While
working as Director Public Relations for Pakistan
Air Force, I was tasked to establish an
advertising agency for 'Shaheen Foundation' at Islamabad. This
provided a unique opportunity to organize and setup 'HAWK
Communications
& Advertising Consultants' from a scratch.
As the pioneering General Manager (1997- 1999) for HAWK,
I gathered a Talented bank of Creative and Professional people, Provided
them with plush facilities and the best hardware and software to make
a creative atmosphere.Our Activites included Television
Productions, Organizing Entertainment Events, Product Launches and Promotions,
Press Coverage, Holding Seminars / Conferences, Providing Outdoor Publicity
and Direct Marketing.
HAWK became a member of 'Pakistan Advertising Association'
and subscribed to 'All Pakistan News Paper Society', 'Pakistan Television
Corporation', 'Network Television Marketing', 'Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation',
'Shaheen Pay TV', 'Entertainment Network' and 'FM 100'.
During this period a challenging venture came up to run
an independent television channel on 'Shaheen Pay TV (SPTV)'. The 'Family
Channel' was organized and put on air for 'Test - Transmissions' on the
14th of August 1997. The transmissions ran for two years.
Hawk also Won a number of renowned clients in open competition.
These include :
Pakistan Postal Service, Heavy Mechanical Complex, Civil Aviation Authority,
Shaheen Air, Pakistan Air Force and numerous others.
