How is humour a key driver of behaviour change - for society, for brands ?  How has comedy become the preferred way for Young India to communicate ?  When customers are creating funnier content, how do agencies and marketers encourage customers to drive conversation?  Karthik Kumar, Director at Evam Entertainment & Sideways Training, answers the above questions and shares his experience as a stand-up comedian, mentor of a comedy show and a theatre artist.  Please connect with him on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karthik-kumar-2865861/  Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt.

Humour breaks one's defences and allows people to think, to feel become vulnerable. . When they laugh they become silly, they open up. And in that moment of openness and vulnerability you can put something into their heads - an idea, an opportunity or a brand. Humour is a celebration of Silliness. Silly is what makes baby laugh. You have to become silly to make baby laugh. Karthik shares his views on importance of Standup Comedy in Society and how Stand Up Comedy has become 'cool' for kids & youth. School children aspire to be stand up comics and the time for comedy has arrived. Younger India wants to talk to power through reels , memes and comedy video.  Karthik believes that the clown has true power and influence. You love the person who makes you laugh because you feel they want the best for you. And the emergence of the Clown and the short form videos content has truly changed the rule for customer engagement. To engage with your audience and your customer, you need to be local and relevant. Therefore advertising agencies have to create a medium for customers to participate and co-create a message. Brands have to let consumers drive the brand conversation. The truth is out there and brands need to be authentic and make a genuine effort to drive conversations.  Follow Jagged with Jasravee on Social Media  Youtube Page : https://www.youtube.com/JaggedWithJasravee Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/jaggedwithjasravee  Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/jagggedwithjasravee/  Podcast Page : https://anchor.fm/jagged-with-jasravee  Jagged with Jasravee, is an initiative of Master Sun, the Consulting Brand of Adiva Lifestyle Pvt Ltd.

Why do SMEs/Family Businesses/Startups need to perceive brand building as an investment and not an expense ?  While brands cannot be built overnight, how can brands become a growth engine for SMEs and startups ?  Why SMEs and startups need to look beyond intermediaries and focus on deeply understanding their current customers and their potential customers?  Sameer Joshi & Anindya Ghosh, the founding parts and the head & heart of Sam & Andy, address how SMEs and Family Businesses can embrace brand building as a growth engine. Sameer Joshi & Anindya Ghosh enjoy more than 36+ years of cumulative work experience in strategic marketing, brand management, digital solutions & mainline advertising, having worked in some of the top communication agencies in India.  Please reach them on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-and-andy-brand-consultancy-b29649166/  Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt.

Building brands is always seen as an expense and never as an investment amongst certain segments of the business, like SME/MSME/Start-ups, Family-owned businesses, B2B – the age-old debate. Also, there is this somewhat myth that sales will increase immediately if someone builds a brand overnight. These stand truer today post the Covid-era, and that even for the established brands - putting survival as an apparent reason to stop spending when it comes to brand building, marketing and communications. But if brand is developed with solid clarity & focus, it becomes the growth engine. Yes, even in the post Covid-era.  One needs to believe in providing clarity to the brand for maximum output. Importantly, this clarity becomes the sole compass while charting out the Go-to-Market strategy for a brand. The segment that Sam & Andy service is good at doing business. They believe that they can’t teach them how to do business. They are sales driven and as far as dhandha is happening they are fine. In this bargain, when you ask them what they stand for or what business they are into or who buys them & why or what they sell & what their customers buy, there is no clarity even about single-line definition of their business.  Once they get clarity, it becomes easier for them to map the future growth trajectory. The next generation can see-through as why they want to join this business or brand. Every business face challenges, and one has to frame a priority ladder to address the same. No challenges can be solved on a temporary basis or always in fire-fighting mode; one has to plan a long-term “solution” for the same.  Follow Jagged with Jasravee on Social Media Youtube Page : https://www.youtube.com/JaggedWithJasravee Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/jaggedwithjasravee Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/jagggedwithjasravee/ Podcast Page : https://anchor.fm/jagged-with-jasravee Jagged with Jasravee, is an initiative of Master Sun, the Consulting Brand of Adiva Lifestyle Pvt Ltd.

