As is the case every year, brands showed their patriotic sides by disseminating special campaigns for August 14. While some, as always, made use of the national anthem to make audiences' hearts full, others took the opportunity to create awareness for important local matters that are not discussed and solved as much as they should be.

Here are Aurora's top five picks:

(5) K&N's Pakistan

(4) Kamran Steel

(3) Faizan Steel

(2) PSO

(1) IAL Saatchi & Saatchi
