Social media is a platform to voicing opinions on anything and everything, where any positive feedback is considered as personal referral from a fellow user, which is far more impactful than any other form of advertisement.

Arun Raj  |  Added idea  "Video Ads - Builds Brands, Trust, Attracts customers"  |  2 years ago
Nothin can build brands, and ensure trust than Video Ads. TV is the only medium where u can provide video ads...internet hasn't still reached that yet!
Mukul Bhartiya  |  Added idea  |  2 years ago
Every medium plays a specific role in brand building. While online marketing is directed towards very specific and information seeking consumers, TV media creates curiosity among mass at large. Moreover, a brand creation will not be complete without...
Tarun Mishra  |  Supported idea  "TV reaches every corner of the world"  |  2 years ago
Yes, they are going to TV ads because of its wide access. Though for companies like Google, Yahoo or Accenture, Its more about recognition just because their products are not sold in real market. Yet with the help of television they can reach to...

Bihar might not be having things going for it right now, but Bihari's have. Only thing needed is to pool it togather. Talking about the bad name and politics, only biharis can decide that what they want to be and do. Anybody else's opinion does not...
Atul Kumar  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
I know that Bihar has bad image across the world. But it can be changed with the help of correct politics and polocies. Current CM has made tremendous improvement on the image of Bihar. Lack of opportunity I see as the major reasons for low law...

Of course, it's people who kill the brand. More than becoming a father or mother, it is important to raise the child and make him/her a mature, sensible and responsible citizen of the country. A brand does not become a brand by itself but has to be...
Sarada M  |  Argues in support of  "People "  |  3 years ago
People kill brands more than the calendar. Think of brands that have withstood time: Rolex, Tiffany, Polo, BMW, Coke, even Tide in the soap arena. They all deliver on their promises to consumers. It's just much harder to launch a new brand in...

This is all about how powerful the Digital medium is. Power to the Internet!! I have come across this very interesting article on the marketing week UK written by Louis Jack. Not only is it very insightful in terms of the verticals that are managing their consumers on the digital media but its about the strategies that they have employed to get their clicks and their eyeballs from their customers!! 'Brands that embrace the digital space have much stronger relationships with consumers than those that fail to exploit the power of the internet.'... Louis Jack quote. 'A “digital consumer” is one who uses the internet to both shop and research their purchases... He further adds!! Interesting isn...
