CCP Issues Historic Warning To Influencers On Deceptive Marketing

By

Influencer marketing has become essential in modern advertising, using social media platforms as crucial channels for brands to connect with their target audience. This strategy involves collaborating with popular social media influencers to endorse or promote a brand, product, or service, leveraging their credibility and extensive reach. Celebrities’ online endorsements significantly influence consumers’ purchasing decisions.

Influencer marketing can intensify competition among businesses by highlighting the reliability and quality of their products or services. It also facilitates the entry of small businesses and newcomers into the market, aiding in their expansion. However, the increasing prevalence of influencer-driven marketing campaigns has led to a rise in deceptive marketing practices, posing significant risks to unsuspecting consumers.

CCP Notifies Digital Marketers 

The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has observed certain influencers and endorsers making false and misleading endorsements to attract consumers. The Commission has already issued detailed “Guidelines on Section 10: Deceptive Marketing Practices,” clarifying that false or misleading ‘endorsements/testimonials’ are prohibited.

Mubashir Mehmood, a professional in digital marketing, highlighted that influencers often focus on younger audiences, including teenagers and individuals in their early 20s, who may not fully grasp the implications of the endorsements they come across.

“This lack of understanding (of youngsters, which leads to loss in many cases) can reduce trust, a crucial element in the digital space, especially in e-commerce.”

Furthermore, the CCP emphasized in a statement to the media that false or misleading endorsements violate Section 10 of the Competition Act, 2010, which prohibits deceptive marketing practices. In collaboration with stakeholders, the CCP aims to ensure fair competition and consumer protection. The commission is dedicated to taking strict action against deceptive marketing practices to uphold the Competition Act, 2010.

Ramiz Raja Suggests Hunain Shah To Step Out Of Naseem Shah’s Shadow

By
Web Desk
-

Ramiz Raja has weighed in on the career trajectory of emerging fast bowler Hunain Shah, urging him to explore opportunities with other franchises in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) apart from Islamabad United.

During the PSL 9 match between Islamabad United and Karachi Kings, Raja expressed his belief that Hunain, who is the younger brother of renowned pacer Naseem Shah, could benefit from stepping out of his brother’s shadow.

Raja emphasized the potential drawbacks of playing alongside Naseem in the same team, citing the possibility of feeling overshadowed and constrained in one’s development.

“It would be good for Hunain to play for another franchise as what happens is there is so much of spoonfeeding and because he [Naseem] is such a pillar to this family, a superstar to Pakistan cricket. You get suppressed in your approach towards the game,” Raja remarked.

He further elaborated, “You are frightened that you wouldn’t be as good as your brother, it is better for him to feel absolutely relaxed and serve better without Naseem’s shadow.”

Hunain Shah made his PSL debut this season with Islamabad United alongside his other brother Ubaid Shah.

Notably, it is the first time for a franchise team to feature three brothers in the squad.

Meanwhile, Hunain Shah has showcased his bowling prowess with six wickets in six matches, maintaining an economy rate of 8.63.

There are rumblings in the cricketing circles as Mohsin Naqvi, the incumbent head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), appears set to bid farewell to his premier position.

Naqvi was elected at PCB chairman last month, however, now the reports suggest that he is set to join the federal cabinet, leaving PCB chairman post.

Broadcast journalist Muneeb Farooq has hinted at Naqvi’s impending departure, sparking speculation about his next move.

Reports suggest that Naqvi may be eyeing a significant role in the federal cabinet, with predictions swirling about his potential appointment as the Interior Minister.

This anticipation aligns with the unfolding of names within the new national coalition, which is unveiling key figures with each passing day.

To materialize this transition, Naqvi would likely need to secure a position as a Senator in the Upper House. Elections for the Upper House are scheduled for later this month, following the end of the six-year tenures of multiple lawmakers.

Alternatively, Naqvi could be tapped for the role of Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on the Interior, a pivotal position in the government’s administrative framework.

However, Naqvi’s tenure at the helm of the PCB has not been without controversy. His appointment to the PCB’s Board of Governors by the Caretaker Prime Minister has faced legal challenges in the Islamabad High Court.

The petitioner has argued that a Caretaker PM lacks the authority to appoint a specific individual as the head of the PCB, contending that such decisions should rest with the elected Prime Minister.

