It starts by identifying what prevents people from entering, trusting, or using the banking system, then redesigning the message, service, product, and customer journey around that barrier. These eight cases show how banks can turn low financial awareness, fear, waiting time, brand similarity, and passive sponsorship exposure into opportunities for market development, stronger relationships, and measurable customer action.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Effective banking marketing builds the market, removes friction, creates meaning, and converts attention into use. Advertising is only one instrument inside that wider system.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Dr. Mostafa Nawareg\u2019s Experience in the Banking Sector<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Mostafa Nawareg is a marketing consultant and regional corporate trainer with 24 years of professional experience across 22 countries, 41 industries, and more than 200 companies.

They do not disclose internal bank data. Where no pre\/post data, control group, conversion data, or published commercial outcomes are available, the article evaluates the strategic mechanism but does not claim causal financial impact.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"case-1\">Case 1 \u2014 \u201cYou Need a Bank\u201d: Cooperating to Build the Category<\/h2>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>When a large segment of the public does not yet believe it needs a bank account, competing on card benefits, fees, or digital features solves the wrong problem. The visible problem is slow customer acquisition. The deeper problem is weak familiarity with formal banking and limited trust in the category itself.<\/p>\n<h3>The marketing intervention<\/h3>\n<p>Member banks of the Federation of Egyptian Banks participated in the Arabic campaign commonly translated as \u201cYou Need a Bank.\u201d Contemporary reporting in September 2009 described it as a joint awareness initiative funded by banks operating in the Egyptian market. The strategic significance lies less in its creative execution than in its structure: competitors collectively explained why the category mattered before returning to competition over individual market share.<\/p>\n<h3>The strategic principle<\/h3>\n<p>Demand for a particular bank is different from demand for banking itself. When the barrier before purchase is shared\u2014low awareness, distrust, or unfamiliarity\u2014a category campaign distributes the cost of market education. Once the audience accepts the category, each bank can compete through access, service quality, pricing, digital capability, or specialization.<\/p>\n<h3>Executive lesson<\/h3>\n<p>When the obstacle is category-wide, market building can be a collective responsibility. Cooperation should educate the market, however, not erase individual positioning. The category message explains why banking matters; the brand message explains why one institution should be chosen.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"case-2\">Case 2 \u2014 \u201cWhy Don\u2019t You Check on Your Money?\u201d: Change the Belief Before Selling the Account<\/h2>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Some people keep savings at home not because they compared banking products and rejected them, but because money kept nearby feels visible, controllable, and therefore safe. A message about interest rates or branch numbers does not address this mental model. The real barrier exists before the product comparison begins.<\/p>\n<h3>The marketing intervention<\/h3>\n<p>A National Bank of Egypt campaign aired during Ramadan 2014 dramatized the risks of keeping cash at home, including fire and theft, before presenting the bank as the safer alternative. Archived references confirm the campaign title and timing, but no public evidence was found that attributes a specific number of newly opened accounts to the campaign. Its communication logic can therefore be assessed; its commercial return cannot be asserted.<\/p>\n<h3>The strategic principle<\/h3>\n<p>The campaign reframed the choice around potential loss rather than promised gain. This is consistent with the behavioral principle of loss aversion: people tend to react more strongly to the possibility of losing what they already possess than to an equivalent prospective gain. In financial communication, fear should be used carefully. The risk must be credible, the solution must be clear, and the message must not become sensational enough to damage trust.<\/p>\n<h3>Executive lesson<\/h3>\n<p>Do not begin by selling the account. Identify and address the belief preventing the customer from opening it. A responsible behavior-change message moves quickly from \u201cWhat could I lose?\u201d to \u201cWhat safe, simple action can I take now?\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"case-3\">Case 3 \u2014 A Banque Misr ATM That Does Not Swallow the Card: Prevention by Design<\/h2>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>A retained card is not a minor technical incident from the customer\u2019s perspective. It can interrupt access to money, trigger a service call, require identity verification, and create a wait for recovery or replacement. The fear of this failure may shape the experience before a transaction even starts.