Advertising helps people and nudges them to basically buy more.
It educates the consumer about the product, why it is better, it’s uses etc.
By encouraging increased spending, it helps the economy to grow.
In a recessional economy you might find a downward momentum in advertising in order to cut costs buy marketeers. But at the same time it is also possible to find another marketeer increase advertising spend in order to grab the market and surpass the competition.

Signs are one of the most unforgettable advertising mediums. Great signs grab attention, strengthen brand recognition and promotes service of a brand. Signs have the power to pull, because they are direct and informative. It is a powerful tool that helps in communicating, promoting brands and brand messages when done right.

Studies show that a business loses 60% of customers due to the absence of a good sign.

Don’t feel like cleaning your room, clothes piled up on the chair since last week, eating ready to eat noodles. Yes, you are the original kind of lazy. An original kind of lazy avoids physical exertion. A cell phone, a mixer grinder, an automobile has made our life easier and yes, lazier. People argue that, it is not being lazy but being efficient. But is being resourceful similar to being slothful? 

There is another kind of lazy, the modern one. The one that is too lazy to emotionally sweat. If you are too lazy to raise the fundamental question why, staying away from an absorbing conversation, avoiding your boss at work because you are running late for a project submission. You are the modern lazy. The modern laziness is all about fear. If you are not asking questions because u feel asking a lot of questions is stupid, not asking any, surely is.

Whether you are the original lazy or the modern one, laziness has one medicine. Face it and do it.

How a group of people behave, their views, opinions, and perceptions based on language, ethnicity and race is culture. Culture affects virtually all human behaviour.
Marketing communications are heavily dependent on a particular groups culture. Culture affects not just what is communicated but how it is communicated as well. Depending on how industrialized and advanced a country or region might be affects the medium through which marketing communications are rolled out. A marketeers success is largely dependant on how well he understands cultural preferences, ideologies and behaviours of target consumers.

Fevikwik’s recent campaigns “Khushiyon Ki Chand Pal”, have women featured as the main protagonists. This seems to be a refreshing change. Fevikwik ads long known to have been riddled with humor continue to be so but have managed to also highlight women’s issues this time.

The first ad shows a mother being able to fix her sons car, because of which her son asks to be fed bitter gourd. The ad emphasizes that these things don’t happen everyday, and that moments of happiness are bought by just the 5 Rupees that you spend on a Fevikwik.

The second ad shows a mother in law offering Orange juice to her daughter in law after her workout. It ends with a line saying that these things don’t happen everyday. It only happened because the daughter in law had earlier fixed her mother in laws prayer bell.
That moments of happiness could be bought at 5 Rupees.

Imagine your Korea, Malaysia truly Asia, Incredible India, Happiness is a place, are slogans you might have heard time and again.
We associate slogans like these with nations. Nations brand themselves for a number of reasons including tourism.
Take for example Korea.
A nation now known for their K-pop culture, which they’ve turned into a billion dollar business. They need to differentiate themselves from others in the same continent or similar cultures.

Being socially responsible is obviously a good thing.
But how do creative agencies work with them?
How do you know which cause to support,
which social campaign to undertake, which NGO to work with?
Become part of the organisation you choose to work with.
Feel for the cause they work with.
Maybe then creatively too your work would shine through.

Very simply what a consumer thinks about the brand. The kind of feeling they have towards the brand and why they would pick one brand over the other, is brand positioning. It’s how the brand feels in the consumers mind.
Naturally then to be a well established brand it is important to position your brand and come up with a brand strategy.

A few steps for brand strategy are:
1.Doing a little market research, finding out how similar brands position themselves.
2.Getting to know your competitors positioning statements.
3.Understanding your offering as a brand to your consumers. What you can deliver.
4.Getting to know your consumers needs.
5.Crafting a good brand positioning statement.(A statement communicating your brand’s value to prospective customers.)

 

Visual elements play a strong role in design. A layout is the arrangement of these visual elements, such as text, images and style.The specific placement of these visual elements is important for communication. A well made layout increases user friendliness, attracts potential customers and is easily read and understood.
A common layout practice made by designers is the Z layout.It makes way for ease of eye movement of the viewer. It is a standard format for designers to use this layout. Balance, proportion, hierachy, emphasis, unity of cohesive elements, sequence are some fundamentals of design when it comes to layout.
