Ali Gul Pir is responsible for making us laugh till the cows come home on several occasions. However, the comedian’s life was recently cut short by an online tabloid who wanted to see him dead. The comedian handled the news in his classic way and we have to say, we want to tweet from the dead too. Read more about what happened here:
Ali Gul Pir’s Death Hoax
This picture was circulating on social media which was beyond hilarious. It was trying to create speculation over whether the comedian was still alive or not. The picture reads that very sad news has reached us all, has he died? The question mark after “inteqal” was enough to have us start laughing. Moreover, underneath it says that there is a “matam” going in his home. His loved ones are grief-stricken.
What is also incredibly funny is how they have added a picture of a dead body’s (seemingly) feet in a cloth? Honestly, today’s news creators are on another level. There is also a picture of an ambulance. We are very happy to know at least it reached him on time, doesn’t reach anyone else. Have a look at the picture here:
How Did The Comedian Handle It?
Pir handled it in a classic comedian way as always. He saw the picture and took it as an opportunity to add to the joke. He reshared the picture and confirmed his death, “Yes, I am dead.” It’s a strange world we live in where people confirm their own deaths but hey, it’s Ali Gul Pir.
The best part has to be when he says he is “tweeting from the dead”. As dull and dreary life is going on nowadays, it makes sense to say that. More than just saying so, we agree and relate to what he said.

Lack of innovation can sometimes lead to business failure. This can cause brands to lose it all, leading them to shut down for their good. No matter how good the business idea is, if the innovator is not willing to take a risk or imply appropriate measures, there comes a time when they have to let it all go. However, if the brands can overcome those hard patches and failures, they sometimes tend to bloom.
Today we are doing a round-off of all the brands on the brink of bankruptcy and shut down but eventually came back with a bang.
1. Apple
The story behind apple is very well known, but even a company like Apple had its fair share of product failure and innovative technology. This leads the company to go in a downward spiral for almost 12 years. Finally, however, the launch of the new iMac with a successful rebranding campaign led apple to become one of the most successful companies in the world.

2. Fed Ex
As of today, Fed Ex is a $30 billion corporate giant. It took the company the loss of $1 million per month because of fuel costs in the 1970s. At one point, the company’s worth stopped as low as $5,000. However, after a constant struggle, it has become one of the biggest self-sustaining brands in the world.

3. Marvel
Founded by Martin Goodman, Marvel was started in 1939, and it had its ups and downs ever since. Marvel scored enough money from selling the comics Spiderman, X-Men, Thor, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the Guardians of the Galaxy. However, it still went bankrupt in 1996.
Later, a deal was made between Marvel’s board of directors and Merrill Lynch, who financed Marvel’s movies. As a result, Iron Man, the first film produced under the new deal in 2008, grossed nearly $600M worldwide, and ever since then, there was no going back.

4. Starbucks
Even though the chain started with a peak, the company was hit by a global recession and increased competition from Dunkin Donuts and McDonald’s. In addition, Starbucks had expanded too fast, and its stock lost 42% of its value in 2007. A new line of heated sandwiches and merchandise sold in the stores was the prime culprit for the brand’s fall. However, after closing down almost 600 stores and introducing new loyalty programs, the brand got back on its feet by 2010.

5. Polaroid
Polaroid went bankrupt twice between 2001 and 2008 and both times due to different reasons. For almost a decade, the polaroid parent company mostly worked on visualization, sharing, and affordability, leading the product to what we know of it today.

6. Air BnB
A multimillion-dollar company that emerged overnight and grew into something monumental. However, When Airbnb started back in 2008, it struggled to find investors all over Silicon Valley. Later, the team had to resort to some patchwork financial fixes, and they started creating custom cereal boxes to make ends meet. Finally, after finding the investments they needed, they got back on track.
7. Converse
The old is a gold concept in fashion was well revived when it got back after it filed for bankruptcy, and the brand was bought by bike for $350M. Nike’s infrastructure and Chuck Taylor brand took converse to new heights.

8. Nintendo
In Nintendo’s history, there also came the point when they failed to innovate with 2001’s Gamecube. The same thing happened in 2012 with the Wii U’s touchscreen controller. By the end of 2014, it had caused the company to suffer tremendously. Finally, the company corrected the Wii U’s long load times by creating a streamlined process that allows players to turn on the device and get into gameplay with three button clicks.

