Introduction:

Procter & Gamble started its operations in Pakistan in 1991 with the goal of becoming
the finest global local consumer goods company operating in Pakistan. With commitment
came growth, and in 1994 we acquired a soap-manufacturing facility, a sprawling 7-acre land
at Hub, Balochistan and in 2010 established a state-of-the-art laundry detergent plant at Port
Qasim, Karachi.

As a company they have always believed in the potential Pakistan has as a country and a
nation to develop and excel. No wonder P&G Pakistan, within the last 12 years, has
reinvested over $150 million in Pakistan and has contributed close to seven billion rupees to
the Pakistani government's revenues over the last 5 years in the form of sales tax, customs
and excise duties. That is also why 80% of the jobs that P&G Pakistan creates in Pakistan are
held by Pakistanis. All this makes P&G a more locally involved company than many
companies actually headquartered in Pakistan.

Since the inception of P&G Pakistan, they have always committed ourselves to business
growth, consumer satisfaction and community development.

Head & Shoulders (H&S) is an American brand of anti dandruff and non
dandruff shampoo produced by parent company Procter & Gamble that was introduced in

competitive Pakistani shampoo market which is estimated to be worth around Rs 1800 crore,
Head & Shoulders is a major player in the Anti-Dandruff niche.

hence we can state that H&S delivers good customer value and satisfaction level.

geography, pshychography or life style. But being an FMCG product a shampoo brand like
H&S the demographic and geographic segmentation is not as important as it based upon the

of physiological mentality of this user group with adopting ads where prominent actors were
