While technology has made our lives easier, they have also put our lives at risk. Unfortunately, incidents occur without the slightest indication and some of them prove to be fatal.

One such incident occurred in China, where an exploding phone, which was charging, claimed the eye and right index finger of a boy Meng Jisu.

The sister reportedly told news sources that she heard a loud noise, and when she approached the scene, she found her brother covered in blood.

The explosion also caused injuries to his palm and other fingers, which were also severely injured, the explosion also damaged his right eyeball, according to the sources. Sharp pieces of glass pierced the skin on his face and have caused other injuries.

The phone was a Hua Tang VT-V59 and was manufactured in China. The company has not yet responded to the even as of yet.

Apple is Offering iPhone 7 Owners FREE Services!

Recently, the tech giant was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, as it was slapped with 32 lawsuits after it accepted that the older iPhones models were slowed-down by the company.

However, that did not stop the company from earning millions of dollars through sales. The company earned $88bn in the last couple of months of 2017, which is amazing.

The company gave a small favor to their customer as a sign of apology and slashed their battery replacement service price in half. This time around, Apple has confirmed that iPhone 7 users who are facing a ‘no service’ issue will get repairs absolutely free.

The phone seems to be having problems in retrieving cellular services from the telecom operators. According to the company, the bug is “due to a component that has failed on the main logic board.”

The company also added that there are 3 models which have been affected by this problem, which are the A1660, A1780, and A1779, specifically. These units were manufactured during September 2016-February 2018 and were sold in US, China, Japan, Hong Kong, and Macao.

Furthermore, Apple will reimburse the customers who had spent money on a repair related to this specific issue. This offer may be valid for specific regions and countries only. The affected iPhone 7 devices are eligible for the offer, for two years since the date of purchase.

Reham Khan Leaves Pakistan Citing Threats

By

Reham-Khan

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, Imran Khan’s former wife, Reham Khan has left the nation after receiving threats by unknown individuals.

Apparently, menacing calls were constantly being made to Reham’s staff about her since last September. But the warnings escalated over time, compelling Khan to leave the nation.

Talking to Geo News, Reham revealed:

“Presently, I am in severe depression and also angered. Due to threats, I took my daughter out of school and have left the country”

Furious and disheartened, Khan stated that she could not find any support or safety while voicing out her views in Pakistan

“I was unable to speak truth in Pakistan as not a single party supported me there”

Her decision came a day after the anchor-turned-politician divulged some secrets about Imran Khan’s personal and political life to India TV.

Reham Khan

Claiming that she is finally breaking silence on certain matters, Reham bashed the PTI Chairman by commenting “he’s good at entering the wedlock than being a good life partner”.

“But making marriages and leading these relations are two different aspects. If the behavior is good and there is a bona fide intention to lead this relation, then this relationship does not end in divorce,”

She even challenged Supreme Court’s decision of deeming Imran Khan ‘Sadiq’ and ‘Ameen’.

“I don’t know how the court gave him such a concession and adopted such a soft attitude towards him but it seems our judiciary sometimes gives more concession and sometimes not at all”

Maan Jao Naa Movie Review: New Wine in a Very Old Bottle

By
Omair Alavi
-

Just as you can’t judge a book by its cover, you can’t judge Maan Jao Naa by its trailer. The film may come across as an amateur attempt at filmmaking but it is much better than many recent released film.

However, it could have been better had the makers worked a little harder on the story and overall presentation. It looks like you are watching an old Pakistani or Bollywood film with new actors because whatever happens on screen, used to happen in the 80s when things were simpler.

Synopsis

 Rania (Naaz Norouzi) and Faris (Adeel Chaudhry) are best friends who love their single status, hoping to stay that way forever.

After Ghujji (Naeem Haque) proposes to Rania through her parents, she runs away with Faris who confesses his love to her. What happens next changes their lives forever and involves their friends Asim and Sara (played by Ayaz Samoo and Hajra Yamin) as well as elders (Asif Raza Mir, Asma Abbas, and Sabahat Bukhari).

Analysis

Naaz Norouzi is the star of the film as she walks into the hearts of all with her overall persona; she can dance, act and look beautiful at the same time which gives her the edge over many actresses in Pakistan.

Her leading man Adeel Chaudhry finally makes his film debut as an actor after spending many years as a vocalist and improves as the film progresses. Ayaz Samoo provides the much-needed comedy boost while romancing with Hajra Yamin.

