You oughta know..Inbound Marketing …says Alanis Morissette!

-
Found an interesting creative at Ravi Kiran’s blog on Inbound Marketing -


As a parody on the famous song by Alanis Morissette, “You oughta know” (watch the original Song here) , the musical takes you through the specifics of Inbound Marketing. Comparing with outbound marketing (TV Ads, Direct Mailers or cold calling), the creative ‘sings’ and musically conveys why and how inbound marketing is beneficial and how can it be made effective.

The lyrics go like “Marketing is like torture as they hang up on you”, “Cold Calls, Direct Mail and TV Ads fail” and “Every time I try to sell, did you know they say you go to hell”. With details like SEO, inbound links, blogging, landing pages, tagging content, and page rankings – the song says it all…..truly, something, we oughta know!

A nice way to use parody to talk about a theoretical topic and explain it so well – Kudos to the creator Rebecca Corliss, of Hub Spot

Incidentally, this creative took me to Hub Spot - An excellent blog on Inbound marketing – worth going in detail and learning about the concept. If you are using online marketing as part of your professional efforts, you can go there before me :)

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
