Karachi: Continuing its winning streak, K-Electric has won the ‘Best Digital Media Team’ award at Pakistan Digi Awards 2018 for the second consecutive year. The award ceremony was organized at a local hotel in Karachi and attended by top notch professionals from digital industry.
The award acknowledges KE’s approach towards maximizing convenience for customers through its social media platforms and optimizing customer experience through state-of-the-art digital solutions. The power utility currently has over 340,000 and 80,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter respectively.

The award speaks volumes about the quality and engagement levels KE’s social media platforms provide in terms of customer convenience and effectiveness.”
To capitalize on the power of online media, KE established its presence on social media six years ago.