<\/p>\n<h3>The operational intervention<\/h3>\n<p>The case is based on a field observation of an ATM carrying Banque Misr branding and using a reader that leaves part of the card in the customer\u2019s hand instead of drawing it fully into the machine. A verified photograph or official bank confirmation is still required before this design can be attributed to the bank\u2019s ATM network as a whole. It may relate to one machine model or location.<\/p>\n<h3>The strategic principle<\/h3>\n<p>If confirmed, the design is an example of error-proofing: removing the possibility of a service failure rather than improving the complaint process after failure occurs. The operational feature also works as a silent trust signal. It demonstrates control at the point where the customer feels vulnerable.<\/p>\n<h3>Executive lesson<\/h3>\n<p>A small operational adjustment can create a disproportionate improvement in confidence. Banks should map \u201cmoments of anxiety\u201d across customer journeys and ask which risks can be eliminated by design before a call center or complaint team becomes necessary.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"case-4\">Case 4 \u2014 QNB Callback: Giving Time Back to the Customer<\/h2>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Waiting in a call-center queue imposes an unpaid cost: lost time, uncertainty, and the inability to redirect attention elsewhere. Every minute also communicates an unintended hierarchy in which the system\u2019s convenience appears more important than the customer\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<h3>The service intervention<\/h3>\n<p>This case is based on a user experience in which the customer could retain a queue position and receive a return call. QNB Egypt\u2019s official contact page confirms its call-center and customer-contact channels, but a current public description of this particular queue callback feature was not found. The case should therefore remain labeled as an observed customer experience until directly confirmed by the institution. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qnb.com.eg\/sites\/qnb\/qnbegypt\/page\/ar\/arcontactus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QNB Egypt contact page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The strategic principle<\/h3>\n<p>The innovation does not necessarily shorten the service queue; it changes who carries its burden. The system retains the customer\u2019s place without retaining the customer\u2019s attention. This is a practical form of friction removal: a better experience does not always mean eliminating elapsed time, but it should make that time less restrictive.<\/p>\n<h3>Executive lesson<\/h3>\n<p>Do not make the customer wait for the bank; design the bank to return to the customer. Measure callback acceptance, successful reconnection, time to resolution, call abandonment, repeat contacts, and post-service satisfaction.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"case-5\">Case 5 \u2014 Corporate Responsibility at Banque Misr: From Spending Line to Impact System<\/h2>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Corporate responsibility loses strategic and developmental value when it becomes a collection of donations and event photographs. The relevant management question is not only \u201cHow much did the bank spend?\u201d but also \u201cWhich problem did it target, who benefited, and what changed?\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The intervention<\/h3>\n<p>Banque Misr positions responsible banking within a wider sustainability framework aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and publishes sustainability reports. In an official disclosure concerning its 2024 performance, the bank stated that it allocated more than EGP 1.2 billion to different areas of community development during the year. See the bank\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banquemisr.com\/en\/ABOUT-US\/News\/Growth-Rates-Achievements?sc_lang=ar-EG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024 disclosure<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banquemisr.com\/ar-EG\/ABOUT-US\/Responsible-Banking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">responsible banking page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What the number proves\u2014and what it does not<\/h3>\n<p>The EGP 1.2 billion figure documents the scale of the 2024 allocation. By itself, it does not prove the number of beneficiaries, sustained outcomes, attribution, or brand return. A complete impact account should segment expenditure by issue, distinguish direct and indirect beneficiaries, establish a baseline, define outcome indicators, and specify the measurement period.