BACKGROUND:
The Pakistan Single Window is an integrated digital platform that allows parties involved in trade and transport to lodge standardized information and documents with a single-entry point to fulfill all import, export, and transit-related regulatory requirements.

To create greater buy-in and widespread voluntary adoption among various stakeholders, and the private sector in particular, the PSW communication strategy employs an integrated communications approach to unify marketing communication elements, such as public relations, social media, audience analytics, business development principles, advertising, and promotion into a brand identity that remains consistent across distinct media channels to reach target audiences and ensure mass adoption of the services provided through PSW.
