young communicators

so 10 different people from all over the world, literally!
so many challenges and yet the main stuff remains the same – recession, digital shooting up, agencies gobbling up work credits and finding internet in england!!

and guess what slumdog millionaire city is how everyone knows bombay!!
the dude from ghana actually asked me if the eye gouging stuff actually happens to children in india!! and mr amitabh bachhan is THE man! EVERYONE and i mean EVERYONE knows him!!

Creative cretins

What makes a great idea? How do we know it will viral? try a simple experiment. Send it to the client you wrote it for. if s/he buys..its brilliant..if not..it’s irrelevant.

Creative folks being attached to commercial creative output is like a dentist being attached to the rotten tooth. its your job to get it out (the idea) if someone likes it good, else go back to work

sanguinity, viral marketing and poverty

All hell’s breaking loose, the ‘markets’ are crashing, or rather have crashed. job insecurity, dipping toplines, threatened bottomlines, extended credit lines.. OMG!! how will we survive, the foldd bils are clutched tighter in fists that behave like sieves, leaking money, always. Whither consumer!! Suddenly a streak of sunlight peeping through the dark odious clouds, the saviour, DIGITAL, Viral!! Create, engage, interact, network, WEB 100.0, advertising lives, hallelujah we are saved, bottomlines restored, fractured projections present a sanguine rainbow after the storm, truly, the ‘network’ delivers, all ye brand managers – better be ‘connected’ or perish in the storm! a new way appears, the waters part – lo, the NEW way of seducing currency notes hidden in saree folds and worn pant pockets is here!!
Ufff, my creative sojourn is disturbed again, this worn out, torn apart soot covered family that lives outside my office doesn’t know how to shut their 8th kid up. it seems hungry. feed him a viral.
