WE HAVE
WHAT IT TAKES
From bold brand building to compelling homegrown campaigns, we’ve been turning products into brands and consumers into fans for over 50 years. Our formula is that we’re relentlessly result oriented, but always believe in staying true to the brand. So we challenge ourselves and our clients and go the extra mile to produce the best possible results through a powerful mix of teamwork and diligence.
In this way, we’re not just ad makers and executors, but problem solvers and thinkers. And that is why clients have counted on us for over five decades because they know business as usual is not an option with us.
CAPABILITIES THAT
CREATE IMPACT
ADVERTISING
From content to execution, from large scale print to in-your-hands packaging, from first ideas to finishing touches, we create communications and campaigns that deliver results, stay relevant, build recall and always resonate.
DIGITAL & SOCIAL MEDIA
We create engagement, compelling content and bring audiences to you through our savvy understanding of the digital landscape. In a world of noise, you can be heard loud and clear with us.
MEDIA PLANNING & BUYING
Big print burst or online outreach, jingle on the radio or primetime ad space, we get your brand heard, seen, felt, noticed across both traditional and new media. Because we have the expertise to create spaces where they don’t exist.
PR & ACTIVATION
Helping connect with customers is the catch-all for today’s advertising. But sometimes, it needs an extra leap in the form of PR and activation initiatives to get the buzz going and build loyalty, trial and interest.

AHMED JAMAL MIR
Managing Director & CEO
With a B.A from University of California, Los Angeles, Jamal quickly took over the reins at the advertising business set up by his father. It was a daunting task, but an exciting one and he’s been at the helm ever since. Over three decades, Jamal has managed a whole plethora of clients and big names: GSK, Danone, Sony, Nissan, Milkpak, HBL, Jubilee and along the way he has packed in a ton of experience in managing curveballs and plenty of anecdotes! Outgoing and energetic, he has also enjoyed leadership roles at the American Business Council, Advertising Association of Pakistan, International Advertising Association, NIB Bank, and most recently has been elected Chairman of the All Pakistan Advertisers Association. But for Jamal, it’s not all work and no play. And the play he likes best is the one on the cricket pitch. He’s crazy for cricket and even enjoyed a stint as Media Consultant for the Pakistan Cricket Board. No one can out talk Jamal when it comes to cricket – if you try, expect to be bowled out!
AHMAD KAMAL MIR
EVP & Director Client Service
Equipped with a Bacherlor’s in Finance and Marketing from the American College in London, Kamal came with all the passion, ideas and attention to detail that it takes to lead an advertising business. His flair for making TV commercials saw many a memorable campaign hit our TV screens: from luxury hair with Pantene to a slice of life with Sooper biscuits; from expressing the sentiments of an overseas Pakistani who signs up for the Roshan Digital Account to showcasing the comfort of online banking through HBL Konnect for millions of people across Pakistan. For over 22 years, Kamal has handled a diversity of clients and an ever greater diversity of working styles, and expectations. Emirates, P & G, Toyota, GSK, State Bank of Pakistan are just some of the feathers in his hat. He enjoys life behind the camera - the buzz of the set, the smallest details, the different ways to frame a shot – and even the myriad tribulations of the models and divas he deals with!
MUHAMMAD ZOHAIB AYAZ
Head – Strategic Planning
With a BBA in Marketing from SZABIST and 13 years of experience under his belt, Zohaib wears the strategy hat at Prestige.

And this tech savviness brings more to the table as our clients increasingly move and grow their advertising in the digital space. Combining his love for cricket and tech, he has also developed engaging digital campaigns especially in the realm of sports marketing for the Pakistan Super League- the nation’s biggest cricketing event. Zohaib takes his passion for tech out of the office too – keeping up to date with all the latest techie talk and gadgets.
ERUM KHAJA
Creative Director
Armed with a Bachelor’s in International Relations from Pomona College in California, advertising was not quite on Erum’s mind at the start of her career. But after spending a decade in marketing and brand for an international Oil Marketing Company, she welcomed the idea of sitting on the ‘other’ side of the table. And from then on, whether it’s a catchy line for a print campaign or something short and punchy for a digital post, her firm grasp on the English language is often useful in spicing up content and making it more compelling. Juggling work and life with one teenage and one almost teenage kid, Erum often likes to unwind and escape with a good book or two or three. In fact, during many a work meeting, one can often hear her say, “I read this yesterday in….” And in almost 10 out of 10 cases, it’s true!
SHOAIB BALOCH
Creative Director
With a Marketing Degree from Greenwich University, Shoaib, our unassuming creative director, packs a punch when it comes to experience with over two decades clocked in. From copy writing to scripts to print advertising, he handles multiple areas and his eagle eye in spotting every editorial error imaginable can always be relied on. His dual grasp on Urdu and English make him an invaluable asset when it comes to developing communications and his quiet style lends to getting even the most challenging tasks done and dusted. He has managed campaigns for HBL, Emirates, Abbott, English Biscuits, Jubilee Life and State Bank of Pakistan. In his free time, he has a passion for collecting antiques and artifacts and is fondly known also for his collections of biscuits and nibbles at work!
SAHER SHAKIL HASHMI
Creative Director
With an MBA in Advertising from the IoBM, Saher brings with her 14 years of diverse and compelling experience. Her lively personality and enthusiastic style add to her highly developed script writing skills and thoughtful communications. She has managed an amalgam of clients: EFU, Surf Excel, Kolson, Knorr, Lifebuoy, Wall’s, Bank Alfalah, Morinaga and Glow & Lovely. For Saher, a close contender to the the joy and thrill of rolling out engaging TVCs and campaigns, is the joy and thrill of travel – a new place is like the unfolding of a new brand campaign – something that tells its own story, communicates its own personality and what it has to offer.
SAJID HUSSAIN
Creative Director - Art
Holding a B.Sc from Karachi University and a Diploma in Graphic Designing from CIAC, Sajid’s innate abilities to imagine and visualize a brand don't come from formal learning. He has the artist’s touch to use a cliché and with a quarter of a century’s experience, taking creative rabbits out of a hat is no big deal for Sajid. He has worked on clients including HBL, EBM, Emirates, P&G, Jubilee Life and many others. While he gets a sure kick out of creating advertising within the box or out of the box, he also has passions for kicks of a different kind – namely the beautiful game Football or Soccer – have what you will.
ESHAL MALIK

Eshal holds a Bachelor's in Communication Design from Indus Valley School of Art & Architecture and has completed a design workshop at Parsons, The New School, New York.
