Dear Sir,

I am glad to present you the internship report titled “Different Campaigns of Pathao Ltd.” which
was assigned to me as a required curriculum for the completion of my BBA program curriculum.
It was my utmost pleasure to work under your active and direct supervision.

I worked as Intern of communications and content in the Marketing Team where I was assigned
with various responsibilities of content writing and communications under the supervision of
Muhammad Muhtasim Jawad, Specialist, Content and Communications.

From the almost two month of work experience, I was able to handle a great deal of pressure and
quickly grasped the organizational culture of Pathao. Moreover, it gave me both academic and
practical exposure of the fastest growing ride sharing company’s organizational environment.

I shall be highly obliged if you are kind enough to receive this report and provide your valuable
judgment. It would be my immense pleasure if you find this report useful and informative to have
an apparent perspective on the issue.

Sincerely,

I am greatly appreciative to all of the Superiors and colleagues for their support. All of them were
very forthright and helpful throughout my internship period.
Executive Summary

Pathao Ltd. is the fastest growing technology startup in Bangladesh having services across Ride
sharing, Food delivery, Parcel and Courier verticals. The company was founded in 2015 by a group
of young entrepreneurs which quickly became a nationwide brand and cult. The company was
recently funded by Gojek, an Indonesia based motorcycle ride sharing company. Initially, the
company started its operations as a parcel delivery company with an android application for the
service delivery process. The company quickly resorted to the aforementioned verticals and is now
the leading player in the ride sharing market for motorcycles and quickly over taking the cars ride
sharing market from Uber South Asia, recently acquired by Singapore based Grab. The
competition will be fierce in the coming few months. Pathao was able to break the game in the end
of 2016 where the technology touched millions and now is a part of everyone’s life, whether
anyone is commuting to work or simply ordering food from home.

As a content writer and analyst and having significant exposure to marketing theories, I have
highlighted how Pathao became a brand through all the marketing content that binds all of their
milestones and notable communications.

Facebook is the only platform where companies, even before they are officially launched are
incepted to let people know how a company should function and the services they can offer. Except
this, I have also highlighted all my content related work and the integrated campaigns that I have
worked on. The report focuses on the different content that I wrote and worked on, with
explanation as to how the page engaged with the massive audience from 5th June to 1st August,
2018. Along with that, there is also a significant emphasis on how the company functions across
all its verticals, i.e. Pathao Rides, Pathao Food and Pathao Parcel. Being a content writer and
promotion planner at the marketing team, there were significant responsibilities where content
creation is the primary objective following Pathao’s brand guidelines and keeping the Pathao style
across all the content that has been sent out to communicate across online and offline mediums.

Finally, I have offered some recommendation as to how Pathao, as a brand can communicate in a
more efficient way rendering their service delivery process by keeping their communications
warm, humane and friendly.

Introduction
Pathao is Bangladesh’s quickest growing technology startup backed by variety of international
investors. It has developed app based mostly tangible solutions to counter the country’s biggest
infrastructural issues. When establishing themselves to be the most important e-commerce delivery
company in the country, it has enlarged into the ride-hailing transportation area and food delivery
service. employing a dynamic fleet of motorbikes and cars, the company is providing solutions by
harnessing the ability of technology to alter the face of the country.

Pathao, the startup started by Hussain M. Elius transports merchandise and other people on bikes
and cars – to beat traffic and supply economical business solutions. It’s essentially the Go-Jek of
Bangladesh, and it’s growing quick, creating thousands of visits and orders daily once launching
in 2015. The company additionally received investment price $2 million from Go-Jek on a series
A funding.

This report has been prepared to introduce the social media campaigns run by Pathao in
Bangladesh. With the help of the knowledge I gathered from past two months working here in
content and communications team I tried to emphasize on how Pathao differs from its competitors
in the field of social media campaigns.