9. IBM
IBM is one of the oldest brands in the world. However, IBM went through the same spiral of lacking innovation when personal computers and client servers threw IBM an industry curveball. They tried to compete in that market, but their high-priced machines couldn’t keep up with their competitors’ smaller, cheaper machines.

10. Reddit
Currently, one of the world’s most popular online platforms, with more than 169 million unique visitors per month, had to go through the same fate. With zero visitors after its launch in 2015, the company founders started inventing fake accounts and holding mock discussions on the platform until some visitors started noticing and trickling in. This, in turn, eventually increased the traffic and surge in online visitors.

Karachi, February 2, 2022] –Spekit, the brainchild of Pakistani powerhouse Zari Zahra and cofounder, Melanie Fellay, has announced raising $45 million in Series B funding led by Craft Ventures, with participation from Felicis, Operator Collective, Matchstick Ventures, Renegade Partners, Foundry Group and Bonfire Ventures, as covered by Forbes. Spekit is the leading platform for onboarding and training remote teams. Now, it becomes the first female-founded company to raise funding of this calibre in Pakistan, bringing the company’s total funds raised to $60 million.
With hubs in Karachi and Denver, Spekit is attracting top-tier technical talent in Pakistan, eager to join the mission to reinvent how we learn at work. The company is rapidly expanding its presence in Pakistan and looking for new talent across software engineering, leadership and more. Since raising a $12.2M Series A funding round in March 2021, Spekit has tripled its employee headcount and grown revenue more than 300% year-over-year. Many of the world’s most innovative companies including Uber Freight, Snowflake, Outreach, Invesco and Southwest Airlines rely on Spekit to empower their employees with real-time knowledge and training, without disrupting their day-to-day workflows.
“Mel and I started this journey with our founding engineering team in Karachi and, while we’ve since expanded across the US, it’s clear that Silicon Valley is no longer the only place where world-class products are built. A key to achieving our growth has been leveraging the immense talent across both nations to build a collaborative, high-caliber team. This is both a competitive advantage and, on a personal level, a source of real pride for me as a Pakistani,” said Zari Zahra, Spekit’s Cofounder and Chief Product and Technology Officer. “We’re growing rapidly and intend to deepen our roots in Pakistan, as well as the US, by finding more talented people to help us build this iconic, market-defining platform.”
For the last three decades, companies have relied on PowerPoints, training sessions, learning management system courses, and manuals to educate employees on products, roles, and tools. But, between the global shift to remote work and the rapid pace of SaaS evolution, the workplace looks drastically different today than it did thirty years ago. Spekit replaces ineffective traditional training methods by surfacing bite-sized training, resources and guidance directly within the applications employees use every day. This alleviates the pain of searching for answers by making knowledge instantly accessible right when it is needed.
“We live in a world of ‘instant’ – one-click shopping, Uber rides, and Google searches. Why should we settle for anything less at work? Spekit is creating the same ease of learning in our professional lives as we have in our personal lives. We’re building an intelligent and personalized learning engine that is built for this new age of remote work, constant innovation and change” said Spekit CEO and cofounder, Melanie Fellay. “The love customers have for our product and company wouldn’t be possible without our team in Pakistan and I’m continually impressed by the caliber of talent in the country.”
Teams leverage Spekit to reduce employee ramp time, introduce new tools, roll out process changes and eliminate time spent searching for answers. When enablement leaders at OwnBackup came to Spekit, they were in a period of hyper-growth after raising a $240 million Series E funding round and scaling from 300 to more than 500 employees. “Spekit gives our reps the product and process knowledge they need to master their roles, directly within the tools they use every day like Salesforce or Slack,” said Thomas Cheriyan, the Senior Director of Learning and Development at OwnBackup. “This saves the enablement team time answering repetitive questions, but, more importantly, drives the productivity of our reps so they can focus on what they’re best at – closing deals.”
“Spekit is pioneering the future of workplace learning with their native, just-in-time enablement platform,” said Brian Murray, Partner and COO at Craft Ventures. “Melanie and Zari are a powerhouse duo: clear vision, A+ product, cult-like customer happiness, and a buzzing team culture. We’re thrilled to join Spekit as they make the tools we use more accessible and powerful.”
With this infusion of capital, Spekit will focus on scaling both the team and the platform – leveraging data to design completely personalized learning experiences for employees that will propel them from novice to master, faster.

