BEYOND MARKETING IN CONVERSATION WITH TEAM RE-START, ONE OF PAKISTAN’S 360 DEGREE BRANDING AGENCIES CATERING TO ALL FACETS OF A COMPANY’S REQUIREMENT!

Explain in one sentence, your company Re-Starts’s mission?

To be the number 1 strategic partner for all our clients by providing a complete 360 degree communication strategy and flawless execution.

SHAHID AKBAR & ALI TARIQ MANAGING PARTNER - FOUNDING PARTNER

What got you interested in starting your own marketing company?

We saw an opportunity in the local market. With media spending increasing and digital taking a larger share every passing year; it is becoming difficult to stay visible amidst a plethora of existing and new brands entering the market. In addition, with the millennials and now generation Z entering the consumer market the communication mediums and strategies need to be very carefully chiseled for brands to remain relevant.

Describe a recent ad campaign that you think worked well.

Well from campaigns we’ve done we feel the “Lahore Lahore Hai” campaign worked extremely well for Packages Mall because it gelled beautifully with the event itself. The campaign gave people an idea of what to expect and what awaited them, it was visually appealing and clear in its message. As for local campaigns we personally liked the PIA Rebranding campaign.

What tools do you use to create ad campaigns?

We use a variety of tools to create campaigns: from research to illustrator and Photoshop to 3D MAX. All tools depend on the campaign’s requirements.

Have you all as a team faced any difficulties ever since you started your company?

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

relevance, organic search results etc. which are also important. Fortunately, there are several tools like Hubspot, Google Analytics, Analytics 360, Hootsuite etc, which are also available to gauge performance.

Every new team faces certain challenges before it finds its rhythm so yes we have faced our own share of hurdles since we started the company and have overcome them successfully like a team.

How do you manage to integrate social media (modern tools) into a national ad campaign (traditional tools)?

We believe in today’s age, one compliments the other. Traditional and digital are two ends of a spectrum, low and high engagement respectively. Way forward is a digital-traditional mix. Everything you do is simply augmented by social media.

Over 52% of our population is under 24, that’s over 100m people. Over 42 m of them are between 15 – 24 years of age.

With the changing demographics and smaller attention spans, the communication strategy has to be hard-hitting and very precise. We feel its imperative to carefully use the audience, content, context and medium for maximum impact.

How do you measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign?

From a corporate viewpoint, standard measurement scale is the ROMI (return on your marketing spend). However, gather-

‘‘WE, AS A POLICY TAKE CRITICAL FEEDBACK POSITIVELY & CONSTANTLY TRY AND UPGRADE OUR PROCESSES TO BRING THEM IN SYNC WITH THE CLIENTS NEEDS.’’ ing precise data is sometimes difficult so results are more often an approximation but continue to evolve. On the social media front, sales and revenue remain important but there are other aspects like brand engagement, visibility, following,

What steps would you take to handle an unhappy client?

There’s no such thing as a perpetually happy client. Everyone, everywhere, across the entire service industry will be unhappy at some point.

It’s just the way it is. We have tried to successfully to minimize this through a policy of complete transparency at every stage, never overcommitting, and of course, always going that extra mile for a client. We, as a policy, also take critical feedback positively and constantly try and upgrade our processes to bring them in sync with the clients needs.

Do you believe that any publicity, even bad publicity, is good publicity?

All publicity is good, it depends on how you manage it.

What advice would you give to young marketers out there?

Climb the ladder through learning, not by falling into the glamorous trap of switching jobs for designation and salary jumps.

#paperazziaboutagirl IN THE FIELD WITH...

anam tanoli MODEL/STYLIST

Who is your best friend?

My brother.

What would you grab if your house was on your fire?

Family portraits, albums and all my pets.

What is your destination for the trip of your dreams?

Frankly, our Northern areas; Skardu, Hunza, Fairy medows are beyond stunning.

When you were little, what did you want to be when you grow up? And do you still want it?

I always wanted to be a singer.

I used to have dreams about being on the stage and hearing fans cheer but that eventually went into the background and now I’m in fashion. Regardless, I will try my luck with music one day.

If you got stuck in the elevator and was forced to listen to only one song, which would it be?

Thats a tough one but i think “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor.

What is the best advice anyone has ever given you?

“If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all.”

Travelling is great fun. You get to explore a new place, meet new people and get wiser! We want to know more and will share with you exciting travel stories from a few special people in our section, planes, trains & automobiles!

Where did you choose to go and why?

I went to Thailand because it is the best place to escape from your hectic routines and relax and unwind yourselves.

This country offers some beautiful beaches and mind boggling islands to sooth your eyes and mesmerize your souls.

Who did you travel with?

I travelled with my husband because he is as crazy and adventurous as I am. We have the perfect chemistry especially when it comes to traveling and he is my personal favorite photographer.

Where did you stay?

I have a handful list of places I stayed at, but I would mention my top favorite ones. In Bangkok we stayed at the Baiyoke

travel diaries

sky hotel; this hotel has 83 floors and a revolving rooftop. It is the tallest building in Bangkok and will definitely give you view goals.

In Koh Samui I booked a beach front villa with escape beach resort. It was here where we witnessed the most amazing sunset ever. We also booked another villa with a private pool and a garden view with privilege hotel Ezra Beach resort.

Apart from the exceptionally amazing villa and customer service, this resort was located on Lamai beach which is a very peaceful and fine-looking beach with lots of eateries nearby.

In pattaya we stayed at Zign Hotel which has its own private beach, pool and spa facilities.

Suggest some amazing restaurants there?

If you are a seafood lover, then Thailand is the place for you.