Company Profile

Pathao Parcel (aka. Fulfillment) is that the mother ship of Pathao wherever as Pathao Rides and
Pathao Food are the secondary varieties of delivery service involving humans and food. The
company provides supply support to its customers by connecting the net stores with their
customers. Domestic E-commerce businesses i.e., Daraz.com.bd; Ajkerdeal.com etc. uses Pathao
fulfillment services to deliver the products brought through their sites on to the client face to face.

1|P age
The services offered through this vertical of business include: cash-on-delivery (COD); reverse
supply (which could be a come to sender/origin support); 24-hour client service. customers profit
through the value-added convenience of products being delivered to their home, and businesses
profit by not having to borne immense delivery prices and giving customers an added service. The
integrated app uses a mobile-friendly interface that allows users to access the services on any
platform: internet, computer, mobile, and a 24-hour client service implies that customers will have
their issues sorted at any hour of the day.

Pathao Rides is a transport service provided by the business, which is more like a motorcycle and
car taxi, similar to Uber and Go-Jek. It works through the official Pathao app available in both iOS
and Android platforms. Anyone looking for a ride simply logs into the app, selects where they
wish to be picked up from and where they want to be dropped. A map will appear in the app
showing the location of the pick-up and destination point, the estimated time of arrival and the
estimated fair. The interface is user-friendly and the convenience of selecting the exact location
gives an added benefit to the consumer. The rates are extremely competitive and much lower than
autorickshaws, plus it saves passengers a lot of time. Pathao Rides charges a base fare of Tk. 25
for the first 2 kilometers and Tk. 12 for each kilometer in addition to a charge of 0.5 Tk. per minute.
Even though the rates may seem expensive at a glance, the convenience of faster travel and
avoidance of traffic makes it worthwhile. The Pathao Rides operations are shared by the Pathao
Chairmanbari office and Pathao HQ at Gulshan-2.

The Pathao Food is that the latest addition to Pathao’s growing business verticals. the company
has quickly achieved adding 3000+ restaurants across the capital associated guarantees delivery in
an hour. the company in the main functions by victimization their fleet of freelancing riders and

distributes the food orders equally to the purchasers awaiting food at their homes. Pathao Food has
quickly ready to gain the market share wherever the food delivery market is very saturated by
native and international players like Foodpanda, Hungrynaki and Harriken. However, because of
robust infrastructure and having a robust fleet of freelancers, the food service is premium and
offers delivery times that's lesser than its competitors.

The Rationale of the Study
In our education system we still believe in memorization of theories and writing it in our exam
sheets like machine. However, BRAC University let its students get the taste of the actual world
outside the bookish theories by this internship. Students go through at least three-month long
internship program to experience what is happening in the real business world and try to
incorporate their knowledge and learn from the companies as well in which they are doing their
internship. In this report I tried my best to show what I learned from Pathao Ltd from past 3 months.
Moreover, my knowledge from textbook and knowledge I gained from the company-I tried to
mingle these two things in the entire report. Here, in the report, I have tried to show the online
promotional and marketing strategies which have worked as the key success factors of Pathao Ltd
Bangladesh. In this report, I have mentioned Pathao’s online promotional strategies along with
network channels and my responsibilities as content writer of the marketing team. This report may
be used for farther research or to know about Pathao’s marketing and branding activities. It will
be helpful for the Interns to write their report on Pathao in future.

The Objective of the Report


Primary Objective:
This report is required for the completion of the BBA Program of BRAC University. Therefore,
this is the primary objective to complete the degree.

Secondary Objective:
The secondary objectives are mentioned below:

 To apply theoretical knowledge in the working field.


 To observe the working environment of an organization with the corporate manner.
 To gain knowledge of marketing practices.
 To get the idea of how new services are provided to the customers in an effective manner.
 To know the overall market condition for service industry.