Google Celebrates International Women’s Day in Pakistan with Focus on Empowerment, Upskilling, and Representation

By
Web Desk

Karachi, Pakistan, March 08, 2024: On International Women’s Day, Google celebrates the growing potential and aspirations of women in Pakistan, and reaffirms its dedication to empowering them further with the belief that by equipping women with the skills and resources they need, the country can unlock a future filled with greater equality, inclusion, and prosperity for all.

As part of the company’s’ commitment to help create Future Forward Pakistan, Google has been running various initiatives to help not only to bridge the digital gap for women but also empowering top Pakistani female talents to compete in the global market.

Bridging Gaps Through Upskilling

While the country is on the path of progress in female literacy, gender parity remains a challenge. In Pakistan, female labor force participation rate is among the lowest in the world, hovering around 22%.

Google recognizes the incredible potential and aims to bridge these gaps by launching several programs to help drive stronger equality, and the empowerment of women in the workforce. One such example is the Google Career Certificates program, launched in Pakistan in 2022. 50% of the program scholarships are allocated exclusively for women, in order to increase women’s access to economic opportunities and enable them to pursue their aspirations. The program awarded 44,500 scholarships in 2023 and has committed 45,000 new scholarships for 2024 to empower more learners.

Supporting Women Founders and Women in Tech

It is estimated that only 1% of entrepreneurs in Pakistan are female. In an effort to ensure that Pakistani women are an equal part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem; The Women Founders Circle, a collaboration between Google Cloud and the National Science and Technology Park (NSTP), offers workshops and mentorship for women entrepreneurs in tech, fostering greater inclusion in the startup landscape.

In addition, the Women Techmakers (WTM) program works to upskill and inspire women in technology, running events, providing mentorship, and advocating for greater diversity. There are 7 WTM ambassadors in Pakistan across 5 cities (Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, and Hyderabad). In 2023 alone, Google supported Pakistani WTM Ambassadors to run 7 events across those cities to celebrate the International Women’s Day, which inspired more than 1,500 women.

Nurturing Future Voices

Google News Initiative (GNI), with the support of its local partners, trains young journalists, providing opportunities for women to gain reporting experience, addressing the accessibility of newsrooms.

Marium Chaudhry, a passionate journalist in Pakistan, is on a mission to make the newsroom more accessible for the younger generation in the country. To fulfill her mission of empowering readers, the Google News Initiative partnered with her to help train 120 students in digital journalism using GNI resources. In 12 months, 36 hours of in-person training were conducted, and 50+ blogs were written by students.

Sharing stories, achieving dreams

While YouTube has been a positive force in Pakistan in more ways than one, it also continues to serve as a powerful platform for women to share their voices and inspire others. Throughout the years, there are more and more creators who choose YouTube to be the platform of choice to share their stories and their passion. But not only that, many created a career and gained financial independence through YouTube.

A great example is Iqra Kanwal, one of Pakistan’s top female creators on YouTube. She is a role model of someone who has been able to break stereotypes by following her dream, and empowering and entertaining her community in Pakistan through her content.

Kanwal shares ” I strongly believe that every voice is significant, every story is valuable, and YouTube has played a pivotal role in enabling its creators to bring these stories to life. The platform has been instrumental to my success as a content creator and has provided strong avenues to share my narratives, connect with the audiences globally, and achieve success.”

“Google believes that empowering women is key to driving progress and creating a more equitable future.” states Farhan Qureshi, Google’s Country Director for Pakistan. “Our women-focused programs are strategically designed to equip women in Pakistan with the necessary tools and resources they need to overcome hurdles and unleash their full potential.”

By implementing these initiatives, Google is creating a positive impact on the lives of women in Pakistan and is committed to continuing this journey, working hand-in-hand to create a brighter future where women in Pakistan can hit their stride and contribute to a more inclusive and prosperous society.

Peshawar Zalmi’s opening batsman, Saim Ayub, has provided insight into his intriguing dynamic with captain Babar Azam during the ongoing PSL 9, highlighting their unique partnership on the field.

In an interview with a local sports channel, Ayub candidly shared his approach to playing shots, acknowledging the influence of Babar Azam’s guidance.

He revealed that while Babar advises him against certain shots, he sometimes defies the captain’s instructions, creating an element of spontaneity in their partnership.

“A lot of guidance comes from Babar. Sometimes I do things he will ask me to stop, like if he says not to play shots, I will go for it and when he says go for it, I will not. But opening with him is exciting,” Ayub remarked, reflecting on their on-field rapport.

Saim Ayub also expressed admiration for Babar Azam’s leadership and praised his captaincy skills.

Furthermore, Ayub discussed his emerging role as a bowler in PSL 9, highlighting his gradual transition from a specialist batsman to a versatile all-rounder.

