I would like you to watch the video before you read my post. People who do not understand Hindi should read the subtitles on the video. Let me now explain why this bothers me. The young lad in the video criticises OOH advertising, labelling it data-deficient and expensive. He challenged the status quo in what seemed like a smart move, claiming that ₹3,000 could fetch a reach of 110,000–120,000 (insinuating that it is a smarter choice than opting for OOH since it delivers data). However, that’s where the data story ended. He swiftly transitioned from quantitative to speculative claims, citing anecdotal evidence—𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬. Ironically, the results he put up showed he had targeted everyone—M&F aged 18-65. Essentially, he did what OOH also does, and by that measure, OOH would have reached 10X as many. 𝐀 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬, 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐎𝐎𝐇 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫-𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐨 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐲𝐬 𝐦𝐞—𝐥𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡es 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐡. Claiming that OOH is a waste of money because it lacks 'visible data' reflects a shallow understanding of advertising and marketing that's undermining the industry. 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞; 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲'𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The real issue isn’t whether OOH generates data—it’s about understanding how to measure its effectiveness and recognizing what OOH is intended to achieve.𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭. 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞. If you want to compare the effectiveness of Meta and Google ads, compare them with those of Programmatic, not OOH. They are two different poles. I urge young marketers to delve deeper, read up, and understand the distinctions between advertising, marketing, and media. The perspectives we adopt shape the strategies we champion and, consequently, influence the entire industry. Just because you know how to run campaigns on Meta and Google doesn't mean you have figured everything out. 𝐒𝐨.

Idiot...Idiot...Idiot... 🙈 🙉 🙊 I was watching 3 Idiots Movie yesterday, and here is...! 🎥 What 3 Idiots Taught Me About Corporate Sales 🚀 “"Success ke pichhe mat bhaago, excellence ka peechha karo. Success jhak marke tumhare pichhe ayegi." Remember that iconic line from 3 Idiots? Turns out, it applies to the world of corporate sales too! Here’s how I see the sales funnel and the role of sales agents through the lens of this brilliant Bollywood masterpiece: 1️⃣ The Funnel is Like Rancho’s Approach to Life: 🧬 Yaar, Rancho believed in focusing on the process rather than obsessing over results. In sales, the funnel is our process. From prospecting to closing, each stage demands focus, creativity, and patience. When we genuinely nurture leads, solve customer pain points, and add value, the results (revenue) naturally follow. 2️⃣ Sales Agents = The Trio of Rancho, Raju, and Farhan:🙈 🙉 🙊 Rancho (The Visionary): Thinks outside the box, understands the client deeply, and offers tailored solutions. Raju: The cautious one, balancing risk and reward. This is the agent who meticulously analyzes the pipeline, follows up with discipline, and ensures no lead slips through the cracks. ( Maa ki Saadi, Kammo ki shaadi and Job 🙄 ) Farhan: The storyteller who follows his passion. In sales, storytelling is king. The best agents bring products to life, connecting with clients on an emotional level while keeping the pitch authentic. (Abbu Nahi maanenge 🫣 Story) A great sales team combines the strengths of all three. 3️⃣ Obstacles Are Like Virus: 👨‍🦳 Every sales funnel has its challenges: unresponsive leads, budget constraints, or unexpected competition. These obstacles can feel like Virus, the rigid principal. But just like Rancho’s persistence, innovation, and optimism ultimately win the day, so can our creative strategies and resilience in overcoming sales hurdles. (Life is like a Broken Andaa, Par Rancho Saare hurdle paar kiya, race se hatke kaam kiya 🫡 ) 4️⃣ Delivering the “All is Well” Moment: 🕺 💃 Closing a deal isn’t just about hitting targets; it’s about creating value and building relationships. Like Raju landing his dream job or Farhan pursuing his passion, it’s a win that brings mutual satisfaction for both client and seller. ( Finally Abbu Maangaye, Kammo ki shaadi bhi fix hogayi and Maa ki saadi ke saath saath Job bhi milgayi." ALL IS WELL") 🎬 The Takeaway: Sales isn’t just about numbers; it’s about passion, persistence, and people. Like 3 Idiots, it’s a journey of learning, adapting, and creating impact. Whether you’re climbing the funnel or mentoring a team, remember: "Success ki pichhe mat bhaago, excellence ka peechha karo. Success jhak marke tumhare pichhe ayegi." How do you relate sales to something unexpected like a movie or a book? Let’s hear your stories in the comments! 👇 #Unlearnproduct #Sales #SalesFunnel #CorporateSales #Storytelling #Motivation #PM

