create content from your smartphone(s).

Nokia 8 offers an advanced and dynamic experience with its 8 differentiating features. A high performance, beautifully crafted smartphone, the Nokia 8 is designed with content creators in mind with unique features such as the Dual-Sight live streaming mode or be it the OZO audio. Here are the top 8 reasons you should choose the Nokia 8:

1. More engaging social media feeds powered by the dual-sight camera

With the amazing dual-sight camera and live streaming mode on offer from the new Nokia 8, content creators can broadcast more freely with their #Bothie stories in real time on Facebook and YouTube simultaneously via the split screen feature, using both front and rear cameras powered by ZEISS. All you V-loggers, #Bothie is the feature for you guys.

2. High-quality photos and videos with the 13MP cameras

The front and rear-facing cameras on the Nokia 8 have been co-developed with ZEISS optics for an optimum all-around experience. The 13MP rear camera has a color sensor and a monochrome sensor, while the wide-angled 13MP front camera comes with a phase detect auto-focus feature to ensure high-quality photo and video capturing.

3. Easy-to-use with pure and latest Android operating system

Nokia 8 provides a pure Android experience, which means it comes without any preinstalled unnecessary apps that become a reason for slowing down the performance of your phone. It is also very secure and maximizes the ease-of-use by enabling easy and timely updates of applications. Yes! We are running the latest Android Oreo update on it.

4. Attractive look and bright capacitive screen

Nokia 8, which has 5.3″ 2K polarized screen protected with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5, offers an ultra-bright and vivid image quality. The 1440×2560 resolution display has 700 nits screen brightness and 554 ppi density.

5. Ergonomic design

Nokia 8 comes with an ergonomic design, measuring only 4.6mm at the edges and just 7.3mm on average. It stands out with its stylish and convenient form, while its unibody is machined from a single block of 6000 series aluminum that has been given a polished mirror finish over a 40-stage process. Its finesse gives that premium feel, especially if you are using either the Steel (Grey) or Tempered (matte) Blue color

6. Records ambient sounds clearly with OZO audio

Nokia 8 is the first smartphone to feature OZO audio that brings the Hollywood technology into the hands of its users. Ambient sounds can be clearly recorded in 4K videos with OZO 360° audio thanks to the three microphones developed by Nokia acoustic technology. Trust us! The audio quality of recording literally blows our mind.

7. High memory capacity

The 64GB standard memory of Nokia 8 can be increased up to 256GB with an external MicroSD card slot, while the users can also enjoy unlimited photo and video uploads to Google Photos.

8.  Long battery life and rapid charging

Having the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 mobile processor, Nokia 8 extends the operating time and enables fast charging with its 3090mAh battery. Nokia 8 is charged with a USB-C socket and connection and is Qualcomm® Quick ChargeTM 3.0 compatible, meaning when your battery is running low, you can get back to recording your important moments sooner.

Last but not the least, you will not stop commending its battery life and it’s rapid charging while you are using the Nokia 8 in your daily routine.

Nokia 8 Review: Is the Flagship Worth the Price-Tag?

Pakistan vs West Indies: Massive Amount of Litter Swarms National Stadium!

While Karachiites left the stadium with amazing memories, however, they left leaving their trash and litter!

To think that after all these years, the game’s return will spark life back into Pakistan in an unimaginable way, yet, we continue to maintain the image of litterers.

This is what the stadium looked like during the Pakistan vs West Indies match on Sunday, 1st April:

This is National Stadium after the match!

Wastage of food and water is strictly condemned in many religions as there are millions who are deprived of clean water and a single grain, and here we are wasting our resources and edibles, not to forget polluting our homeland.

However, there are a few unsung heroes in this world who surely deserve to be recognized in the society for their undying love and dedication. One man was spotted at National Stadium cleaning up after others!

A huge round of applause for Ahmed Khan Abdali!

Pakistan needs more responsible citizens like Ahmed!

Respect your country, respect the game, dispose of your trash the proper way!