Fiza and Shiza fiasco has taken social media by storm. It’s not every day that you get to see something as bizarre as this drama scene on TV. However, what’s common is the fact that brands leave no stone unturned while they hop on the opportunity to advertise the brands using the memes.
While it might sound all fun and games, it seems like, with every passing day, the joke is getting out of hand. Let’s take a look at some of the brands that used the situation to advertise their brand.
1. KFC
Not even KFC could resist the urge to debate on the Fiza-Shiza matter. While they talked about the originality of the drumstick they said,
“Fiza ho ya Shiza, original main koi confuse nae hota!”
The fast-food eatery simply settles the debate by claiming that their fries are loved by everyone, be it Fiza or Shiza.

3. Durex
For him, for her, choose the best option and don’t get confused. While it might seem a little confusing the #fizashiza at the bottom clarified everything. A nightmare for both Shiza and Fiza?
Image source: facebook.com
4. Shinny Arts
The jewellery page shared their stoned pendants by saying,
“Ab Fiza ho ya Shiza, sb k lye ha sterling silver jewellery.”
This could be the ultimate marketing strategy given that Valentine’s Day is around the corner. While everyone can ask for the pendants from their significant other, Fiza and Shiza can easily grab one.
We are no strangers to their commercials and marketing campaigns yet they make sure to create highlights with every one of them. What’s more funny/weird is the rhyming part. I guess we will just leave it at that.
Image source: facebook.com
6. Coffee Kaffee
This sounds like a pure treat. The restaurant is offering a free meal if both Fiza and Shiza come together. However, they can also get a 50% discount on their meals if they show up separately. While the offer is not valid anymore. Do we wonder how many would’ve availed it?

PSL has everyone at the edge of their seats as they root for their favorite. The excitement is reaching the skies but so is rivalry as people boast that their supported team is better. However, Karachi Kings’ performance has left their fans grappling at straws. Five defeats in a row? They have done the impossible. That is precisely why the memes on this team are getting out of control.
What’s Going On?
Karachi Kings recently left their fans disappointed and dejected. After the Babar Azam-led side showcased their fifth consecutive defeat in the Pakistan Super League’s (PSL), people were shocked. The fifth defeat came in the seventh edition match with Islamabad United. Yes, we just lost to Islamabad!
On Sunday, Islamabad United knocked down PSL fifth edition champion Karachi Kings in a massive defeat. They were defeated by 42 runs as the Shadab Khan-led side restricted King to 135 runs. Did Babar Azam just lose to his team member? It seems so. The captain is not giving his best game.
Thereafter, Karachi Kings became a trending topic on Twitter. Not for all the good reasons, though. They started trending as Twitteratis expressed their sadness over the consecutive losses. However, as you may know by now, we have a coping mechanism that is very hilarious. We make memes!
Have a look at the memes that are simply outrageously funny:
You may already be rolling on the floor laughing but there’s more where that came from. Our people do not lack creativity when it comes to memes and they’re bringing out the big guns.
Divided by psl teams, United by hate for Karachi Kings.
Lata Mangeshkar died on Sunday, 6th February at the age of 92. The legend of the music industry started her career in the 1940s and since then, has sung over 25,000 songs in several languages all of which were loved dearly. People of the sub-continent, old and young, have grown up listening to her songs. On her death, let us revisit the songs that define her legacy and keep her immortal.
1. Tujhe Dekha Toh Ye Jana Sanam
This song from DDLJ was also sung by Mangeshkar. Every Bollywood-obsessed kid knows the lyrics to this song but doesn’t forget to pay attention to the strong vocals backing up Kajol. Lata Mangeshkar’s songs were also always in most hit movies.
2. Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna
This song was also a BOP for those who loved Mangeshkar’s voice. The song was way ahead of its time with the catchy lyrics and the alluring tempo. Songs like these get a new life now when we remember the legend.
3. Aap Ki Nazron Ne Samjha
You can’t call yourself a romantic if you haven’t cried to this song at least once. Alternatively, imagine yourself as the 90s heroine with the exaggerated winged liner thinking of their beau. Lata Mangeshkar knew how to capture every song’s feeling immaculately.
This was one of her latest ones starring Shahrukh and Preity Zinta. The song was also a hit when it came out and it still is. It captures your attention every time it plays and transports you to the movie— Dil Se. Again, a hit movie and Lata Mangeshkar’s vocals, what more can one ask for?
Be it the burger kids of today or the boomers who hate today’s new songs, this song is on the lips of all till today. Do yourself a favour and listen to “100 Years of Bollywood”— this song even comes in that! It’s one of the classics.
6. Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum
Did you think we’d forget this? K3G is another Bollywood cult favorite that was powered by Mangeshkar’s vocals. Now that we think about it, how insanely fitting was Lata Jee’s voice in the film? The world will never forget her talent. May she rest in power!