As the father of the ‘bride’, Asif Raza Mir is perfect and he should act more in films as we are short on actors who can play heroine’s father and look good.

The problem is with the script and direction – while the framing is amazingly done, the fight sequence post interval looks like a scene from the 1950s due to bad Visual Effects.

The script is quite predictable and is suited for a TV serial more than a film; the songs are the highlight of the movie yet two of the remade songs are abruptly cut from the movie because of copyright issues.

Then there was some really bad acting from Asma Abbas who tried to copy sister Bushra for no reason (she is quite talented herself) whereas Naeem Haque’s cameo didn’t look threatening despite he being the antagonist.

Verdict 2.5/5

 Maan Jao Naa might do well at the box office because of a fresh cast but a film needs to have a good story and execution to be a box office success.

Sadly it fails to impress when it comes to storytelling as whatever happens on the screen used to happen decades ago. People don’t bump into each other and fall in love anymore; you can’t ruin someone else’s wedding by doing a naatak or you can’t tell your son that you were a cool dude when your body language paints you as a lethargic and lazy individual.

Yes, there are back stories to all characters but what about the ‘front’ stories, the ones for which the audience have paid.

Nestlé Unveils Some Beautiful Photographs Narrating the Story of Milk!

By
Areeb Khan
-

The 31st of January 2018 was a historic moment as Pakistan’s veteran milk brand unveiled an untold tale to the world- the magnificent evolution of milk industry in Pakistan and the quintessential love of the daily staple in our lives.

Collaborating with Markings Pakistan, the brand revealed its bona fide book ‘Drops of the Divine: A Story of Milk in Pakistan’; an aesthetically photographed coffee table book.

The monumental event, apart from launching the book, also had a photo exhibition of all the breath-taking images that were taken by Kohi Maari and Amna Zuberi for the book.

With the launch and the amazing photographs all around, the night took a turn for the best when Khumariyaan showed up and gave one of their best performances that had the crowd even more charged up than before.

About Drops Of Divine: A Story Of Milk In Pakistan

As Pakistan accomplished its independence in 1947,90% of the population sought their abode in villages.

Consequently, there was a massive production and consumption of raw milk in the nation, along with which the excess was turned into ghee, butter or yogurt.

But over the passage of time, Pakistan’s development witnessed the glorious urbanization, paving the way for milk collectors to make their mark on the country. And giving them excess to earn their bread and butter from heavily populated areas.

In the golden era of the 70’s and 80’s, the government introduced some powerful policies that gave a mighty boost to the dairy industry. The effort eventually pushed the sector into the direction that made it grow by leaps and bounds.

In 1988, history was made when Nestlé partnered with MILKPAK Limited to revolutionize the dairy industry as we know it today.

This transcendent transition of a tale has been captured and narrated in Drops of the Divine: A Story of Milk in Pakistan.

Readers will also love to discover a collection of easy-to-make dairy recipes that are loved and cherished all over the nation.

Bruno Olierhoek, CEO Nestlé Pakistan, spoke at the event:

“Apart from tracing the dairy trail and the packaged milk industry in Pakistan, the coffee table book also features insight from those associated with the country’s dairy sector over the years. We hope this book goes a long way in adding to readers’ knowledge of the evolution of packaged milk in Pakistan”.

Kiran Aman, the founder, and CEO of Markings shared her experience about working with Nestlé:

“Working on a book about milk for Nestlé was totally characteristic of Markings Publishing, solely because I know it has never been done before in Pakistan nor worldwide. We enjoyed creating content and giving it a visual. It’s always exciting doing something completely new, and Nestlé’s team was very cooperative and we visited an entirely new world through them and learned about a product that is such an integral part of our lives. The fact that it comes from Pakistan was an even greater joy to work for. It showcases the growth of our industry here, the potential we have, and the room for so much more to happen in our country.”

The event not only helped us learn the history of milk in a rather beautiful way, but it also helped showcase the raw talent and the photographic skills of Amna Zuberi and Koh-e-Mari and simply blew everyone away with what they captured on their cameras.

More than often, if not always, no one really takes the time to think about just where it is that milk comes from, or how it reaches us.