What does hyper-personalisation mean ?  How it is done and why do marketers consider it an effective strategy?  How do we apply hyper-personalisation for fashion retail and entertainment ? What were key aspects of the marketing strategy in making Celio ( a French menswear brand) ‘One of the Most Promising Brands at ET Promising Brands Awards?  Abhishek Shetty answers the above questions and more as he takes us on a journey of explaining how marketing campaigns should influence human behaviour. Abhishek currently leads the Brand, content marketing and communications piece at Sony LIV.  Abhishek on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhishekshettyisb/  Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt. Ltd. Jasravee has over 20 years experience as a Strategic Brand Builder,Communications Leader and Entrepreneur.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasravee/  Subscribe to Jagged with Jasravee on Youtube  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUo6M-uODgb7gIEO014XIGg?sub_confirmation=1  Abhishek believes that the ultimate goal of any marketing campaign is to influence human behavior. He is a huge fan of neuroscience. He believes that right personalised marketing messaging fundamentally takes advantage of individuals’ heuristics, their intuitions, their rules of thumb, their impulses, their myopia, and their laziness... to drive conversion and induce purchase or consideration.  Abhishek believes that the core idea behind hyper- personalisation is to use the concept of familiarity. Unconsciously we give preference to things and people we are familiar with. So how does this play out in the world of consumers. There are two basic concepts 1. Cognitive fluency: Our brains are lazy and that plays a role in purchase decision making! Simplicity becomes key to conversion. Essentially the more we are exposed to something the more likely we are to develop a preference to buy it. 2. Habit Loop: When you’re a habitual Amazon user, it’s unlikely that you’ll purchase elsewhere. Even if the product you’re looking for is available, you’ll check (and prefer to convert via) Amazon because it’s familiar, it’s safe.  The proliferation of digital channels through which people interact with brands – social, text, email, voice or chatbot – has created a perfect storm for those mastering customer service. The challenge is how do you gather all the information together and have a “single source of truth” on the customer? Abhishek talks about his stint as marketing head at French menswear brand Celio. The challenges were steep, many international brands had taken on Indians’ consciousness - like Zara, H&M. The audiences were diverse; millennials as well as more mature ones with drastically different attitudes to international brands ; residing in a Patna (tier II and tier III towns) as well as a Mumbai.  Follow Jagged with Jasravee on Social Media  Youtube Page : https://www.youtube.com/JaggedWithJasravee Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/jaggedwithjasravee  Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/jagggedwithjasravee/  Podcast Page : https://anchor.fm/jagged-with-jasravee  Jagged with Jasravee, is an initiative of Master Sun, the Consulting Brand of Adiva Lifestyle Pvt Ltd.

Neeraj Sharma, Head Strategic Planning @ Rediffusion talks about interesting insights on new moms in India which he leveraged for developing campaigns for Johnson Baby products in India.  The biggest mistake we make as a culture to forget the person and only see her as a mother. And most of the issues they face as a new mother is our judgement on them. He talks about how they managed to re-invent Bisleri into a distinctive preferred purchase brand through the award winning Camel campaign after the brand had become a generic word for the category, and its strength had become its weakness.  He shares interesting thoughts on how to plan digital brand strategy using a digital consumer journey, and the role of digital activations. He shares an interesting case study on how to market to teenagers, insights on a teenager's life and how to deal with the problem of being judged.  Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt.