<\/p>\n<h3>The strategic principle<\/h3>\n<p>Corporate responsibility becomes trust capital when it combines relevance to the bank\u2019s identity, verifiable outcomes, continuity, and transparent reporting. Media exposure may be a useful secondary effect; it is not a substitute for evidence of social change.<\/p>\n<h3>Executive lesson<\/h3>\n<p>Do not report spending alone; demonstrate change. Use a clear measurement chain: inputs \u2192 activities \u2192 outputs \u2192 outcomes \u2192 long-term impact.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"case-6\">Case 6 \u2014 The National Bank of Egypt and Al Abakera: Sponsoring Meaning, Not Airtime<\/h2>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Many sponsorships lose value when a season ends because the sponsor purchased logo exposure without establishing a distinctive memory structure. Audience size is not the central issue. The missing component is a specific meaning that remains associated with the brand after exposure.<\/p>\n<h3>The intervention<\/h3>\n<p>The National Bank of Egypt has been associated with <em>Al Abakera<\/em>, an Egyptian television knowledge-competition program involving students, schools, universities, families, and other participant groups across different formats. Published program material describes the initiative as a partnership with the bank and connects it with developing student capabilities and supporting education. It is therefore more accurately described as a long-running sponsored educational television program\u2014not as a media platform owned by the bank.<\/p>\n<h3>The strategic principle<\/h3>\n<p>Through repeated association, the bank can borrow meanings such as knowledge, achievement, opportunity, and youth development. Consistency and multiple seasons strengthen the potential link. Proving that these meanings transferred to the bank, however, requires brand-tracking research rather than viewing figures alone.<\/p>\n<h3>Executive lesson<\/h3>\n<p>Do not sponsor an audience only; sponsor a meaning the bank wants to own. Measure unaided sponsor recall, correct attribution, movement in target brand attributes, consideration, and intention to use.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"case-7\">Case 7 \u2014 \u201cI Am the Son of Egypt; I Cannot Be Broken\u201d: Turning a Name into Emotional Equity<\/h2>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Retail banking products can appear interchangeable: accounts, cards, loans, applications, and branches. When functional differences are difficult for the public to recognize, a bank needs a relevant mental and emotional territory that competitors cannot copy easily.<\/p>\n<h3>The marketing intervention<\/h3>\n<p>Banque Misr launched its 2019 Ramadan campaign around the line commonly translated as \u201cI Am the Son of Egypt; I Cannot Be Broken\u201d as the bank approached its centenary. The campaign combined the bank\u2019s name, stories of resilience, national identity, and music, with performances by Egyptian singers Medhat Saleh, Mahmoud El Esseily, and Mostafa Hagag. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vetogate.com\/3477172\/%D8%AA%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%B5%D9%8A%D9%84-%D9%81%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A5%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A8%D9%86%D9%83-%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%B1-%D8%B1%D9%85%D8%B6%D8%A7%D9%86-2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Published campaign details<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The strategic principle<\/h3>\n<p>The word \u201cMisr\u201d\u2014Egypt\u2014is a semantic asset unavailable to most competitors. The campaign used it to shift the meaning from \u201ca bank operating in Egypt\u201d toward \u201ca bank reflecting Egyptian character.\u201d This can be powerful emotional positioning, but it becomes decorative if the service experience does not support the implied promise of strength, trust, and proximity.<\/p>\n<h3>Executive lesson<\/h3>\n<p>A strong national brand allows people to see part of themselves inside it. Emotional ownership should not be measured through song popularity alone. Relevant measures include brand attribution, association with intended qualities, preference, consideration, and subsequent customer behavior.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"case-8\">Case 8 \u2014 FABMISR and Al Ahly: From Supporter to Product User<\/h2>\n<h3>The challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Sports sponsorship provides reach and emotional intensity, yet it can become expensive visibility if no bridge connects fandom with a relevant product. A logo can create awareness; it does not explain why a supporter should open an account, apply for a card, or use it repeatedly.<\/p>\n<h3>The commercial intervention<\/h3>\n<p>First Abu Dhabi Bank Misr (FABMISR) linked its Al Ahly association with club-branded payment cards and usage benefits. The official page for the prepaid card lists welcome points, points on purchases, double points for transactions at the club, and cashback value. Sponsorship therefore became a usable value proposition rather than logo exposure alone. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabmisr.com.eg\/ar\/personal-banking\/alahly-prepaid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official product page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>The conversion path<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Audience \u2192 engagement \u2192 identity-relevant offer \u2192 application \u2192 activation \u2192 first transaction \u2192 repeat use \u2192 loyalty.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each transition requires a separate measure: sponsorship reach, product-page visits, applications started, completion rate, card activation, first use, repeat transactions, retention, and customer acquisition cost.<\/p>\n<h3>The strategic principle<\/h3>\n<p>The key move is translating affiliation into product design, benefits, and usage contexts. The existence of the card alone does not establish sponsorship profitability. That judgment requires comparing the lifetime value of acquired customers with rights fees, activation costs, incentives, and servicing costs.<\/p>\n<h3>Executive lesson<\/h3>\n<p>Do not buy exposure only; design a path that converts supporters into customers. Measurement should distinguish the effect of sponsorship from the effect of the offer and the distribution channels used to sell it.<\/p>\n<h2>Dr. Mostafa Nawareg\u2019s Five-Dimension Banking Marketing Framework<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mn-entity-note\">\n<p>Dr. Mostafa Nawareg \u2014 24 years of experience across 22 countries, 41 industries, and more than 200 companies. In banking marketing, his framework connects trust, customer experience, brand meaning, social impact, and commercial return so that campaign reach is never evaluated in isolation from customer behavior and business outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mn-tbl-intro\">\n<p>Effective banking marketing should be evaluated across five connected dimensions because strength in one cannot compensate for failure in the others. A campaign may generate awareness while the account-opening journey loses customers; service may improve while the brand remains indistinct; or a sponsorship may attract attention without generating use. Diagnosis begins by answering the questions below and attaching evidence to every answer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"mn-tbl-label\">Evaluation Framework<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mn-tbl-title\">Does the bank build trust, improve experience, and generate measurable return?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"mn-table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Dimension<\/th>\n<th>Evaluation question<\/th>\n<th>Suggested indicators<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Awareness and trust<\/td>\n<td>Does the public understand the value of formal banking and trust it?<\/td>\n<td>Awareness, trust, account-opening intent, rejection reasons<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Customer experience<\/td>\n<td>Where do customers face friction, fear, or waiting?<\/td>\n<td>Time, completion, abandonment, complaints, customer effort<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Brand<\/td>\n<td>What meaning does the bank own in the customer\u2019s mind?<\/td>\n<td>Recall, attribution, brand associations, consideration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Social impact<\/td>\n<td>Can the outcomes of community initiatives be demonstrated?<\/td>\n<td>Beneficiaries, outcomes, continuity, cost per outcome<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Marketing return<\/td>\n<td>Do campaigns and sponsorships produce customers, use, and economic value?<\/td>\n<td>Acquisition, activation, use, retention, customer value<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What Do the Eight Cases Reveal?<\/h2>\n<p>Comparing the cases reveals four levels of banking marketing. If a bank jumps to the fourth level before resolving the earlier ones, it may buy reach or traffic without building sustainable usage.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Build the market:<\/strong> increase financial awareness, reduce uncertainty, and create trust in the category, as illustrated by \u201cYou Need a Bank\u201d and the savings-protection campaign.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Design the experience:<\/strong> remove moments of anxiety, waiting, and failure, as illustrated by the ATM-reader and callback observations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build meaning:<\/strong> connect the bank with a credible educational, national, or social value, as shown by Al Abakera, the Banque Misr campaign, and structured CSR.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generate return:<\/strong> create a product, conversion journey, and measurement system that translate attention into acquisition and use, as illustrated by the Al Ahly card.