Drops of the Divine: A Story of Milk in Pakistan uncovers just this and carefully lays out the journey for you in a manner that is not only easy to understand but also beautiful to view.

We now await to see just what it is that Nestlé Pakistan does, which blows everyone away once again.

‘Aik Zaroori Baat’ Jo Bachoun Ko Samjhani Hai!

By
Ghazala Sulaiman
-

The first line of protection for children is their family. They are primarily responsible for creating a safe and close-knit environment where their little ones can feel safe, loved and secured.

It is important that throughout their childhood discovery years parents educate the younger ones on all necessary precautions to safeguard their wellbeing. This ensures that their children aren’t caught off-guard, are able to take appropriate actions and bring issues to notice before it is too late. Despite the importance of such education, it remains somewhat of a taboo topic in Pakistan.

However, with the recent rise in sexual abuse incidents against children in Pakistan, there is an immediate need for awareness and education in our society regarding this issue. We cannot just wait for outside agencies to resolve the matter for us. We need to take matters in our own hands and educate our children about the dangers that lurk around us all.

A Much Needed Initiative By Knorr!

In a bid to stop sexual exploitation of children, Knorr has kickstarted its #AikZarooriBaat campaign to sensitize children who are most vulnerable to these problems. While this is a tricky subject to talk about, the brand has made the discussion child-friendly by rolling out a series of videos, featuring its famous animated characters ‘Chuck and Chatty’.

The purpose of these videos is to educate children on how to stay safe in an easily understandable manner that would appeal to them.

Stranger Danger!

The first and most basic rule that every child needs to learn is that strangers are dangerous and should not to be trusted. They should not talk to them, go anywhere with them and accept any item (be it gifts/toys/candies) from them. Children hence need to not accept anything from anyone without their parents’ permission and only interact with people their parents allow.

Here’s How Knorr Told Kids About Strangers In Its Video!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNZ1ADPj7Xc&feature=youtu.be

No Bad Touch!

Children need to be educated from an early age that no one can touch them in any way that makes them uncomfortable. They hence need to understand the difference between good and bad touch and that they have the right to control who can have any sort of physical contact with them, even if it is to just pat them on the head.

Watch How Knorr Teaches Kids About Bad Touch In This Video!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIdSE7eJcbI&feature=youtu.be

Kudos To Knorr For This Brilliant Initiative!

The brand has upped the ante by taking the first step in educating the country on just how to overcome the issue at hand.

Parents and caregivers now need to take the discussion forward and use these videos as conversation starters for more detailed discussions on the topic with their children. More importantly, they need to give children the confidence to speak up without fear so that they have the courage to raise their voices against any wrongdoings.

Let’s all vow to create a safer environment for our children!

Coca-Cola Creates History as FIFA World Cup™ Trophy Arrives in Pakistan!

The FIFA World Cup landed in Lahore today on a special flight from Chiang Mai, Thailand, amidst the tangible excitement.

On board the special flight with Rizwan U. Khan, General Manager Coca-Cola Pakistan were several luminaries, including French International Footballer Christian Karembeu, cricketer Younis Khan, Pakistan Women Football Team captain Hajra Khan, Studio artists Momina Mustehsan and Quratulain Balouch, celebrities Maya Ali and Zainab Abbas, corporate leaders and others.

Coming to Pakistan for the first time in FIFA’s history, Coca-Cola’s Trophy Tour is a chance for football fans to see the FIFA World Cup Original Trophy in their own countries and getting ready for the excitement for the upcoming FIFA World Cup™.

The FIFA World Cup Trophy arrived in Lahore in the morning of February 03, where football’s most coveted prize was unveiled to a group of media representatives, national sportspersons, and other key stakeholders.

The attendees were given a unique opportunity to take a first look at the FIFA World Cup Original Trophy and take photos with the Coca-Cola and FIFA ambassadors in front of the plane.

The Trophy was then taken to a hotel in the afternoon where it was showcased during an event attended by a delegation of key stakeholders, government officials, media, the national men’s and women’s football teams, sports bloggers and influencers.

