Why is advertisement industry in Pakistan still in an underdeveloped stage?

Unfortunately guys, its true. Our advertisement industry is underdeveloped. That is because of many reasons. Like:-
1- lack of resources:- even though we have talent but we don't have required technology to make our ads. We have to go to other countries for final assembling of ads.
2- heavy influence of Indian Media - In celebrity endorsements, or as brand ambassador, we still prefer to see Indian celebrities. Its not a bad thing, but it is eating up our advertising industry. See now one campaign of Lux with Katrina Kaif which is made in india, is running successfully in Pakistan because our public wants to see thus it is selling our products.
3- low risk takers:- Our advertising agencies can't take risk with bringing in innovations or adding creativity. The reason is that advertisers demand for 'clear message' to be shown in their ad which is will not confuse their audience.
Alot of progress has been seen in advertising and some brands like Telenor,Olper etc are also running really successful campaigns but unfortunately, those are not made in Pakistan and most of the people in Pakistan don't know about it :/

Have you seen U-fone Ad's ... I think they should be documented and taught to the marketing students as Case Studies ....

As far as the whole industry ... Its improving with more good Ads having good humor and Graphics ... Hence creating a competitive environment to benefit over all advertisements' standards ....

In my opinion This competitive environment is the main DOOR towards Developed stage ... which in my opinion is OPEN now ....

Well i dont think advertisement industry is in underdeveloped stage seriously... Come to my city(rwp),have a ride on murre road, u'll find more billboards den ppl around ... :P ;)

I thibk we need to work on it. The industry is under-developed. I agree.

yep .. i agree advertisement industry is in the initial phase here in Pakistan .... i think it is because of less investment in that domain, people are trying to find cheap advertisement (example is the ads which cable operator are running) ...

I Think you have rightly pointed out those reasons as main culprits. I Think we need 1 bold client in each category to make a difference in creativity and innovation. Our companies have a herd mentality, if one company innovates the rest follow suit. So sort of creating a band wagon effect in each industry.
Also, Advertising Industry has taken a major hit from worldwide recession, Rising Costs and Political Instability resulting in Country wide slashes in marketing budgets. This means the clients and the agencies, all are looking for safer alternatives.
But i cant agree more with the aforementioned reasons.

coz our ideas,themes and creation is not getting much expoure and we not simply lack anything 4 it