Despite prioritizing batting, Ayub emphasized his readiness to contribute with the ball whenever required, showcasing his adaptability and commitment to the team’s success.

“The opportunity to bowl came in this season. I try to fulfil whatever responsibility is demanded of me and try to give my best.

“I have nothing to lose in bowling so I bowled openly. The experience of powerplay in batting has helped me in planning while bowling,” he explained.

Ayub’s bowling performances in PSL 9 have been commendable, with five innings yielding three wickets at an economy rate of 9.00.

While it might not be the fastest on benchmark charts, it offers a smooth user experience and easily manages your daily tasks.

The Phone 2a’s camera configuration is simple yet efficient. It delivers respectable pictures without needless frills by avoiding the trap of over complicating the photographic experience with just two cameras.

Elegance Within Reach

Even if it doesn’t win “best” in any one area, the Nothing Phone 2a is still one of the most efficient and beautiful looking phones out now, especially given its price range of $350 only! It serves as evidence that sometimes, indeed, less is more.

Television actress Kinza Hashmi was recently spotted at a pre-birthday extravaganza with a guest list full of everyone’s favorite celebrities. Kinza made a debut in the industry as a mere sixteen-year-old, but her talent and maturity were beyond her age. Kinza’s first breakthrough role was in “Ishq Tamasha,” and since then she has given a spectacular performance as each character she has played.

27-year-old actress, Kinza, recently shared her birthday blast on social media. With a pink theme all across the room and a sweet bento cake. Kinza looked glamorous in a two-toned pink dress, yet the fans couldn’t help but put their focus elsewhere.

Take a look at the birthday reel

The gathering seemed to pose as a reunion, bringing together old friends, that Kinza had worked with previously. After spotting celebrities Wahaj Ali, and Feroze Khan together, fans can’t stop buzzing over it. The last we saw of both of them was an exchange of well-wishes. After Wahaj expressed his appreciation of Feroze, he took it over Twitter to let everyone know he felt the same way. This celeb affair was attended by more fan favorites such as Saboor Aly, Sadia Ghaffar, Imran Ashraf, Zaviyar Nauman Ijaz, and Minal Khan.

Kinza’s comments, however, seem to only be about Wahaj and Feroz. With statements like ” I can only see Feroze” and “WOW! Feroze and Wahaj together” were still figuring out what they did to suddenly become the center of attention.

The producer and director of some of the biggest Indian TV series Ekta Kapoor is ready to remake ‘Tere Bin.’ CEO of Balaji production house, Ekta Kapoor has produced some of the most popular Indian dramas such as Naagin (2015), Bade Achhe Lagte Hain (2011-2014 and Jodha Akbar (2013-2015).

Tere Bin has won the hearts of not just Pakistani viewers but also Indian and Bangladeshi because of its relatable plot twist and the scandalous chemistry of its lead stars, Murtasim (Wahaj Ali) and Meerab (Yumna Zaidi). Tere Bin is a compelling tale about Meerab and Murtasim facing each other, fighting a continuous battle of ego, anger, and hatred.

Have a look at the recent most episode:

Kanika Mann and Ayesha Khan Offered Casting by Ekta Kapoor

Reportedly, Kapoor has been approaching actors Kanika Mann and Ayesha Khan. Kanika has gained popularity over a stunning dual performance in the ongoing series “Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega.” A story about a young girl marrying a 45-year-old man. And Ayesh Khan started as a wildcard entry in the hit Indian reality series hosted by Salman Khan “Big Boss.” Aisha has been recently working in Pakistani dramas with prominent roles in ‘Mughal’ and ‘Woh Aik Pal.’

More reports tell that Kapoor has also partnered up with Colours TV, an Indian general entertainment channel, and has decided to launch the remake by July of 2024.

But this is not the first time neighboring countries have loved Pakistani work. Starring Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan as lead actors, Humsafar was just as widely loved. Regardless, fans have a lot to say about this remake. Complaints are coming in that Tere Bin will be turned into yet another typical Indian series. A damsel in distress and some charming hero to save her, no one wants to see that mellow drama again.

However, Kapoor was quick to reply to the criticism explaining she can’t change the story just because some people just don’t get it. Neither the content nor the production house seem to have any problems with the script.

This new project Kapoor has taken over shows appreciation for cross-border stories and as she ventures on further, we hope that she makes it a success.

