Rakhshabandhan: vow to a safer society


The annual festival of Rakhshabandhan is meant to perpetuate the everlasting ties between brother and sister. The word “Rakhsha” signifies safety and Bandhan is an association announcing an abiding bond. In ancient times this bond of security was celebrated as a symbolic peace ambassador, where a queen used to send this anti-war thread to other kingdoms for ensuring the harmony, non-violence and security among the two Empires and it was carried out as a lifelong vow.

But, in today’s society only few girls have the pleasure to pursue their chase of dream beneath their brother’s safe wings. Others have to live separately from their family to spend a life they wish. In today’s scenario who will lock up their safety? Social Binding is the answer to this. Let’s make up our mind to save all ladies of our society. It might be a friend living separately from her family, a classmate in the hostel, a lady in the new city or a girl travelling daily in the bus. Let’s promise a calm shelter to them.

Let’s celebrate this Rakhi as an Event to cease the violence in society. Why only vow to protect one’s sister only, let’s pledge to protect the whole women population. This relation of protection is not limited to a brother-sister, but is an Event to Celebrate the Social Binding, which is very well executed in the new Idea advertisement. It can be among a Defense man and a citizen, a security guard and a little school girl, a bus driver and a daily traveler, and many more.

Let’s Honor them for helping us in the situation, let’s thank them for being our guide, let’s gratify them for the guarding, and let’s acknowledge them of their significance. Let us salute the bond of safety with everyone who immune our shelter from any mishap.
To save the sister with same blood in veins…
Is a ritual taught and in our mind it always remains…

Why not pledge to save all ladies…?
Why not vow safety to all…?
Why it needed to be a brother…
Let us be a guard to each other…
United we stand, divided we fall…
But a thread of peace can save us all…


Wish you all a Happy Rakshabandhan!

Befriending the Ad World 4th August Friendship Day

Sharing secrets, hiding mistakes
Playing pranks, dancing in rains
All it speaks is a bond so strong,
 Known as FRIENDSHIP and lasts long.



Can you imagine your life without the person, with whom you share your outbursting emotions every day or a person who is always ready to lend his shoulder along with his PJ’s to cheer you up again?  Of course not. We all need a friend to rely upon, to believe on, to share the grief and to get mental relief. But maintaining this relation during the life’s ups and downs is this simple? No. Because, in life where it is difficult to find time to talk to oneself, it is almost impossible to steal the moments out of the busy schedule to talk to our dear ones.

Friendship Day obviously is a granted opportunity to go back to the golden days when we dreamt of being with our childhood friends for the whole life and endows us with an easy path to celebrate that togetherness, to respect the differences and revise our life’s preferences.
But should this celebration be bounded to 24 hours? No, the frolic should go on. Each moment of life spent with friends should be made enjoyable enough to be treasured in the lasting frames of our hearts.

ADVERTISING THE FRIENDSHIP

Call it a way of creating reminiscences or socialization; the Advertising world is ADding spice of Friendship to its persuading advertisements to connect with the target audience emotionally.
 “Wherever You Go, the Network Follows which is Happy to Help (Vodafone) you Celebrate Small Occasions With Friends (Cadbury) and enjoy the Yummy Taste Of Friendship (KFC) with Your New Chataakedaar Company (Domino’s) to Cherish The Gift From Your Very Own (Titan Sonata)”.

Remember something? The above paragraph is dedicated to the latest advertisements creating a “Dosti Effect” on the minds of young as well as the aged consumers following the products.

Following the same,  Coca-Cola and Ogilvy & Mather Shanghai have come together to develop a new art and digital campaign that has a unique approach to “happiness creation” for the friendship experiment along with conducting different interesting activities all over the world.

Whether it is Airtel friendship campaign- “Jo Tera Hai Wo Mera Hai” and “Har Ek Friend Zaroori Hota Hai” or the Shine.com new marketing idea, “Yaar Tu God Hai”, Friendship is being celebrated as a unique bond in the movies, songs, stories, daily soaps and Advertisements.

