Celcom Broadband| Selling connectivity



Selling connectivity was seen as an easy task as i over and over again discussed with some creative heads... think again the shit advertised by STC, DU, Mobily is not creative. Wake up and please stop using ready made victor icons of social media.

Prajwala|A prostitute only becomes one when you hire her.



You don't need a network ad agency to tell a straight forward messages. Small shops for some reason are doing better.



This ad campaign done for a NGO called Prajwala, which deals with human-trafficking/prostitution. They spread awareness and also provide care for rescued girls. We had kept the copy in a clean font and background, but the client wanted it to be more visually appealing. They were put up in railway stations/truck stops/taxi stops.

Why you should not pay me 15% media commission !?!?





[MBU] listen before its too late


  • Media planning & buying rising cost. MBU are media incentive driven not brand objectives.

  • MBU's  recommend expenditure in a medium that would best benefit them by ignoring emerging new media. Stands very true when you see the portion of innovative media or special operation in any media plan.

  • To reduce costs on all fronts, cut the additional layer. Buy media directly and have the balls to commit to 12 months investment and get your AVR (4-8%).

  • Use ATL and focus on initiating a dialogue with your users . Something MBU's don’t believe in, they think hammering MASS audience will get brands somewhere... it does not.

  • Lack of ‘value add’ in planning.. get your own media audit and analysis software’s/ links.

  • To me most important is return on investment on each $ spent and why I don’t get an army of journalists as my brand advocators as long I am paying their salaries with my ads.
