Telenor, through this Telenor Rawaan ad established that they aren’t a telecom operator anymore. They are beyond that – redefining customer relationship and interacting with customers on a more personalized level. Telenor is well on its way to become a fully-fledged Digital company, a fact consolidated by its acquisition of the 4G network.

Delivers the underlying message of roam, explore, acknowledge and respect each & everything about Pakistan. Amazingly beautiful sceneries, tombs, forts, deserts, glaciers and mountains – Telenor Rawaan ad has it all.
