AOA, brother,
How are you?
Fine, my brother.
What is the rate for a quarter-page front-page ad? Combined?
First of all, Imran Bhai, our size is not 27×4, it’s 15×8.
And is it for weekdays or the weekend? Because the rates are different.
It will run on weekdays.
Hold on, brother; your ad will cost xxxxx..
Thank you, brother. Do visit the office sometime.
Certainly, next week, InshaAllah.
This gentle and soft voice belonged to Dawn’s sales maestro, Adnan Saqib. I called him countless times for rates, and he always made things easier by calculating rates promptly. Although not many of the ads we discussed materialized, Adnan is a gem of a person.
I often thought, had Adnan been in the field of education, he might have been a vice-chancellor of a university by now. In my opinion, Adnan seemed somewhat of a misfit in media sales. I have rarely seen such an honest, well-mannered, and up-to-date media salesperson. Adnan devoted the prime years of his life to Dawn.
The culture at Dawn has always been as refined as any multinational organization. I hope Adnan truly enjoyed his 28-year innings at Dawn. Wherever you go, Adnan, may you always be successful. Our prayers are with you for good health, safety, and more achievements.
You always promised to visit our office, but that time never came. Please find time to visit us now.
May Allah always protect and support you.
Adnan Saqib announced his farewell to Dawn through a Facebook post:
‘My journey of 28 years with Dawn Media Group comes to an end on December 20, 2024. Thanks to my seniors, colleagues, friends, especially Advertising Agencies who support me. Retirement from Dawn Media Group is an unforgettable experience.’