Google Chrome logo has been getting simpler since 2008 with the logo being tweaked in 2011 and 2014. The tech giant is now making subtle changes to the Chrome logo, as shared by Elvin Hu, a designer for Google Chrome.
Elvin Hu, a designer for Google Chrome, offers a first look at the logo’s redesign in a thread on Twitter.
“Some of you might have noticed a new icon in Chrome’s Canary update today. Yes! we’re refreshing Chrome’s brand icons for the first time in 8 years. The new icons will start to appear across your devices soon,” Hu said in a tweet.

The icon has been simplified/flattened by removing the shadows. The colours are brighter and the proportions are different, making the big blue ball in the middle noticeably bigger.
Another subtle change has been made to the colours of the logo. Avery subtle gradient to the main icon between the green and red colours to prevent “ unpleasant colour vibration.
We simplified the main brand icon by removing the shadows, refining the proportions and brightening the colors, to align with Google's more modern brand expression. pic.twitter.com/Hyig51gqJq
Google also is tweaking it further with different variations designed to look more at home on Windows, MacOS and iOS.
“We created OS-specific customizations. We want the icons to feel recognizably Chrome, but also well crafted for each OS. For example, on Windows, the icons take on an obviously gradated look, appearing at home on Windows 10 and 11,” Hu added.
The new Google Chrome logo will be live for users across all devices with the release of Chrome 100 soon.
Explaining the reasoning behind the changes, Hu added, “You might ask, “why bother with something so subtle?”
“We tailor Chrome’s experience to each OS, with features like Native Window Occlusion on Windows, day-one M1 support on macOS, Widgets on iOS/Android, and Material You on Android. We want our brand to convey the same level of care.”

If you scream the word, “COCOMO” in a room, chances are at least two people will reply with “Mujhe Bhi Do.” That’s enough to show you the iconic status of this jingle and the place it holds in our hearts. The iconic jingle of Cocomo which stayed in our memories in the form of #CocomoMujheBhiDo was revived again by Bisconni with a twist. The nation’s heartthrob Asim Azhar was only ten when he sang the original song in the ’90s. So, it is fitting that he was roped in to recreate and sing the new jingle. It goes without saying that after all these years, the song has transported us back into our childhoods. The sweet tune has stayed with us throughout this time so to hear it again is so refreshing.
While at its heart, the jingle remains the same but its treatment and melody have been changed while keeping in mind the current times and the kind of music the current generation enjoys. The new jingle comes with a rap element, plus the eye-popping visuals and colorful animation make it a treat to watch. It’s interesting and exciting and is bound to bring a smile to your face.
The new TVC goes perfectly well with the jingle because of its contemporary feel and the burst of colors that are before you on the screen. The elements of Pac-Man with our friends and sharing a pack of Cocomo do a great job of reflecting on the bygone era and a simpler time when maintaining a high score and getting the last cocomo was our only concern.
It goes without saying Cocomo is a part of all our childhoods because the memory of its creamy filled goodness is something we are fond of even to this day. And I don’t think that will change anytime soon.
Over the years, Cocomo has introduced 3 more flavors along with its double chocolate flavor; Strawberry, Orange, and Milk so we can choose our favorite. Along with the original Rs. 5 pack, Cocomo is also available in Rs. 10, Rs. 25, and Rs.50 packs.
The edge that Cocomo has over other biscuit manufacturers is the chocolate-filled center, which makes it an all-time favorite snack for all ages. Through the TVC and the new jingle, Bisconni has managed to reconnect with people especially the 90’s kids who are young adults now. Its cute, fun, and cheerful jingle appeals to people of all ages because they can relate to it on another level. We all secretly have Cocomo, don’t we ;)?