Speaking at the event, Rizwan U. Khan, General Manager of Coca-Cola Pakistan & Afghanistan said, “Coca-Cola Pakistan has always been the pioneer in supporting causes that are dear to the hearts of our people, taking the lead and exploring new horizons that no one else has ventured to explore. We all know that in recent years the popularity of football has increased exponentially in our country, transcending ethnic, linguistic and even income boundaries. This sport, incidentally the most popular sport in the world, deserves support for its growth and blossoming in Pakistan too. Bringing the FIFA World Cup Trophy to Pakistan is just the start Coca-Cola Pakistan is making. Plans are already underway for launching a nationwide, grassroots level football promotion campaign, and in the coming weeks you will certainly hear or read about these!”

Kaleemullah, the current captain of Pakistan’s national football team asserted, “The Trophy visit is definitely a big achievement and will put us on the map as far as international football is concerned. Events like this are crucial for bolstering the budding talent in our country and will surely hearten many football enthusiasts and young, aspiring players who want to play football in future. The initiative taken by Coca-Cola to bring the Trophy to Pakistan, combined with other initiatives (that the company will announce shortly) can help build a proper, structured platform for football in the country – especially for would-be footballers.”

Abbas Arslan, Marketing Director of Coca-Cola Pakistan & Afghanistan shared that, “Coca-Cola shares the passion fans around the world have for football.  The Trophy’s visit to Pakistan is an extraordinary opportunity for people to take in a piece of football history and share their passion for the sport with each other.”

The CokeFest, held at Lake City Lahore later in the day, was attended by thousands of football enthusiasts, who were given the unique opportunity of getting up close and personal with the legendary Trophy.

Pakistani Celebrities Are Snapping Their Fingers & We Can’t Figure Out Why

By

There seems to be a rather strange trend going on social media these days and we just can’t seem to figure out what it’s all about.

We noticed the first instance of this today when the dapper Fahad Mustafa was spotted snapping his fingers on his Instagram!

Let’s be aware! #DRIVEONPAKISTAN

A post shared by Fahad Mustafa (@mustafafahad26) on

 

The video was accompanied by a caption #DriveOnPakistan.

Almost immediately later, Shahid Afridi put up a very similar clip on with the caption #DriveonPakistan 

It’s time to take ownership! #DRIVEONPAKISTAN #Pakistan

A post shared by Shahid Afridi (@safridiofficial) on

His Video had him saying ‘Ao Zimmadar Pakistani Honay Ka Saboot Daitay Hain’, followed by the snapping of the fingers.

Since these two videos went viral, a chain reaction took place which saw numerous celebrities and their followers, flooding the internet with their clips of snapping their fingers!

Let’s snap out of this recklessness!! #DRIVEONPAKISTAN

Pretty strange, right?

After putting much thought into it we have tried to come up with a few hypotheses on what might be happening here.

Probably, they want to seize our attention for a crucial matter!

Snapping is sometimes used to get someone’s attention. Given the caliber of the people involved, there has to be much more to it than just that.

Maybe snapping is the new clapping

Is it the new cool thing in town? We never know.

They are irritated about something!

Out of all the hypothesis, this seems to be the most plausible. Given that people snap their fingers to indicate they are annoyed at something or want someone to hurry up!

At the same time, a snap means that something will happen instantaneously. So perhaps they are asking us all to get somewhere or drive somewhere real quick? This is really confusing.

Or these stars are hinting at something exciting coming soon!

If they are playing with us a subtly hinting at something big coming our way then we simply cannot wait. Not only are these some of our favorite celebrities but the fact that they are so excited about it is getting us excited too. Can’t wait to see just what all the snapping is about.

It is likely that they are trying to convey a secret message!

This is another direction to explore. Maybe they are trying to send a strong message. However, what this message is all about is yet to be discovered.

If anyone of you can figure out just what the snapping is all about or if you’re one of the numerous who have uploaded videos of themselves snapping then please do tell us what it’s all about because we really would like to solve this mystery once and for all!

 

Baaghi Drama’s Last Episode Leaves the Viewers in Tears!

By

When all good things come to an end, the world bemoans!

Last night, the final episode of Urdu1’s stellar drama ‘Baaghi’ aired in all its glory. From Saba Qamar’s passionate performance as Fauzia, Osman Khalid Butt’s generous and loving character, Khalid Malik’s different yet strong role; this drama has locked itself in a safe place in every viewer’s heart.

Where on one hand, the star-studded cast kept us hooked to the tale, on the other hand, the biography of Qandeel Baloch unveiled the unseen side of her; how she transformed herself for fame, and money to become a strong-headed woman of substance.