My personal all-time favorite is The Pizza Company; their pizzas are worth melting for. Try Mahanaga in Bangkok to experience the finest Thai food ever. For desserts my personal favorite was Desserie Sweet Café; they offer the most mouthwatering cheese cakes ever (must try – Macadamia Cheese Cake). And yes, have loads and loads of pineapples and coconut water; you will find them on every other corner of the road.

travel diaries

Any tips?

Since Thailand is a tropical country the weather is warm almost all around the year. The best time to visit is between February and April because there is less humidity. Also don’t forget to keep a pair of flip-flops, sunglasses, sunblock and an umbrella; the weather can be unpredictable at times. If you are seeking adventure you must try parasailing, jet ski, snorkeling and kayaking- I tried every single thing and it was worth every penny we spent. Lastly, enjoy and relax as much as you can!

Suggest places for a perfect night out?

Thailand is known for its happening night life. In Pattaya the must visit place for night life is the walking street. This vehicle free

What can you do over there to relax and unwind?

A trip to Thailand is incomplete without a Thai massage. You will find massage parlors at several intervals all over Thailand.

Nothing beats their foot massage and full body aroma massage. You can also take a dip in the hot springs and relax your soul after a tiring day. And of course, you can always chill and loosen up on the beach and absorb the mesmerizing views.

travel diaries

Tell us about sites no one should miss out on?

If you love historical monuments then you must visit Wat Arun Temple in Bangkok; it is the most stunningly unique temple you will ever witness. Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya; a castle purely hand crafted with wood. Another one that tops the chart is white temple in Chiang Mai; a masterpiece that can’t be missed. Floating Markets in Bangkok is also a great sight for tourists- the unique way of selling things in kayaks, floating on the water is something only offered in this country. Nature lovers must visit the breathtaking waterfall at Mae sa Valley, Khun Korn Waterfall at Bamboo forest and Bua Thong waterfalls. You should also take a day trip to some of the amazing islands that Thailand has to offer. Our top favorites are Phi Phi Island, Koh Tao and National Marine Park.

street is full of cafes, restaurants and bars and amazing music to calm your soul. Coco Tams is our personal favourite beach café in Koh Samui. Bean bags, candle lights, soothing music, lit sky and a beautiful overlooking beach; what more can one ask for? Another must visit is the night market in Koh Samui which happens every weekend; you can take a stroll down the street and enjoy Thai culture along with a variety of food cuisines.

Our fab astrologer Zahid Haider, styles up your stars. Find out what’s in store for you this week!

ARIES (MAR 21- APRIL 20) The full moon at the start of the week could encourage you to drop what you’re doing and go off on an adventure. If you’ve been pining for something different, this influence could inspire you to take action. Even a short break or a few hours in new surroundings can leave you feeling refreshed.

TAURUS (APR 21- MAY 21) Feelings could bubble to the surface this week, and you could reflect on experiences or issues that you may not have thought about for a while. This could be due to Tuesday’s full moon in a more intense sector of your chart. It is encouraging you to process through such emotions and gradually let them go. It may not happen overnight, but given enough time, you can feel great relief.

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) You will be in your element with the sun in your sign, followed by inquisitive Mercury on Tuesday. The coming days and weeks can provide an opportunity to discuss issues that are important to you, especially if you’ve never talked about them before.

These influences can be very life affirming. They can encourage you to start on a plan or project that is deeply meaningful to you, and you can derive great satisfaction from doing so.

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) The sun in Gemini and a more secluded sector of your chart is joined by Mercury on Tuesday, which could connect you to your heart’s desires. The coming weeks could also make you aware of issues and experiences that may have held you back in the past. This can be your chance to process through them and gradually let them go.

(SEPT 24-OCT 23)

(OCT 24-NOV 22)

Tuesday’s full moon in your leisure and romance sector can be an opportunity to let go and really enjoy yourself.

With a long-term focus on your sector of work and service, you have likely experienced a lot of pressure over recent months. This full moon can act like a valve that allows you to let off steam. If you can plan to do something exciting, so much the better. Pull out all the stops and make it worthwhile.

Tuesday’s full moon in your domestic sector could bring a family drama out into the open.

If a key issue has been swept under the carpet, this lunar phase could open things up for discussion. However, it might be just as well to take a sensitive approach to such matters. Being too open and honest could make things even more difficult.

Be mindful of your conversation, especially on Tuesday, the time of the full moon in your sector of communication.

Because it’s in the very open and honest sign of Sagittarius, you might be tempted to tell it like it is, but would this be wise? It might be better to be as diplomatic and thoughtful as possible.

The outcome will likely be better if you can do this.

You might be tempted to go shopping online or at the mall, but the full moon in your money zone at the start of the week could encourage you to splurge.

You could easily get carried away and spend far more than you intend to. If you can set a dollar limit, do so. Otherwise, keep the receipts and paperwork in case you need to return some items.

Tuesday brings a full moon in your sign, which could make you feel larger than life. Feelings may be very much on surface, and it might be easier to express them than keep them in.

Nevertheless, this lunar phase could encourage you to be extremely honest, and this is what could affect more sensitive types. If you need to discuss anything important, try to do so as gently and carefully as possible.

Your dreams could be very vivid in the early part of the week, thanks to the full moon in Sagittarius and a spiritual sector of your chart on Tuesday. It might be worth writing them down because they could hold valuable guidance for you.

Tuesday’s full moon in your social sector could make social events quite boisterous. If you’re attending a party or other occasion, things could get very lively. If you love dancing and socializing, you should have a really good time.

Indeed, this could be a much-needed opportunity to let off some steam.

You could be in the spotlight with a full moon in Sagittarius and a more prominent sector of your chart on Tuesday. This could be an opportunity to discuss something important in public and make your feelings known.

Once others understand how you truly feel, it could make quite a difference in an awkward situation. Be sure to always act with sensitivity and decorum, though, because people will be watching you.
