In light of the recent controversy surrounding Nargis Fakhri’s ad featured in Pakistani Urdu newspapers, Ufone saw an opportunity, spoofed the ad and took the cake.

Although it lacks the ups and downs seen in the original ad, this one sure does tickle the funny bone. It cleverly states in fine print, ‘you won’t need to read this newspaper discreetly’.

Urdu newspaper ad featuring Nargis Fakhri sparks outrage on social media

We’re bowled over by this brilliant marketing gimmick and so are Pakistanis as they took to Twitter to applaud Ufone and Faisal Qureshi.


However, Quetta wasn’t too keen on the idea:


Earlier, Nargis disclosed that she was shocked by her ad and shared her side of the story. “As a model or celebrity, I have always believed in using my persona to help further a brand’s communication but never to have it used where I end up being objectified for my looks,” said the actress.

Journalists had openly condemned the ‘obscenity’ of Nargis’ seemingly innocent ad that simply showed a woman lying down with a phone in her hand.

A well thought response to cheap BS marketing. Mobilink's marketing sucks as usual and Ufone keeps beating them in this area as usual. If I was Mobilink's CEO I would kick out the whole marketing department.

Whats was so controversial about that. That thing is very very common here when featuring superstars and news about them or thier story life.

Never tried Ufone service in my whole life yet, but no one can beat them in the marketing field, they are supernaturals in it.

 

[Vapnope]

Troll level = Ufone

 

[graphican]

Creative Trolling. Ufone has beaten Mobilink big time.

Just clever marketing capitalizing on trumped up furor, nothing else. Good move!
