When I think of video marketing, I immediately recall advertisement jingles from my childhood. Vicco turmeric, nahi cosmetic, yeh hai Vicco turmeric Ayurvedic cream… I bet you just sang that in your head. The Ad Revolution These advertisements from the 90s were a…

7 Surprise Communication Growth Tips from “A Clockwork Orange”

You could say translation is a myth. Nothing that we want to convey is exactly translated. Our thoughts churn and we are only able to spew signifiers. Or you could say that translation is the only reality. Everything is translated. Everything changes form. Everything becomes something else. We think of anything and it is translated into an image or being or existence.   TRANSLATION is…

Make Your Value Proposition Matter Using Persuasive Storytelling

Stories have a  way of capturing our minds and transporting us in another dimension all together. However, there are good stories and bad stories. In our lives we come across both. The bad stories fade away with time. The good stories leave a mark on us; they leave us lingering onto the thoughts and feelings of the character. In a simpler language…. they stick.

How Testimonials Establish Trust and Encourage Action

“Your son has a lot of potential”; said my English teacher. My parents beamed. I bought it. But nothing ever came out of it. Sometimes I wondered if all the teachers in all the schools were coached in the same vocabulary. Their praised were as bland as their complaints. They refused to acknowledge us as individuals.

7 Reasons how Stories Move the World

Many years ago when I was still a duckling and the day was my birthday. With a Britannia Marie Gold biscuit in my hand, I stood on the window still, staring outside on a hot afternoon of May. An old umbrella man, carrying dusty old umbrellas, stood bent over the dustbin. Fighting the pariah dogs, he found something. A bunch of chapattis, he pulled out. He carefully tucked the food in his bindle…

Blink, Blink, Forget: How to Fight the Goldfish Syndrome

Goldfish are believed to have an attention span of only 9 seconds. But post 2000, a new ‘fish’ has beaten them in fickleness.

How to Grow Up with Parents the Millennial Way

We as millennials give up on our parents. Often too easily. We assume that there is no point in talking to them because they are not going to change their mindset or their beliefs. We are scared of initiating any exchange of ideas. The seed that leads to this mindset is called ‘Fear of Conflict’. Something I read about in Patrick Lencioni’s book called “ Five Dysfunctions of a Team”.   Read the…

A brand gains long term relevancy for its audience only when it not just answers the present queries but also designs a solution for the future. The audience knows what it requires today but is largely unaware of the future challenges. Unlike what we would want to believe, the audience mostly do not take ‘informed’ decisions. Most often than not, it is the wave of emotions that guide them towards…