Before Baaghi, people who used to think negative about Qandeel, today, stands in favor of the girl who in her personal life stood for women empowerment. Unfortunately, she was killed in the name of honor by her very own blood.

As Baaghi came to an end, OKB couldn’t hold back his tears.

Nimra Khan too posted a heartfelt note about her journey in Baaghi!

 

These amazing lines by Sabar Qamar at the end of the amazing drama will always be remembered by the viewers.

It puts us all into the thought that whatever happened with Qandeel, was it all correct?

The Audience Also Could Not Hold Back Their Tears!

Many Stars Applauded Baaghi And Saba Qamar!

Even People From India Applauded The Show!

This Post By a Fan Exactly Summarizes What Baaghi Taught Us!

The end of Baaghi leaves us with many questions. Doesn’t a person, who wants to improvise herself/himself, deserve a second chance?

Is “honor-protection” only applicable for girls? Did killing a “bad woman” end the problem itself? Did Qandeel really deserve it?

All these questions do have an answer. Do ponder upon these for once.

What are your views on this ground-breaking drama? Let us know in the comments below.

PIA Revokes Discount Policy For the Elderly & Handicapped

By
Web Desk
-

PIA, the national flight-carrier, has been in losses for quite some time. They have been adapting many policies to cut down their expenditure and to stop adding on to their losses.

Now, they have revoked yet another policy.

PIA recently announced that it will no longer give discounts to the elderly citizens and the disable citizens.

Previously, 40% discount was offered to the disable people with 20% discount to their family members who were traveling with them. Another 20% discount was also given to the travelers who were above the age of 65.

However, the aviation service providers have revoked this policy because they feel that this is adding to their deficit. They have stopped giving a discount to both national and international travelers.

The company had to halt its operations in many countries because of its high cost, and now it had to pull back its discount policy.

Let’s see what other measures this company takes in this regard to stop adding on to their drops.

Stay tuned to Brandsynario for more updates.

Mehwish Hayat’s Latest Instagram Post Ignites Social Media Backlash

Instagram has become a go-to platform for celebrities to interact with their followers and share their most candid moments with their fans.

While stars are in the limelight at all times, sometimes their social media activities can spark the most unexpected reaction from their followers.

Various superstars clap back to slam the keyboard warriors, the rest don’t even pay heed to the backlash.

Recently, Mehwish Hayat has found herself in the eye of a social media storm and has ignited quite a hullabaloo over an Instagram post!

Yesterday, the Billi babe posted a sultry photo to flaunt her uber classy jacket by a local brand.

Well, the internet lost their cool after catching a sight of Hayat in skin-tight pants! 

Haters started shaming the starlet!

Some perverted comments were also thrown her way!

The caption on the jacket was blown out of proportion! 

Trolls also compared her to Sunny Leone!

Earlier, in an Instagram post, Mehwish posted a long, powerful message to address the matter of misogyny. By posting a throwback clip to Actor in Law, the Dilagi diva stated that women can wear whatever they choose to and will still be victims of sexual violence.

 The way that a woman dresses has no bearing on the way she is treated. This is simply down to the mentality of some of the misogynistic elements in our society.

The life of a celebrity maybe full of glitz and glamour, however, people often forget they too have a personal life and they too have feelings just like any normal person.

The Internet is full of crappy comments of people body-shaming and bashing celebs on how they dress. If only people realized that there are far more important things than just passing comments on the internet.

Corolla Owners Furious Over Faulty Infotainment Units; Demand Recall

By

Furious Toyota Corolla owners want the company to recall their cars and fix the ‘faulty’ infotainment units!

Customers have been steaming off on social media describing the horror or their faulty systems in their Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8 and 1.6 Facelift.

Users are complaining that the unit is making weird noises and keeps hanging (freezing). That’s not all if a driver tries to access Google Maps, then they get stuck abruptly as the system fails to respond.

One of the customers had to say the following;

“Dear Indus Motor Company. The infotainment unit in Altis 1.8 and Altis 1.6 facelift are not up to mark and should be recalled immediately. They are a blot on the face of such a nice car.

In 1.8 variants, the player despite updates installed by the vendor still freezes a lot and lags. Plus the quality of front and the rear camera is also substandard as the display is full of waves and distortion and night view is very bad.