And most of the issues they face as a new mother is our judgement on them. It’s not a good feeling when she suddenly sees all the attention she got before the child-birth transferred to the kid. No one wants to see herself just a carrier of the child like a machine. Thing to remember is being a mother adds to a woman's personality. It doesn’t destroy who she is.  In case of Bisleri the business problem was that it's strength had become its weakness. Bisleri became a generic name for bottled water and hence people became ok to have any bottled water even if they ask for Bisleri. So the key task was how can we convince them to have only Bisleri when they ask for it. The campaign addressed this issue with the theme that " Samjhdar jante hain har pani ki bottle Bisleri nahi" through the Mother camel and baby camel commercial which propelled it to become the most trusted brand in India as per ET Brand survey. The Camel along with the green packaging made the brand distinctive. Neeraj talks about the story of Clean & Clear and how the brand kept it real for the young teenagers, since the teenage audience sniggers at anything that is not them or relatable. The insight was that teens want to do so many things are but afraid of judgement Hence the brand positioning 'See the real Me' . The brand team went to colleges and hung out with teenage kids and gave them the product. They allowed the teenagers to shape up the communication, so that the communication is real just like the positioning...’see the real me’. Across other countries the Clean & Clear communication is thematic while in India it is pretty functional. This is because of the brand status and life cycle in the country.

Now the challenge was that Indian regulations did not allow us to show, say or write nerves in the TVC. Think about it. A nerve health medicine, and you are not allowed to say, write or show nerves. Now what do you do? The other anecdote was on the WHO ORS campaign, where the team were planning a TVC. The team decided to test the story in the rural India. So the brand head and Atin, the copywriter, travelled to these rural centers to literally narrate the story and gauge the TG’s reactions. The film was about diarrhoea. It showed a doll, as the VO talked about diarrhoea and water loss, losing water and wilting. But as he was narrating that story, he witnessed horror dawn on the faces of the women who were listening. But what in his creative flourish he didn’t realise that while he was narrating the story vividly, the women were visualising their own child wilting away. And he thinks that was the day, the needle moved in his life when he realised the great responsibility they have as communication creators to keep empathy and responsibility in mind when we creating healthcare communications. Another episode was humanising communications and treating doctors as human beings. The pharma companies believe that doctors are scientific beings who only care about the scientific aspects and show no emotions.  Follow Jagged with Jasravee on Social Media Youtube Page : https://www.youtube.com/JaggedWithJasravee Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/jaggedwithjasravee Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/jagggedwithjasravee/ Podcast Page : https://anchor.fm/jagged-with-jasravee Jagged with Jasravee, is an initiative of Master Sun, the Consulting Brand of Adiva Lifestyle Pvt Ltd.

Meraj Hasan, Chief Marketing Officer, Welspun Global Brands Limited talks about some of his key brand launch and positioning experiences on Reliance Jio launch in India, Tata Sky launch in India, Airtel launch in Sri Lanka and the genesis of the Pampers 'It takes Two' campaign. Meraj Hasan is a Marketing & Communications professional with 20 years of rich and expansive experience traversing Corporate Houses, Creative Agencies, Categories, Brands & Nations.  Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt.

Tata Sky was positioned as a never before viewing experience, a 10 X entertainment. The teaser showed everything that one has been using for entertainment being thrown out of the houses. Since they will not need it. So that’s what Tata Sky was meant to do for your life, something mysterious and something which is 10 X entertainment..…and of course can only be understood after an experience of it.This was expressed creatively through the line 'Isko laga dala to life jinga lala'  He also discusses the launch of Reliance Jio and how Jio came into the picture with a huge vision. Mukesh Bhai (Mukesh Ambani). always believes that what is good for India is good for our business too. So when the logo was asked to include ‘digital life’ it completed the thought. ‘jio’ being ‘growth’. This is how Reliance group’s commitment to growth gets played out. We know how data is the oil lubricating the wheels of the new economy. Internet is like fire. When fire was discovered and how it drove progress; the same way data is feeling our progress today.  He also talks about launching Airtel in Sri Lanka. He talks about his month long immersion in Sri Lanka market to prepare for the launch. Sri Lanka is a very polite country and quite talkative as well. But when it came to using mobiles they used it like perfume and sprays. Sri Lankans are very proud of their heritage, their nature. They are awed by Bollywood. So the launch ad combined all these aspects- what they are proud of and what they aspire for. Shahrukh’s coming in and saying Hello Sri Lanka was a way to ride on Lankan fascination for Bollywood. Further the Airtel Indian tune (which is A.R. Rahman composition) was re-recorded through Sri Lankan folk instrument and the effect was mesmerising.   Follow Jagged with Jasravee on Social Media Youtube Page : https://www.youtube.com/JaggedWithJasravee Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/jaggedwithjasravee Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/jagggedwithjasravee/ Podcast Page : https://anchor.fm/jagged-with-jasravee Jagged with Jasravee, is an initiative of Master Sun, the Consulting Brand of Adiva Lifestyle Pvt Ltd.