Nokia’s History Will Leave You Shocked

By
Dr. Rida Qamar

Nokia, a highly recognized and well-liked company founded in 1865 in Finland, is a multinational telecommunications company that was once a major player in the mobile phone industry. Despite its past success, Nokia faced significant challenges and ultimately struggled to keep up with its competitors and evolving technology, leading to its decline.

Over the years, Nokia has succeeded in various industries like cable, paper products, rubber boots, tires, televisions, and mobile phones. Nokia widely known for developing mobile phones shifted its focus to telecommunications in the 1990s, and their quick success in the mobile phone industry led them to become the top-selling mobile phone brand globally by 1998.

As Nokia expanded significantly by concentrating on electronics and telecommunications, becoming a globally recognized brand, the very same led to Nokia’s failure in the mobile phone market where it once dominated, reaching an impressive 49.4% market share in 2007.

Nokia’s Rise & Downfall 

In 1979, Nokia entered the telephone industry by establishing Mobira Oy in a joint venture with Finnish TV maker Salora, pioneering the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) service, the world’s first international cellular network. During the 1980s, Nokia introduced its first car phone, the Mobira Senator, and in 1982, the company launched its first digital telephone switch, the Nokia DX200.

As Nokia ventured through satellite and digital television technolog, during the 1990s, Nokia’s top management made the strategic decision to concentrate exclusively on the telecommunications market. Consequently, the company divested its data, power, television, tire, and cable units within the first few years of the decade, marking the beginning of Nokia’s prosperous era.

In 1992, Nokia introduced its first hand-held GSM phone, the Nokia 1011, boasting a talk time of 90 minutes and the capacity to store 99 contact numbers. Two years later, in 1994, Nokia launched the Nokia 2100 featuring the iconic Nokia ringtone. This model exceeded expectations, selling over 20 million units globally, surpassing the company’s initial predictions.

Fast forward 2003, Nokia made history by introducing the first camera phone. Responding to growing competition from iOS and Android operating systems in 2011, Nokia formed a strategic partnership with Microsoft. Eventually, in 2014, Nokia sold its mobile and devices division to Microsoft.

With the role out of new technologies including Android and Apple, customers quickly transitioned from Nokia to other smartphone brands. Despite being the top mobile seller in 2008, Nokia experienced a significant decline as early as 2009. However, Nokia remained committed to its operating system, Symbian, even as the popularity of Android and iOS soared. Unfortunately, Symbian couldn’t keep up with the competition posed by Android and iOS in the operating system market.

In 2016, the Nokia brand made a comeback in the mobile handset market through a licensing agreement with HMD Global, enabling them to produce phones under the Nokia brand. The following year, in 2017, HMD Global launched a new lineup of Nokia-branded Android smartphones and feature phones. Since then, HMD Global has expanded its portfolio to include not only phones but also tablets and services.

Mohammad Hafeez Voices Concern Over Sahibzada Farhan’s Batting Technique

mohammad-hafeez-criticizes-sahibzada-farhan

Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez has expressed concerns over the batting technique of Lahore Qalandars’ opening batsman Sahibzada Farhan, particularly against swinging deliveries.

During the recent PSL 9 match against Islamabad United, Sahibzada Farhan struggled to make an impact, scoring only two runs off 12 balls.

He struggled particularly against Naseem Shah’s impressive swing bowling before being dismissed by Hunain Shah.

Speaking to a local sports channel after the match, Mohammad Hafeez highlighted Farhan’s discomfort against the swinging new ball, despite his credentials as an opener and a prolific scorer in domestic cricket.

“He looked pretty uncomfortable while facing the first over, especially against the swinging deliveries. This is a recurring issue for him, and it needs to be addressed,” stated Hafeez.

“He is a a good batter and has shown in domestic cricket. But the world’s top new-ball bowlers will exploit his weakness if not rectified.”

Echoing similar sentiments, cricketing icon Wasim Akram expressed his observations regarding Farhan’s struggle against swing bowling, particularly evident during Naseem Shah’s spell.

“It was seaming little bit and no doubt Naseem [Shah] bowled well, but he was bowling normal out-swingers. Sahibzada [Farhan] looked clueless as if he has never played swing bowling,” remarked Wasim Akram.

Meanwhile, Lahore Qalandars secured their first victory of PSL 9 against Islamabad United at Rawalpindi’s Pindi Cricket Stadium.

After posting 162 runs, led by Rassie van der Dussen’s fifty, Lahore’s bowling attack, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi, successfully restricted Islamabad to 145 runs, showcasing a spirited performance in the league.