We request you to recall this unit and replace it with some latest model whose hardware is capable enough to run the latest version of Android with sufficient ram.”

Another had to say;

“Agreed, I have the Grande FL head unit. The HU is poor and the hardware used in it is outdated, it is running an extremely old Android OS (4.4.2) and the processor used is a few years old as well (ARM Cortex-A7) with 1GB RAM (usable RAM is 833MB).

HU lags and hangs on Google maps. Has issues with Bluetooth and would randomly stop playing music after 20-30min and would only work after turning Bluetooth on and off.

When the device is lagging, turning the volume up/down from steering can take up to 30-40 seconds to take effect. Since it has a very old Android OS, a lot of apps are not compatible with the HU.

Even their vendor admits, it is a slow device so we have to deal with it and in one instance said, these issues are in Civic turbo as well (same vendor) like that justifies the issues in grande’s HU. I hope someone from IMC is reading this and gets the issues resolved because it looks like a dated hardware issue.”

Drivers have even submitted complaints to Toyota’s HQ in Japan demanding for a recall and replacement of the system.

Body of Sexually Assaulted Boy Found Near Karachi’s National Stadium

Even after #JusticeForZainab, the assaults against minors have not ceased. Yet another minor was sexually abused and brutally murdered as his body was discovered near the city’s National Stadium Road.

The 7-year old, Hassan Shah, was raped before he was killed, according to the initial reports. His body was found in the bushes and was ushed to Civil Hospital for postmortem examination.

The father of the boy reported that the child was missing from home since the afternoon. This is not the only case that has been reported. A teacher in Okara was charged with sexually assaulting a child and verbally abusing her.

Another minor, 13 of age, was raped and murdered in Mastung, the family earlier protested in Quetta Thursday night asking for justice for their deceased beloved.

That’s not all, a man was arrested in Bahawalnagar Thursday night for kidnapping the former’s minor daughter in Haroonabad. Authorities believe the father of the girl, eight, planned to kill his daughter in order to frame his rivals and file a case against them.

On one hand, while the nation expresses the rage and anger against these rapes and murders with minors, the numbers are increasing day-by-day. These cases are not just restricted to Kasur of its surrounding areas anymore, they have spread like a disease and seem to have no stop.

Something needs to be done, for the protection of the children, and its high time the government and the people finally did something about it!

Ishtehari Creates a First-Of-Its-Kind Co-Branded Campaign #FantaToMyOyeHoye

By
Web Desk

Content creators and influencers are part of a budding new community that is holding audience attention far better than brand-led social media marketing. Ishtehari sought to create a first-of-its-kind co-branded social campaign for Fanta and Oye Hoye.

In line with the overall campaign messaging, it aimed to create a peripheral campaign that showcased fan love; anchored around a conversation about how Fanta and Oye Hoye make the best combinations.

Oye Hoye’s 4 new flavors make the best combinations with Fanta’s 2 flavors. So amazing is their combo that they’ve become a symbol of the perfect match; they complement and complete each other.

The line #FantaToMyOyeHoye is another way of saying “yin to my yang”, “peanut butter to my jelly”, “the macaroni to my cheese”. To say that someone is the FantaToMyOyeHoye is to express that the two of us are inseparable and make the best combination.

Ishtehari Influence probed the content creators to answer a simple question; Who/what is the Fanta to their Oye Hoye? We wanted them to express it for us by doing a contextual shoutout, in their own art form or niche.

The campaign, focused on creating brand love on Instagram, invited 25 influencers from across Pakistan belonging to different niches to participate in this campaign that was all about expressing and showcasing the love and bond to anything that meant the world to them.

From music to fine arts to design and poetry, #FantaToMyOye touched and explored diverse art forms where influencers equated their relationship of togetherness to their significant others relating with Oye Hoye and Fanta expressing in their own niche/art forms – basically the stuff that made them a cult of a social media phenomenon.

From a musician singing and producing a melodious tune for her beloved cat to an illustrator expressing his love for the love of video games to a calligraphist showing her love towards books and words to a creative writers paying heartfelt tributes in form of lovely testimonials to their friends, siblings and international figures such as Dina Tokio – the #FantaToMyOyeHoye was a brilliant amalgamation of creative liberty and endorsing of products without making it look coerced and pushed like traditional ad forms.