Sutradhar: A Gateway to Indian Mythology and Storytelling I came across this interesting app Sutradhar which is a mobile app that aims to bring ancient Indian stories and mythology to modern audiences. The name "Sutradhar" means "narrator" in Sanskrit, reflecting the app's focus on storytelling. Founded by Satish Meena and Gaurav Tiwari in 2020, aiming to preserve and promote Indian cultural heritage by making ancient stories accessible to a wider audience. This app includes: ✅ Daily Stories: The app offers a daily dose of new stories, drawn from ancient Indian epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana, Puranas, and other mythological texts. ✅Visual Storytelling: These stories are presented in a visually appealing format, often with animations, illustrations, or short videos. ✅Interactive Elements: Sutradhar incorporates interactive elements like quizzes, puzzles, and games to make learning about mythology more engaging for users. ✅Educational Content: Beyond storytelling, the app also provides educational content related to Indian history, culture, and philosophy. ✅Merchandise: Sutradhar offers a range of merchandise, including books, games, and collectibles, based on the stories and characters featured in the app Do let me know your thoughts in the comments. #brandstories #brands #marketing

One of the best examples of Power of #Visualization in #problemsolving.😀✌️ It's like turning a confusing recipe into a picture book – suddenly, everything makes sense! Instead of drowning in data, you get neat charts and diagrams that say, "Hey, here’s your solution!" It’s like giving your brain a cheat code because visuals are way easier to remember. When working with a team, everyone stops speaking in riddles and starts seeing the same picture. Plus, it sparks creativity – like, "Oh, there’s the answer hiding in plain sight!" So, visualization is basically turning a brain workout into a fun, colorful game where everyone wins.

❤️ #HeartTouchingVideo #SoulSearchingQuestions #PatrioticThoughts Continuing with last week's Patriotic Independence Day message series! I am sharing "10 RUPEES," a Malayalam short film directed by Yuvaraj Gokul. This film has a patriotic narrative that revolves around the significance of a 10-rupee note. It highlights the journey of this note through various hands, showcasing the diverse lives & struggles of ordinary Indians. #TouchingBackdropStory: A girl's father died in the line of duty during the 2020 Galwan conflict with China, when they attempted to encroach on the Galwan Valley in Ladakh. She expresses her pain over the fact that we still buy cheap, China-made Indian flags from the people who killed her Dad and many other soldiers. She feels her Dad is still alive with her, hoping for change! Moved by her story, her close friend starts making quality, homemade recyclable Indian flags as an alternative to Chinese products. However, everyone around her negotiates for lower prices, comparing them to the cheap China store in the corner. She has few #SoulSearchingQuestions and #TouchingQuestions below for the army officer, such as: 1. Why do we buy cheap foreign items for petty benefits, making them richer, instead of supporting local products and neighborhood vendors? 2. How are they able to make items at such low prices, why not us? The army officer buys all her flags to distribute freely to his team and neighborhood. #PowerfulDepartingMessage: Army officer says that India, as a democracy, does not aim to capture the global market by forcing people to work 12-14 hours a day using cloning machines like others to make cheap product etc. If each of the 1.36 billion Indians starts to think along these lines and does some soul searching and starts buying local made items and support them, India will become a superpower very soon. ❤️The impressive message in end emphasizes the #PowerOfUnity and the #CollectiveSpirit of the Indian people. It highlights how even a small amount, like 10 rupees, can make a significant impact when everyone contributes. The film underscores the importance of every individual's role in building a stronger, more #ResilientNation, celebrating the essence of patriotism and #CommunitySpirit. The film emphasizes the value of even the smallest denomination in the Indian Currency 10INR, symbolizing unity and the collective spirit of the nation. Its message is deeply rooted in patriotism, celebrating the resilience & strength of the Indian people. It's a powerful reminder that every contribution, no matter how small, can help shape a better future for the country. It's a touching tribute to the spirit of India, perfect for commemorating Independence Day.
