Shave India

So all you men out there, with Neha Dupia, Mugdha Godse calling, you will experience Gillette Mach 3 atleast once for sure. Such will be the power of the campaign and i admire the way this campaign has been planned. When i saw the TVCs i did not pay much attention to the details nor the campaign bit, till i read it in CT. What better way than this perfect PR opportunity for the brand to reach out to the TG.

For long, i have always wondered on the understanding of PR beyond press releases and X xX column coverages. This will be a classic case study on what a well thought out PR campaign can do to a brand. A creative thought of a survey, an intelligent use of the survey results and voila...Shave India Movement.

After all women prefer clean shaven looks , get one right now.

"SlumDog" excitement!!!

The Golden globe award for A R R ; 10 Oscar nominations - real excitement on air! But the flip side which hits me the title "slum dog" the film shows the dark side of India - 'the slums' to the whole world not wholly an Indian film to Oscars So what are we excited about? ARR for sure, no doubt about it, if the sound designer gets recognised, yes a feather in the cap to already acclaimed technical competence we have. Beyond that i dont see any reason why we need to create so much hype for a film made by Mr. Danny Boyle going to oscars, (ofcourse produced by our Anil Kapoor). Thats we, the people.......

A byline story in the front page - at what cost?

I have been wanting to vent out my feelings on this topic for quite some time, happy am able to do it now. When Times launched in Chennai, i was one of those many / few whatever the case may be, who was really excited and became a regular reader. But when i read this particular newsarticle titled "Commandos strike through stormwater drains" which made the front page of TOI, my blood was boiling and the feeling was one of anger and frustration. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Chennai/In_the_pipeline_Commando_strike_through_stormwater_drains_/articleshow/3847830.cms I have nothing against the journalist, but what prompted me to react was the story. How can a strategy which our commandos will adopt be made so public that too as a story of that prominence. Well you may call it freedom of expression? but at what cost????????? (Want to write more on this topic but would reserve it for now)

Corona positive

Hold your thoughts there! Yes, you read the title right, but probably the inference is not what you think!! I #StayatHome, therefore, I #StaySafe.  Ever since the pandemic situation took center stage, there is gloom, sadness, incidences of humanity and inhumanness too, jobs lost, migrants suffering, economy taking a beat., overall more of not so positive conversations around us.  As a strong believer in "there is an opportunity in every adversity", I set my mind to think of all the positives that this abnormal situation has brought with it, in the last few weeks.  # Family time:  In my entire career life, I have never ever spent so much time at my home, being together with the family for so long, except the customary break for a family holiday every year. Be it, children or adults, everyone has their own routine and even for planning a family dinner, you need to prioritize between homework, meeting schedules, etc. In the normal routine, Sunday is rest tim...