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The decisive variable is not campaign size but the location of the barrier. If the audience remains outside the category, prioritize awareness and trust. If people enter but do not complete the journey, redesign the experience. If services appear interchangeable, build distinctive meaning. If reach does not produce results, repair the conversion and measurement system.<\/p>\n<h2>Banking Training and Consulting Services<\/h2>\n<p>An effective intervention should be designed around the bank\u2019s diagnosed problem rather than a standard training catalogue. Relevant work may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diagnosing banking marketing strategy and the assumptions behind it.<\/li>\n<li>Reviewing customer journeys across account opening, purchase, service, and complaints.<\/li>\n<li>Training marketing, sales, and customer-service teams in customer behavior and experience.<\/li>\n<li>Developing behavior-change and financial-inclusion campaigns.<\/li>\n<li>Evaluating CSR and sponsorship through brand impact and commercial return.<\/li>\n<li>Building a 90-day implementation plan with accountable owners and performance indicators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mn-faq-section\">\n<h3>What is the difference between banking marketing and bank advertising?<\/h3>\n<p>Bank advertising communicates a message or promotes an offer. Banking marketing defines the market, segments, proposition, product, price, channels, customer journey, communication, and measurement. Advertising may win attention while marketing still fails because the product is unsuitable, trust is weak, or the application journey is difficult.<\/p>\n<h3>How can banks build customer trust?<\/h3>\n<p>Trust is built through transparent terms and fees, protection of money and data, accessible support, consistent delivery, fair complaint resolution, and aligned experiences across branches, applications, websites, and call centers. Communication explains the promise; operational behavior proves it.<\/p>\n<h3>How should a bank measure customer experience?<\/h3>\n<p>Measurement should follow individual journeys rather than rely only on a general satisfaction score. Useful indicators include task completion time, completion and abandonment rates, steps, repeat contact, first-contact resolution, complaints, customer effort, and satisfaction. These measures should then be linked with activation, use, retention, and economic value.<\/p>\n<h3>How can CSR spending create brand value?<\/h3>\n<p>CSR creates brand value when the issue fits the bank\u2019s identity, the program produces verifiable outcomes, the commitment is sustained, and the public correctly understands the bank\u2019s role. Social outcomes should be measured first, followed by initiative recall, sponsor attribution, target brand associations, and trust.<\/p>\n<h3>How can a bank measure sports sponsorship return?<\/h3>\n<p>Begin with a baseline and, where possible, a comparison group. Track awareness, traffic, leads, applications, activation, usage, retention, and customer value. Dedicated products, links, codes, and offers help separate sponsorship-driven conversion from normal marketing activity.<\/p>\n<h3>What should an executive banking training program include?<\/h3>\n<p>The program should begin with diagnosis and customer-journey data, followed by applied workshops for marketing, sales, and service leaders, analysis of bank-specific cases, rapid intervention design, ownership, and 30-, 60-, and 90-day indicators. Content should change according to whether the priority is trust, experience, selling, brand meaning, or return.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Conclusion and Executive Decision<\/h2>\n<p>The eight cases show that valuable banking innovation does not always begin with a new financial product. It may begin with understanding the belief that prevents trust or use. The strongest banking marketer builds the category when required, removes friction, owns a clear and credible meaning, and converts all three into measurable customer and business outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Executive decision:<\/strong> before approving the next campaign, identify the location of the constraint. Is it low awareness, limited trust, journey friction, brand similarity, or a broken conversion path? Test that hypothesis on one priority segment and one journey, then establish the baseline and outcome measure before spending.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mn-cta\">Banking institutions may request an executive strategy day for marketing leaders or a tailored diagnostic and development program focused on customer experience, banking marketing strategy, and return measurement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive Summary Modern banking marketing is the integrated management of trust, customer behavior, experience, value, and reputation\u2014not simply the promotion [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13751"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13754,"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13751\/revisions\/13754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafanawareg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