These exploding and amazing communion examples have helped the audience win friends and influenced them to a great extent, as a result of which the advertisers are using this obvious human emotion of friendship to fulfill their commercial objectives.

When Advertising world is not left behind in celebrating the “Friendship Day” throughout the year, then why are you waiting?

Call an old friend today and make him feel special…plan a blasting “Friendship Day” with him and make a promise to take this bond beyond the limitations of a day so that you can cherish this Friendship throughout your life.

To ho jaaye “DOSTI KA SHUBHAARAMBH”?

Advertising - A catalyzer for consumers' never-ending hunger of wants



“A good Advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself”, an interesting and apt-to-Advertising quote by David Ogilvy, makes the purpose of advertising even more clear and concise. Before jumping to why advertising is done, it is essential to understand what is advertising.

Advertising is all about “persuasion”. It is the moment when a consumer is stuck in the middle of persuasion and choice or in much simpler words- Advertising is a mode of developing a communication between the advertiser and the consumer whose sole aim is to build a positive image of the product in the “solution-seeking” minds of consumer. It is used to encourage, persuade and manipulate the consumers so that he gets attracted towards the product, but to a pause, advertising does not end here. It further continues to engage the customer till he is persuaded to take a positive action regarding the product that eventually results in the unnecessary buying.

Advertising can mainly be classified into print Advertising, electronic advertising i.e., Radio, TV, internet, mobile and Outdoor Advertising mediums like hoardings and billboards. The three most common forms are detailed below:

Outdoor Advertising:- is regarded as a very effective tool of advertising which makes use of tools like billboards, hoardings, kiosks, tradeshows, events etc., having a high and immediate impact on the customers. Apart from this, Outdoor Advertising is considered to be an economical form of communication classifying further into posters, transits, bus stations, taxis, moving trains, terminal posters, POP (point of purchase) etc.

Print Advertising:- accommodates the advertisements printed on paper and handled by a specific potential audience. It is a very attractive and receptive mode of communication and poses a direct impact on consumer’s mind when he reads and makes a perception towards the written message. Print Advertising is considered as a very old form of advertising popular since 17th century and includes- newspapers, magazines, brochures, fliers, direct mailers, yellow pages etc.

Digital advertising:- Digital Advertising is one of the fastest and advanced modes of convincing the consumers in which the information is communicated with the help of Internet and mobile phones. Internet being a very common medium is one of the fastest and cheapest medium which has a global reach. Digital Advertising majorly consists of the two most popular modes that are SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SMO (Social Media Optimization). Both of these are online mode of delivering the marketing message with the help of ad servers and social networking websites. The ads may appear on the search engines, social sites, banner ads, text ads, online classifieds, e-mail promotions etc.

Being derived from a Latin word, advertising actually “turn the minds of customer towards” the final product which eventually makes them spend money on the unnecessary products they don’t even need. At the end, advertising can be considered as the lifeline of a business which is true to a great extent.

Packaging Redesign


A packaging redesign is often the first lever that marketers pull when they are either new to a emblem or opposite a trading challenge. If all additional goes wrong, redesign the wrapping and slap a “New Look. identical Great Taste” burst on it.

From my time at procedure, I wise that packaging conceive, when finished well, can be the best media vehicle a emblem has. We thought of cutting steel (for a wrapping mold) as a newspapers total cost.

But a wrapping redesign is not a illusion projectile. And the process is often heavy on government and lightweight on impact. It is very simple to get apprehended up in endless considerations about nuances that ultimately aren’t all that significant to buyers.

There is also a fear of more determined redesigns, partly due to the “Tropicana hangover”. in 2009, Tropicana altered its label to a design that was unanimously disliked. They finally backpedaled to the original design. I’ve conversed to many marketers who are wary of any bold design alterations because they don’t want to make the identical error.

I like this insight from Landor: “Many businesses evaluate wrapping only when their emblem is languishing or when a new variant is about to launch. Don’t think of refreshing your wrapping as a task with an end date; instead, the “evolution of packaging” should be a normal dialogue and a strategic alternative as your emblem strategy evolves.”

I like the idea of wrapping as an ongoing evolution rather than a short-term fix.