Divya Khanna shares her experience of working on Liquor Brands in India. She observes that it was very challenging, communicating/ advertising a product when you cannot show it or talk about it. Nor would the liquor brands do any promotions which could seen as an attempt to encourage consumption. For example they would never do any promotions like ‘buy one and one free’.  Divya Khanna is a Strategist & Writer.She has 18+ years of experience in brand strategy. Her last full-time job was as a Vice President & Strategic Planning Director, J. Walter Thompson Bangalore. She has experience across a range of FMCG, Fashion & Lifestyle brands at J. Walter Thompson and Lowe Lintas.  Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt. Ltd.

It tries to capture the mood consumers will be in when consuming the product or enables creating the mood in which the consumers will consume the product. Brand Signature is for consumers that value achievement. Its for those on the move. Brand Black Dog on the other hand is for moments of contemplation, for internal introspection. Liquor advertising has been about 'out of home' consumption. All moods showcased in advertising have been about out of home consumption. At home consumption has never been encouraged. So it will be interesting to see how brands are adapting to the changed COVID times when the home has become the destination for all re-creation and entertainment. Divya dwells on the usage of Neuro-marketing.  When you are selling images and moods and not a tangible product it becomes challenging to use conventional market research.Market Research measures system 1 and system 2 thinking. System 1 is the brain's automatic, intuitive, and unconscious thinking mode. System 1 is more influential and guides our day-to-day decisions. System 1 is very important since it is the unconscious desires we have. You cannot take consumers for what they say. And this where Neuroscience comes to our aid in measuring system 1 processes of the brain. With EEG and eye track you can measure now what could not be tracked and understood earlier. Critical measures like where attention is spiking or faltering can now be very clearly seen.  Divya then dwells on her long association of working on brand Rin. Rin as a brand is centred on consumers who have ambition. Since consumers were a little poorer Divya assumed that they would be gloomy and negative. But they were very optimistic and aware of opportunities. At that time the talent and reality shows like Indian Idol, Kaun Banega Crorepati were firing the imagination of the lower middle class. They realised their child could have an amazing career in singing, sports. So that is what the mother doing laundry thought and that is what her emotions characterised.  Follow Jagged with Jasravee on Social Media Youtube Page : https://www.youtube.com/JaggedWithJasravee Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/jaggedwithjasravee Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/jagggedwithjasravee/ Podcast Page : https://anchor.fm/jagged-with-jasravee Jagged with Jasravee, is an initiative of Master Sun, the Consulting Brand of Adiva Lifestyle Pvt Ltd.

Rishabha Nayyar is currently Head of Strategy at 82.5 Communications, a WPP Ogilvy company is spearheading strategy across all offices. Rishabha talks about how purpose is manifesting within the brands and their communication. He talks of purpose that is expressed through the products or service that the brands provide  like Apple.

