Television Advertising is a Fascinating Profession for MBAs
February 24, 2016
Mr. Asad Rizvi, Managing Director Walter Pakistan, delivered a session on Advertising to an MBA class of Marketing Strategy on 27 January 2016 at the Lahore School of Economics. As always, he received both complete attention and deep gratitude of the young and eager MBA participants.
Asad informed them that he had been in the advertising industry since 1995, and had never looked back.
