Educating the Youth: High quality education is the right of every Pakistani. Most of the time this right does not see the light of the day due to many factors, and one of them is the high cost of education. Mobilink has decided to help out those deserving students or organizations however it can. Keeping the above necessity in mind, Mobilink has offered various donations to numerous educational institutes. This includes donating 50 computers to the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, donating Rs. 100,000 to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences to set up a computer lab, and by sponsoring the commemorative ceremony for the golden jubilee of cadet College Hasanabdal.

Positioning strategy: Positioning involves a decision to stress only certain aspects of our brand and not others. The key to positioning strategy is that the consumer must have a clear idea of what your brand stands for in the product category and that a brand cannot be sharply and distinctly positioned if it tries to be everything to everyone. A brand position is the set of associations the consumer has with the brand. These may cover physical attributes, lifestyle, use occasion or user image that it carries. A brand position in a consumers mind is a relative concept, in that it refers to a comparative assessment by the consumer of how this brand is similar to or different from other brands that compete it.