10 | P a g e
Activities Undertaken

From the above outline, we can see that the marketing team fundamentally works by bringing
down various IMC (Integrated Marketing Communication) designs in multi month. The sum may
fluctuate yet these plans are given by all the contrary gatherings of Pathao going from Product
group to bicycle back group. On the off chance that there's any request of any sensibly IMC
execution by the other group aside from the advancing group, at that point messages are sent
keeping the advancing group in cc with the individual advancing supervisor inside the circle. The
advancing supervisor pushes these messages to the individual substance procedure group and once
the system has been set, the look group draws in with the look of the substance particularly adjusted
to the look request crosswise over on-line and disconnected mediums. Once the styles are readied,
group computerized distributes the substance crosswise over Facebook, Google, Instagram and
distinctive accomplice fast sites. Finally, group actuation renders those substance into printable
material and utilizations them for outside publicizing and BP enactment.

11 | P a g e
The marketing team is an incredible resource and furthermore bears noteworthy cost over all the
Pathao's verticals. Just to achieve 1 million application introduces in google play store, the group
advanced needed to spend a tremendous measure of promoting cash just on Facebook and GDN
adverts.

The Following Tasks Was Performed by Me While Working in Pathao:


My core responsibility was to provide good contents while Pathao was running different
campaigns. Some of those campaigns are-

Pathao Safety and Emergency Campaign:


We used encouraging words and shared our images while using seatbelt or helmet to encourage
riders and users to use them to avoid road accidents. During the entire campaign we used a hashtag
which was #movingsafely. We even provided riders and users free helmet.

Pathao Pay Shooting Script


Pathao Pay was introduced while I was working in Pathao.I was assigned with writing scripts for
shooting small dramas and videos which contained how to use Pathao Pay, what are the benefits
of using it etc.

Weekly Content Comparison of Different Ride Sharing Companies:


Another core responsibility of mine was doing weekly content comparison of different ride sharing
companies to understand our position.

12 | P a g e
Sending Promo to Sylhet, Chattogram
All Pathao users know Pathao provide different promos to its users. I was responsible for sending
promos in Sylhet and Chattogram. Moreover, when they will go, How much should be the
percentage these were planned and scheduled by me.

Worked on Project Annex


The most important business impact of this campaign was that user onboarding will be less costly
and Pathao will be able to create a new way of drivers earning by referring users. In addition to
this, onboarded users from this medium will be more stable. Pathao also be able to reduce
dependency on third parties. If Pathao can run this campaign successfully and make its user base
stable then it won’t need to burn more on promo.

Uthao Campaign
Pathao provided helicopter service to its top users by picking them through raffle draw during Eid
Ul Fitr to make their journey to home hustle free and memorable. I wrote contents for this
campaign as well.

13 | P a g e
Different Seasonal Campaigns
Pathao run different seasonal and special day campaign. I had to write contents for those individual
campaigns both for social media and blog.

14 | P a g e
Moreover, writing content for driver app which was related to road safety, traffic rules, contacting
with users, riders if they had any complain was my responsibility as well.

The Learning and Challenges I Faced at The


Workplace
Work at Pathao has its challenges and opportunities. When I joined, I was bombarded with work
in such a manner that I had to work late from the very first day. That time marketing team lacked
members in the team as some of my colleagues were on leave, heavy content creating pressure was
on me. Except that, most of the content principles and formulae was not clear and vivid. The
marketing team was quite young with only a handful of individuals who were experimenting with

15 | P a g e
their ideas. The content team consisted of myself, Mr. Muhammad Muhtasim Jawad and
Ms.Anulekha Chowdhury.. Thus, I had to learn a lot in a week and provide consistent content to
my managers and the top management even though I was not formally provided an orientation.
Thus, I was drowning in deep water as to where and how I should create unique content. But
slowly, I got a great grasp of all the culture that moves Pathao as an organization.

