One thing that you would like to change in the Indian A&M industry


As the world around us is changing rapidly, so are our attention spans. But that should not mean that brands and marketers forget what consistency of messaging is all about. It is important to be patient and consistent to reap results- stay simple, stay consistent and stay invested in your messaging.



The importance of brand storytelling has diminished and has been taken over by a lot more tactical approach to marketing. The importance of culture fuelling storytelling must come back to advertising and marketing.



Any jargons that you think need to be banned from the A&M lingo?

Viral
Buzz



One message for aspiring A&M professionals.


If you love what you are doing, that will make it so much easier to actually sit down, create content, inspire, entertain and educate. That is what’s really important.
