Hi mik and gauri...'
Its a good idea to start a thread on sibm CM only...i have my gd pi on 18th 8 am slot. My Xat percentile is 91.75... And my label is MXE. Dunno what that means...i am from Mumbai, have an advertising background. With a degree in Advertising and am working in an ad agency right now. Am planning to look up my old college books to brush up the basics in advertising. Also trying to get my hands on books on the slogans etc of the current brands. I think its a good idea to also look at the global aspect of Advertising and Indias position in the global scenario. Please let me know if you have any specific query. We could also start a GK session here on PG on some well known brands, their slogans and who handles them. It would help.
For example:
An instance of great Media Blocking by any brand?
Dandi namak
A teaser campaign that flopped?
Digen verma frooti
A teaser campaugn that worked?
Jassi
A brand with a high brand equity?
Amul
A brand who handled a crisis well?
Cadbury
An example of umbrella branding?
Amul
A brand that has become generic with the product?
Xerox, Zip
Thats all i can remember right now...lets continue to add on to this discussion....
For now...
Bubye