While I was being interviewed by my dearest Manager Ms. Sayeda Nabila Mahabub, I was quick
and spot on to impress her with my articulated answers. I was hired immediately. The transition
from a new recruit to an intern with a little knowledge is a challenge. I had to go through these
challenges and had to keep pace with all the work being thrown at me.

Pathao is Bangladesh’s first tech company that is solely based on logistics and has that tech culture
deeply embedded into its offices. The office culture is wonderful and warm where anyone can
move around freely and take on any project they are willing to work on. The office time is flexible
and you can find interns, part-timers and people working as late as 10 pm.

Regarding the marketing team, there are several challenges I faced specifically as a content writer.
The statements are given below:
 The brief about the content is often not provided and the content writer has to formulate
the initial ideation himself/herself.
 The marketing team lacked a proper content calendar as to how all the content should have
been initially strategized and distributed among the content creators.
 The workload is often not distributed.
 Content is king. The company is struggling with branded content and lacks consistency
across all their brands. Moreover, the number of competitors are increasing.

As we have spoken about the challenges, from my personal point of view, marketing team should
invest more on branded content as content is the only possible method by which Pathao’s brands
can get the leverage and provide a better service quality and sell the better experience.

16 | P a g e
Recommendations
There are few observations by me which I felt if was there it might have been better for the
employees. They are discussed below:

Creative Approval

The essential test looked by me as a content writer at Pathao was the endorsement framework by
which creatives are affirmed by the best administration and eventually, distributed over every one
of the stages.

The inventive procedure at Pathao begins with a basic imaginative brief from outer groups and the
essential target begins with the architects searching for content in the web. Inside, the issue
emerges when the imaginative brief isn't clear and very much enunciated to the originators. In this
way, the innovative created from the plan end frequently don't fulfill the best administration and,
in this way, the dismissal levels are high. Thusly, a snappy way to deal with this issue is being
defined where a particular google shape would be shared over all the Pathao verticals and the
prerequisites would be featured alongside particular parameters for the substance creation and the
innovative procedure.

Content Pressure
The content writers at Pathao are frequently overpowered with work and workload isn't equally
conveyed. Accordingly, they are regularly provided with work that is beneath their imaginative
standard.

The answer for this issue is likewise being defined as more content writers are being procured by
the marketing team and the planners are in effect particularly selected to more particular ability
arranged regions relying upon their experience and mastery.

Execution and Effectiveness


The imaginative execution at Pathao is very extensive and tedious beginning from the plan brief,
methodology, copywriting and configuration input. Be that as it may, the genuine inquiry comes
when these outlines/contents are being distributed into different correspondences stages and the
17 | P a g e
computerized group estimates the adequacy of all these exertion by estimating change.
Transformation is the parameter with respect to how an innovative/commercial over the on the web
and disconnected mediums perform and bring up the best administration about how the promotions
have performed in getting clients, riders into the Pathao framework. As the marketing team is
moderately new and investigating more adaptable strategies for delivering better substance, the
transformation rates are relied upon to develop as better substance yields more clients, riders and
network commitment and productive activities.

Lessons Learned from The Internship Program


Internship is an extraordinary source to have pertinent work understanding before venturing into
the professional life. In any case, companies are searching for the academic accomplishment as
well as scan for a person with good corporate knowledge who can best fit to their corporate culture.
Some of the time, it turns into the real goal to have a decent position in an organization. The three
month of Intern position period have served to a considerable measure to end up acquaint with the
business world. In addition, it helped me to bring up that what qualifications one ought to need to
end up in a successful position. It will enable me to venture out face the business world. The key
learnings that I have learned are given below:

Punctuality:
I believed that I am a punctual individual. However, the thought of timeliness has been changed
for me when I saw people rehearse it in Pathao. Being for a minute late to finish a relegated errand
or go to any meeting can cost one a great deal.

Managing Time:
Amid my internship the most vital factor that I learned is time administration. Finish distinctive
assignments with in the dead line is imperative to guarantee work effectiveness.