Hand-made items hold a sentimental value that cannot be matched with anything. The amount of effort which is put into a product makes it worth the wait and money. Not to mention the love people put into creating something new. While the home market is booming and more and more people are trying to sell imported home products. Learning a few ideas and creating something of your own will sure snag you some customers along the way.
It can’t get simpler than this. Sell what you are good at. It doesn’t have to be necessarily baking, cooking, or crafting. It can be something as simple as teaching a language or creating looks for people. Whatever you do, make sure you are good at it and have a passion for it.

Every industry has its industry-specific jokes. And so you will find that the marketing industry has marketing jokes too. But who are the characters most of the time whenever jokes for this sector come up? They could be from the brand side (advertisers as we call them) or an advertising agency that helps the advertiser to do marketing. Sometimes it also includes the customers a product is marketed to. So let’s have a look and be entertained, shall we?
1. The marketing strategy we all know so well
Amateurs would still go for buy one get one free, but all the regular shoppers know that this is just a marketing strategy where they overprice the product and feast on the target market’s psyche. Clever!

2. We all know who is who
An advertising agency or more like the account handler would be able to relate more to this, considering it’s them who have to deal with the client directly. It is a miracle how the design team is actually able to deliver.

3. Every marketing campaign ever?
The sad story of every marketing project ever. If you are privy to the origins of a marketing idea, you would know this is exactly how things proceed (well, most of the time). But hey, at least clients get something close to the product they wanted.

4. When men make marketing campaigns
Be it selling chocolate, or selling a car, when your marketing team is purely male-centric, this is how they come up with ideas. And they might not be wrong, though, because half of the target audience is always men, and men know what men think.
5. Everything is amazing, but…
Anyone who has worked in the design department of an advertising agency would relate to it. When the design department has worked according to the brief down to the T, and yet the client goes like, ‘Oh, but can you make the logo one font size bigger?’

Sometimes these marketing jokes may even get offensive for one party but hey, aren’t all jokes made at the expanse of a particular group? In fact, that’s what makes it funny. But it’s crucial that they do not cross a particular line because we are all grown-ups here, and we should respect others and not create issues. That said, do let us know of any other marketing jokes you may have heard of.

Technology is advancing forward at a swift rate. Where we used to think of dial-up internet, now wireless technology floods the countries. Even 4G has become a thing of yesterday now. The world is looking to invest in 5G technology everywhere. The world runs on silicon chips because they are quite essential. A huge part of the economy is powered by them and we would feel quite troubled without them. However, there has been a continuous global chip shortage for many months now.
This shortage has affected quite a lot of industries. The shipping of smartphones has been reduced because of this chip shortage. Just a few months back, Apple was forced to call back a shipment because of the shortage. Just like that, the graphics card industry has been affected too. Mining is not the only reason that prices have been so hiked up lately, rather the shortage contributes to it too. So, how exactly does this shortage affect the automotive industry?

Chip Shortage In Vehicles
Nowadays, vehicles are integrated with a lot more than just your basic gadgets. Once you put that key in the ignition or press the button, the entire car jumps to life. Alongside this, a plethora of things come to life as well. This includes the entire front deck, which has the infotainment system. Apart from that, the Bluetooth features, as well as the audio assistant and speakers, are all powered up. When all of this happens, you have what is known as a modern vehicle.
However, all of these gizmos and gadgets are powered by a semiconductor chip. This is made of silicon and it is exactly what is in shortage right now. Yes, the automakers are having a difficult time with manufacturing because of this chip shortage. If they compromise on all these features in the car, they will have to reduce the prices of the vehicles. Additionally, a lot of what powers a car is contributed to by the semiconductor chip. We might, as well, enter the previous era if we remove semiconductor chips altogether.

Moving Forward Despite Obstacles
We hope that this shortage does not stay for quite a long time. It has affected business for quite a while now. Brands like BAIC have faced some serious obstacles due to the absence of chips. Even console manufacturers like Sony had to redesign the PS5. In order to do so, they reduced a lot of weight in it and they have changed some of the interior design as well. The aim is to use as little silicon as possible, without lowering the quality.
