100 P-osts..

This is my 100th post on Read between the Ps.
For many bloggers, 100 posts is nothing. For others, it might still be nothing...

The pic here shows kids celebrating their 100th day of kindergarten school. I indeed have completed 100 days of my kindergarten school. It has been a great learning throughout and I must admit - Working on each of the entries has been quite an experience!

Hope to continue reading between the Ps this year too.. and getting perspectives from my expert colleagues and friends.

Thanks!

Back to work now….
Here are a couple of must-see collections of Campaigns which I discovered lately

(1) The Legendary series from Leo Burnett has some of the best International Campaigns since the 1960s. Though some of them are familiar, there are some pieces that are absolutely marvelous and a must-see for every Marketer!

(2) The other set of campaigns is closer home – A set of all TV Ads of Fevicol. Fevicol has been known for some of the best creatives ever produced. The brains behind the campaign come from Ogilvy & Mather who have created award winning advertisements with Pidilite. Fevicol Ads have enjoyed very high recalls and some of the Ads are familiar even today. The link contains all the TV Ads from 1996 onwards. Have a look.

Anti-Smoking Campaigns - me too ...

I have been discussing Smoking and cigarettes quite a bit (2 entries to be precise). I had earlier talked about Jim’s Burnt Offerings and then, a couple of days back, I discussed Chicago’s Smokers’ Lounge . In order to prevent any conscious and sub-conscious criticism , I decided to absolve this blog of any promotional intentions for smoking… Here are some good campaigns I have collated from various sources, all underlying the theme of “ Anti-smoking ”…Have a look.. (Click to view the enlarged version) In fact, there is a particular graph that explains the entire cycle of rejection or abandonment of a previously adopted product or service. This model was put forward by Everett Rogers and has been discussed as an exception to the “Classic” diffusion model An effective anti-smoking campaign would be an example of such a trend, where the habit of smoking is gradually abandoned. Another clichéd example would be the rejection of an older technology to be replaced with a new one. That i

Acknowledgements for this entry go to the interviewers in my last mock-interview, who asked my about the SEC bands and specifics! SEC, i.e. Socio-economic Classification is a classification made in the urban and the rural sector, to identify the consumption pattern and the household purchase behavior. Based on education levels, occupation, type of household , etc. the population is divided into separate bands, called the Socio-economic Classes. The Urban Sector is divided into SEC A1, A2, B1, B2, C, D, E1, E2 (Calculated as a function of Educational qualifications of the CWE* and his occupation) The Rural Sector is divided into SEC R1, R2, R3, R4 (Calculated as a function of Educational Qualifications of the CWE* and the type of the household he stays in – Pucca, Semi Pucca or Kaccha) Following is the exact division in the Rural Sector: ( Source : Ficci Press Release ) Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find out the exact details about the urban classification. But Accord

All women need to strip off….

..the biases ..the stereotypes ..the perceptions ..the others in you No this is not a note on pornographic innuendoes, neither is it a set of tips to succeed in an MCP world. This is a collection of a little reflection, inspired by the monotony of over empathizing celebrations of Women’s day! Have you ever wondered - Why is Pink Panther a comedy and Black Panther an action hero film? Why is it that in spite of more movies in Bollywood now with lady protagonists, the Superhits – the highest grosers are still the ones that drive machismo? Why does our behavior towards women in our lives get determined by the lunar calendar? Is respect for women seasonal? Right from childhood to whatever you might term as “later stage of life” – women go through stereotypes. Some use hashtags to summarize their #MeToos, while others lock themselves in a room, praying for a better afterlife or silently waiting for the Phoenix to get up and change the world! Some empathize with their co-sufferer
