Who is the leader of the leading Marketing Agencies?

We all learn at every stage of our lives, we learn in our school, we learn in our college, we learn from family and we learn from work too. One of my colleagues told me yesterday that most of the biggest advertising agencies of the world operate in Pakistan but they are not independent here, they have merged or are affiliated with the leading local agencies such as Interflow, Prestige and Orient.



J. Walter Thompson, Ogilvy & Mather, Grey, Saatchi and Saatchi and few others are contributing a lot in growing the advertising industry of Asia, and particularly Pakistan.

But do you know that all the agencies in the end are One?


 WPP is a world leader in marketing communications. Its a company that own most of the advertising agencies of the world, JWT, Ogilvy and Mather, Grey, INGO, Clickworks, ADK, Yolk etc, all come under the name of WPP.





WPP is a public limited company and currently its stock quote is:

I reckon WPP bought some of the agencies and it is the founder of some agencies too. As Apple is a market leader in technology, Google is the most innovative website, Amazon is amazing in its own field, in the same way WPP is the prime, most powerful and the most prosperous company in the world of adverting agency.

Newspaper advertisements are reality...

Image
In June an Account Manager at the company where I am doing an internship asked me the sizes of Newspaper ads. I didn’t tell him the sizes… Why?  Because I did not know that newspaper ads have any  fixed size . I used to believe that the size of ad is according to the wish of the client/company but I was wrong, there are fixed sizes set by the Newspaper Publishing Companies. An Account Manger is an  Advertising Agency  is not the person who works in finance, it’s the person who manages different accounts. Accounts here mean Clients. So an account manager is a person who manages different clients. In Pakistan all the leading newspapers,  Jang ,  The News ,  DAWN ,  Express  etc have 8 columns in there newspaper. And the height of the page is 57 cm approx.                                            An ad that c...

Kingdom, where Tarang Rules

Image
Tarang Vs. CupShup Eid is over, and now we are expecting a tough war between Tarang and CupShup. CupShup and Tarang belong to the category of Liquid Tea Whiteners, and they both target the middle-class and low middle-class customers. The latest entrant, Dalda’s CupShup, doesn’t know that it has entered the Kingdom where, Tarang is the Ruler. Over the period of years, Tarang has positioned itself as a cheap alternative of milk in tea. The bright colors, endorsement of unattractive film actors, bracing music, traditional dance and everything, that can attract the uncultured community of Pakistan, comes to our mind when we hear the word Tarang. On the other hand, CupShup targeted the customers who are family oriented, struggling for a better standard of living and are more learned and aware. Tarang is targeting the community that we want to get rid of however; CupShup is targeting the families who are struggling for a better life. Moreover, Tarang...

Zong- Dead, Reborn or Lost

Image
With a 20% market share in telecom sector and over 3 million 4G subscribers, Zong takes to the skies. Amber Arshad writes in Aurora that even though Zong has re-branded it self, its still a question whether it will be able to conquer new heights or it will drown. Adil Mirza - COO of D’Hamidi Partnership, Zong's creative agency died recently because of brain hemorrhage. Obviously, handling such an active account is not a simple task. People are also thinking now, if Zong is going to change its agency or not. Zong's current brand identity has fuchsia and lime green colors, while the key message is 'A New Dream'. At one place where we don't doubt the invincible services of Zong, at the same time we get confused of their target group. Umar Tanvir , Marketing Manager, Zong tried to make it clear by stating, "...the brand image needed to move from an ‘awami ’ brand to a premium one. Our target market shift...
