Nudity in Advertisements
One of the marketing concepts taught to us last semester included not to have promotions based on nudity or that indicative of any traces of racism. Nude advertisements sound weird and people would wonder about how an advertisement can be nude, however, the example given by our teacher was quite self explanatory, it was Magnum’s [...]
Brand Personification
Brand personification is a concept which is rather new in our market as the rate of oblivion is surprising when especially you try to do some research on this topic. It’s a concept prevailing in the Western market since the 1940′s and 50′s, however, marketers over here have started making good use of it recently. [...]
‘Cherry-Pick-ism’ Is My Brand of Religion
Talk about brand of religion! I say rather than calling mullahs extremists* we should call ourselves ‘Cherry-Pick-ists’. This term specifically means to follow what is easy part remaining heedless to the difficult bit. Just like the ripe cherries are plucked and the unripe ones are not, our religious conduct meets a similar fate. This is [...]

Use of Language in Advertisements
Language is an interesting tool to persuade or to stop others from acting or thinking in a certain way.

The Real Gene behind College Jeans
I remember watching 50:50 and I also remember that I used to laugh like anything for their amazing content of humor…a show of its own kind, or should I say, one of a kind. But then again, for a decade I was unable to find a slightly familiar type of television drama or sitcom that [...]

Viral Marketing – ACHOO!!! Excuse Me!
Bless you! Viral marketing simply putting it is word of mouth advertising, because it has the characteristic of spreading like a flu virus. This is why it is called viral marketing.

Ufone – Flashback
There are very few local ads that leave their mark on the mind of the viewer instantly. Not that there aren’t good ads being made but for how long does one recall them is still quite unpredictable. Some very nicely made ads also lose their charm after being watched twice or thrice. And some can even become annoying as they keep popping up on [...]

I have been a cell phone freak since I got my hands on my first ever cellphone (which is obviously not worth mentioning). The first ever mobile connection that I got was of Mobilink Jazz and what attracted me towards getting it was probably its catchy way of calling people towards it, lets just say [...]

The summer season has hit and with it starts the season of the carbonated soft drinks (CSDs). And so their advertising takes a front seat.
