These are the most popular brands on social media in Pakistan

Before social media was all the rage, brands used to advertise their products on primarily print media or broadcast TV. However, social media is helping brands increase their reach significantly. Restaurants, food brands, electronic gadgets and smartphone manufacturers, and telecom giants all rely on social media to stay in touch with their followers. Not only this they rely strongly on this medium to market their forthcoming products.