The campaign’s objectives were:

  • To endorse Fanta and Oye Hoye as best counter-parts to each other, through social influence.
  • To co-create fun, engaging content around Oye Hoye and Fanta through diverse content creators on Instagram.

The campaign became a catalyst for buzzworthy content being created on Instagram, rallied the creative community on the medium, created positive brand affinity for both products, and got an organic conversation going on Instagram that saw influencer’s followers doing spinoff content and suggesting what the Fanta to their Oye Hoye was.

The campaign was primarily seeded to influencer’s own Instagram communities, targeting a universe of 1.1 million opt-in followers. Because this content is in the unique form that the followers expect from each content creator, we are seeing phenomenal engagement from audiences. Some of our content creators are pushing to as high as 13% engagement rate, compared to brands own digital social assets which hover around the 2% industry benchmark.

Gluco’s Latest TVC Will Take Your Kids on an Epic Adventure with Allahyar & His Friends

By

Peek Freans Gluco’s latest TVC is a sweet treat for sore eyes. The animated commercial has raised the bar for campaigns throughout the country. We are introduced to the exciting story of a young boy, ‘Allahyar’ who has a great sense of adventure and a strong set of values that he follows diligently.

Staying true to the classic Gluco jingle but with a modern upbeat kick, the ad creates the perfect brand recall and will have you singing to ‘G-L-U-C-O GLUCO’ in no time, taking you back to your fondest childhood memories attached to Gluco.

The biscuit brand has recently partnered with the film Gluco Allahyar and the Legend of Markhor. The marketing campaign brings the cast of the movie to life and the team leader, Allahyar appears to have the same traits and characteristics that one would expect from any Gluco lover. These include being courageous, energetic, and resilient, while always standing up and fighting for what he believes is right.

The TVC leaves quite a lasting impact after which every child would want to be just like the central character Allahyar who loves his biscuits and becomes ‘smart and strong’ after having his trusted snack.

Given that Allahyar is going to be heading on a number of adventures, it seems only sensible for him to carry his favorite energy snack, to ensure that he always has that extra boost when he needs it.

With over 1.2 million views and about 800 shares, the latest ad has become a viral super-hit!

The TVC sees everyone having a good time, singing the famous G-L-U-C-O Gluco song!

Gluco’s tagline, ‘Strong bano, Smart raho’ is portrayed extensively through the TVC and can be seen throughout the trailers of the movie where we see Allahyar and his friends overcoming various difficulties in their journey.

The New and Improved Gluco Packaging!

With the TVC we’re also introduced to Gluco’s limited edition packaging which is sure to introduce Allahyar and his friends to every household in the country.

The eye-catching visuals on the pack are sure to attract a massive number of consumers to the brand definitely resulting in increased recognition of the movie and its ties to Gluco. That being said, we also have to appreciate EBM and their ability to promote local talent. Not only do they help showcase just what the country has to offer, but they repeatedly keep doing so.

EBM has always promoted values such as social, cultural & ethical responsibilities.

The Markhor is the national animal of Pakistan. A beautiful wild goat that inhabits the mountainous regions of Pakistan, its existence has been threatened for a number of reasons and efforts are being made to protect it.

We love how Allahyar being a child loves and cares for the environment a great deal. The children of today are our future. Allahyar and the legend of Markhor show the characters caring a great deal about the environment and working towards protecting it at all costs.These are all the values we would like the next generation to take forward in a responsible manner.

In today’s world where children are bound to multi-task at some point requires energy that mothers can find in Gluco. For the last 45 years, Gluco has proven to be one of the leading biscuit brands in Pakistan and has been adored by generations. What sets Gluco apart is the fact that it contains wholesome, natural ingredients, helping children and even adults to achieve that much-needed energy boost on days that just don’t seem to end. The ingredients used include wheat, milk, and butter making it both a healthy and tasty snack, that Pakistani moms are more than happy to give to their children.

Given the fact that the movie is not only promoting and showing the right values in its trailers and pre-hype videos but also partnering up and working to save the wildlife in the country – it seems like Gluco Allahyar & The Legend of Markhor is going to be the movie that everyone needs to see.

Popular Pakistani celebrities have given a shout out to Gluco and how it enables their kids to stay ‘Strong and Smart’!

However, until the release of the film on February 2nd, we have the great TVC released by Gluco to watch. It is bound to get everyone on the hype train for the movie!
