Boxer Amir “King” Khan and Pakistan National T20 captain Shahid Afridi recently featured together in a commercial for Warid Telecom’s new Double Faida Campaign.
Promoting Warid’s “Lightning Tez Internet”, 4G LTE, the two Warid brand ambassadors featured together for the first time in a tv commercial. The Double Faida Offer grants access to free internet at blazing speed from 1 am to 9 pm, along with double the volume of mobile data on selected LTE bundles at their original price.
In another digital promotion for the campaign, a young fan while taking an autograph from Shahid Afridi, asked him the difference between 2G, 3G, and LTE. Afridi responded with an interesting analogy. He compared 2G internet to a test cricket match, where players play all day, without any result. 3G is more like a one-day match, while Warid LTE is like a T20 match and like Afridi’s signature “Boom Boom” batting style: aggressive and fast. Prior to this, Afridi (as a Warid brand ambassador) also performed in Warid’s 4G launch campaign earlier this year.
Warid 4G LTE currently the highest number of 4G subscribers in Pakistan.
