Event: The Marketing Association of Pakistan (MAP) Annual Dinner & Award Ceremony, held on 5th March 2010 @ The PAF Museum, Karachi.

SpaceWriter Pakistan's portable LED displays were used as "DIGITAL BANNERS" at MAP's most important event of the year.

"This demonstrates just how versatile our displays are. The Marketing Association of Pakistan wanted to do something out of the ordinary and the idea to use these displays as a non-traditional sponsorship banner at their event was really appreciated by the sponsor organizations. Thats why each D-Banner at the event was sponsored by multiple organizations," said Sania Habib, Sim4Com's marketing officer.

If you visited Lahore or Rawalpindi in Ramadan, you would have surely heard about, or even seen, our unique LED displays that created such a ‘Wow factor’ that they soon became the ‘talk-of-the-town’. Our spherical LED displays with a 360⁰ viewing angle, called iBalls were used by Omore Ice Cream for BTL activities in Lahore’s Liberty Market & Rawalpindi’s Commercial Market.

“As soon as we parked and got out of the car, my son noticed the Omore logo, brightly rotating on this display and literally dragged us to the stall for ice cream,” said Mr. Ahsan Khalid, who had come to Liberty market, with his family, for Eid Shopping.

SPACEWRITER PAKISTAN @ POGEE 2009

2009-05-31T08:55:00.000-07:00

Right after the inauguration, on our first day of the Petroleum Oil and Gas Expo event, I was approached by an elderly gentleman with a serious question. He asks: “What does petroleum and gas exhibition have to do with this technology of yours on display?”

I could see that he was trying to tie it all up in his mind and perhaps saw the technology as something “irrelevant” not fitting in with the general theme. But when I explained about SPACEWRITER PAKISTAN holding its position there in the Expo as the digital media partner of the event organizers providing a much needed branding solution from the exhibitor’s point of view, adding to the overall scheme of the event a touch of décor with a class, he immediately shook his head in approval and smiled with an understanding.

Quiet honestly … whether it is the sector of oil and gas, IT, FMCG, Media, Education, Medicine or Hi-Fashion, people require a branding solution which can enhance the company attributes, make the image stand out in a bold manner, highlight the product line along with mission statements and say it all out loud tastefully. SpaceWriter Pakistan is actually a company that can deliver all of that and then some.

Expo events contribute heavily to the creative side of me as I often see nothing but possibilities when it comes to branding a product line or two. With an amazing lineup, SpaceWriter is heading in the right direction talking the language of every advertiser on the block and businessman looking for an affordable solution which can get the job done. Whether one is sitting down or standing up, attending the concert, a wedding, a ball game, a reunion, an Expo event or simply taking a stroll on a Sunday afternoon passing by the downtown district just window shopping, chances are SpaceWriter has a product that will spike the interest and assists one in the decision making process at the actual time of sale.

POGEE was simply no exception. The exhibitors in the immediate vicinity approached at our station in intrigue, and in few cases, along with the CEOs of the company, to ask me how a branding solution can be organized for them using an LED based technology which we had on display. We not only gave presentations to the visitors and explained how the technology works, but co-exhibitors gave SpaceWriter an unsolicited thumbs-up which assisted during the time that we were there.

The future for SpaceWriter appears much brighter than our super-bright LEDs.

SPACEWRITER AT CONNECT 2009

2009-05-14T02:25:00.000-07:00

"Like a gourmet chef, sitting in anticipation, anxiously waiting for people’s reaction after introducing a new dish"

This is exactly how one may describe the condition of the SpaceWriter Pakistan team, just before the inaugural ceremony of the Connect IT 2009, Pakistan’s premier B2B exhibition showcasing cutting-edge information and technology products and services.

SpaceWriter Pakistan was privileged to be the official digital media partner for the event, which was held at the Karachi Expo Centre from the 5^th – 7^th of May 2009.

Our newest range of LED-based digital display products, strategically placed at various points inside the Expo Centre, brightly displayed animated logos and associated messages in full-colour.

The event turned out to be a stunning success. Crowds after crowds of people gathered around these spinning LED displays, trying to speculate the exact mechanics behind the iBall 300, iBall 500 and Wallscreen. Wild guesses were thrown and opinions were submitted, with such conviction that the SpaceWriter team were quite amused. Even the IT Minister, Mr. Raza Haroon, intrigued by these ultra-low-cost digital displays asked a number of questions upon his visit to the SpaceWriter Pakistan stall.

The next event, POGEE, which starts from May 18^th through 21^st, holds even more promise for SpaceWriter Pakistan. Our LED-based digital branding technology remains a powerful ally for businesses, encouraging marketing managers to “say it out loud, in a different way each time”, in a world where mission statements, taglines and messages reflect the creativity and dynamism of a company.

The time has come for Pakistani businesses to embrace a new LED based advertising medium and build their campaigns around this ultra low cost display technology, which is just as fashionably cool as the people who promote it.

As SpaceWriter Pakistan's CEO, Mohammed Ali Millwala, stated during an interview with the media, "with the launch of low-cost LED displays, SpaceWriter Pakistan has started, what will soon be known as the digital media revolution in Pakistan's advertising industry."
