DESCRIPTION: A common rule in the advertising world is that, to be successful, an advertisement must capture its target audiences attention immediately. For this reason, advertising agencies use new and creative methods to promote their products in previously untapped markets. Recently, Pakistani firms have started catering to the more conservative segments of society. The first product implying this evolving market trend is Sunsilks shampoo for covered hair. Though such products have existed in other Muslim countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Egypt (introduced as Safe Hair-shampoo designed for veiled women), the Pakistani market is comparatively new but highly accepting of this new trend, according to Fareshteh Aslam, Brands and External Communications Manager Unilever Pakistan Sunsilk launched its Lively Clean and Fresh shampoo for covered hair in Pakistan around two months ago and the product has been highly successful. The launch of this shampoo in Ramadan proved fruitful for the brands image as well as the product, it was being planned for many months.

THEME: In this commercial HBL uses the Mr. Bean look alike to portray the simplicity of using HBLs various services such as phone banking and to create some humor around the brand. As always, Mr. Bean, his out of order phone compelled him to cut through the neighbors wall to use their phone, but this time he carried out a phone banking transactioneffortlessly! DESCRIPTION:

Characteristic Mr. Bean-styled comic acts woven into HBLs alternate delivery channel (ADC) commercials that were on the airwaves for 6 weeks throughout the ICC World Cup Tournament 2011, and a little after that. ADC services offer banking customers the benefit of operating and managing their account in a convenient way, and include ATM services, debit cards, phone banking, internet, mobile and online banking. HBLs commercials for these were based on the insight that a dominant perception about technology is that its difficult to use and a person has to be smart to be able to get the hang of it. In a bid to clear this perception, the bank decided to go with a campaign that illustrates the use of ADCs through the hands of a simplistic user, positioning them as convenient services that simplify banking. Hence, a revolutionary concept in financial institution advertising in Pakistan was born, and the Mr. Bean lookalike was considered perfect for this task, explains HBLs marketing team. These ads generated a lot of buzz for the bank, as well as the character who has shot into prominence as Pakistani Mr. Bean.
