10. HOWEVER,HUMOUR IS MORE
EFFECTIVE AS AN
ADVERTISING TOOL WHEN IT IS
USED TO INCREASE THE SALES
OF AN ALREADY LAUNCHED

IT IS USED TO INITIALLY
LAUNCH A PRODUCT
AS A RESULT,IMPERIAL BLUE

OWN REAL STAG
BRAND,WHICH WENT WITH THE
EDGY ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
OF ‘ITS YOUR
LIFE;MAKE IT
LARGER’
11. CROWDSOURCING
IS THE NEXT
UP AND COMING
ADVERTISING TRICK
IT IS UNIQUE IN THE WAY
THAT IT ALLOWS THE
CUSTOMER BASE ITSELF TO
ADVERTISE THE BRAND
12. SO FAR,IT HAS BEEN
VERY EFFECTIVELY
USED BY THE
ORGANIZATION
ZOMATO,WHICH USES
A CLEVER REVIEW
BASED SYSTEM
13. THE CROWD SOURCING TECHNIQUE IS UNIQUE IN THE
WAY THAT IT INCREASES INTERACTIVITY BETWEEN

DAIRY
CO-OPERATIVE
AMUL IS AN
INSTITUTION
IN USING
CONTEXT IN
ADVERTISING
ITS PRINT ADS
ARE OFTEN
RELEVANT TO
SOME NATIONAL
OR
INTERNATIONAL
OCCURRENCE
20. WHEN TITAN LAUNCHED THE
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN FOR ITS
WATCHES INITIALLY,IT USED A TUNE
COMPOSED BY MOZART IN ITS ADS.
21. IT BECAME SO POPULAR THAT
EVENTUALLY PEOPLE STARTED
REFERRING TO IT AS ‘THE TITAN
TUNE’.THIS HELPED TITAN BOOST ITS
UNAIDED AND AIDED BRAND RECALL
22. TODAY TITAN IS ONE OF THE MOST
PRODUCTIVE RETAIL COMPANIES IN
INDIA AND HAS CAPTURED THE LION’S
SHARE OF THE MARKET IN WATCHES
23. IT HAS ALSO ENTERED THE MARKET FOR
JEWELLERY,EYEWEAR AND PERFUME.
24. IN TITAN’S CASE MANY ARGUE THAT THE
REPEATED AND CLEVER USE OF A
CATCHY TUNE MADE THE COMPANY
STAND OUT IN THE FACE OF FIERCE
COMPETITION
25. FASTRACK IS ANOTHER BRAND OF
TITAN’S,WHICH TARGETS THE
YOUTH.IT HAS MADE WAVES IN THE
RETAIL MARKET OF WATCHES AND
OTHER LIFESTYLE ACTIVITIES WITH
THE USE OF EDGY ADS WHICH
CONNECT WITH THE INDIAN URBAN
YOUTH

‘AB KI BAAR,MODI SARKAR’,WHICH CAUGHT ON
LIKE WILDFIRE.MANY ANALYSTS FEEL NARENDRA MODI’S
LANDSLIDE VICTORY TO THE PRIME MINISTER’S CHAIR WAS AT
LEAST SLIGHTLY INFLUENCED BY THE CREATIVE ADVERTISING
USED IN THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN
28. CADBURY INDIA PULLED OFF AN
ADVERTISING MASTERCLASS WITH ITS
ADVERTISEMENTS SHOWING IT AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR TRADITIONAL SWEETS
DURING FESTIVE OR CELEBRATORY
OCCASIONS
29. LATER IT LAUNCHED THE CADBURY SILK
BRAND,WHICH BECAME FAMOUS FOR
ITS AD WITH A VERY CATCHY SONG.
30. THE INDIAN CUSTOMER BASE IS A
CONSTANTLY EVOLVING ENTITY,WITH
HUGE POTENTIAL,THE RIGHT KIND OF
ADVERTISING CAN LEAD INDIAN
BRANDS TO UNEARTH UNTOLD
TREASURES FROM A LARGELY
UNTAPPED MARKET
31. CREATIVE ADVERTISING
CAN HAVE MANY FORMS.
COCA-COLA CHINA’S TV
AD FOR THE HONG KONG
MARKET BROKE ALL THE
RULES WHEN IT INVITED
VIEWERS TO USE THEIR
SMARTPHONES TO
“CHOK” BOTTLE CAPS
FLYING ACROSS THEIR
TV SCREENS
32. WHILE IT WAS COMMON
FOR ADS TO BE A PART
OF GAMES,THIS WAS A
RARE OCCASION WHERE
THE AD ITSELF WAS A
GAME.
33. SO IT IS ESSENTIAL TO
KEEP ONE’S EYES AND
MIND OPEN
AND SEEK INSPIRATION
WHEREVER POSSIBLE