Subscribe to Jagged with Jasravee on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUo6M-uODgb7gIEO014XIGg?sub_confirmation=1 More and more consumers are increasingly not just wanting to be a part of a society but play an active role in shaping that society as well. Like we often keep saying, consumers are not just buying brands anymore, they are buying INTO brands. Another way for brands to express purpose is through product or service and communication like Tom. Both these models works from a brand building point of view as long as what you are saying is meaningful and authentic.  For a brand getting it right, Rishabha feels that 3 things that need to come together – the cultural truth needs to be real and relatable with the audience, the brand needs to have a point-of-view that resonates with the people it serves and the role of the brand needs to be integral in making the change a reality. He cites  ‘Help a Child Reach 5’ campaign as a good example. He takes an example of when the brand gets it wrong. He cites a case of  famous dishwash brand talking about how it can help you save minutes to create an identity for yourself as a woman! He feels that in doing so the brand is perceived as being opportunistic rather than having a real intent.  Rishabha believes that as consumers become more socially conscious, as they aspire to make an impact on the world that they live in, they will more and more seek brands that align with them on belief than benefits. From that point of view, I believe every brand needs to have a larger purpose that drives everything that the brand does. However, it should not become a mandatory piece to build a brand. People are still more than happy to buy brands for the functional or emotional benefits that they offer. He highlights 5 Important Questions Brands Need to Answer to be Purpose-Driven What is the primary motivation to take on a larger purpose ? Wanting to make a real difference or a new tactic to get noticed Is the change that the purpose wants to bring about something that is universally sought by the target audience?  Is the purpose statement one where I as a brand can do more than just preach?  Am I as a brand willing to embrace that purpose beyond just communication?  Is the performance metric on purpose going to be the social good that was realised or a conventional brand / marketing parameter?

Meraj Hasan was until recently Chief Marketing Officer, Welspun Global Brands Limited. The key question on Welspun Flooring that Meraj answers is  Could you explain the innovation that has the potential to change how we look at a floor?  What were the existing beliefs and how did the various marketing efforts intend to change them? How did you use influencer marketing - Masaba ? Why?  What was the intention? Elaborate on Spatium in context of office design; relevance in Covid times?  Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt.

There are a few brands like Asian Paints, Kajaria Ceramics etc. These brands have educated the consumer and you have a shortening cycle of purchase where the customer wants to change the decor more frequently. But does this apply to flooring ? The answer is emphatic No. Flooring is available in limited colors, grey and white. Also, it is considered a very lengthy process to get it changed. You have to move out of the house. There is dust and mess in the house. The innovation by Welspun Flooring enables the change of a flooring in just 1 day. There is a click and lock system that enables that. Besides it is available in many colours and textures for home, corporate and hospitality sector needs. The installation is dust and noise free. And these floors are easy to maintain When the product itself was disruptive, the marketing too had to be disruptive as well. So it was a multi pronged strategy.  We used Mr Amitabh Bachchan, who is also as a Welspun Brand ambassador. He had already been an endorser for Welspun bed sheets and towels. This helped us break clutter and a new sheen of credibility. Then we had to convey the ease of installation and impact on experience of living. We made three ads with a young couple, most likely early adopters. I thought of taking a relatable couple. The couple Shakti Arora and Neha Saxena are a couple in a TV series as well as in real life. That chemistry was very important and I ensured that by picking this couple. In the ads we have taken three different situations, home, vacation and corporate. So we wanted to show ease of changing the flooring for all the three sectors. And we have explained the product innovation with nice music in an engaging manner. The influencer program, a digital chat series called ‘Masters of Design’ was taken up because in the home construction as well as interior design sector the architects are the ones who dictate the terms. So they need to be appeased. To be able to have an eye level conversation with the architects we decided to take up this influencer program.  And when we took up an association with Masaba Gupta and Elle Decor. This association helped us pick all the desired associations. Hafeez Contractor is like Amitabh Bachchan of the architect world. Once he featured in this program called ‘Masters of Design’; other architects also started calling us to be part of the program.  Follow Jagged with Jasravee on Social Media Youtube Page : https://www.youtube.com/JaggedWithJasravee Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/jaggedwithjasravee Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/jagggedwithjasravee/ Podcast Page : https://anchor.fm/jagged-with-jasravee Jagged with Jasravee, is an initiative of Master Sun, the Consulting Brand of Adiva Lifestyle Pvt Ltd.

A conversation with Rishabha Nayyar with Jasravee Kaur Chandra in this new episode of Jagged with Jasravee addresses some key questions like  What are the current stereotypes of men in advertising and popular culture?  How to un-stereotype men and develop a progressive narrative for men?  Why do we make men appear as villain, whenever we make woman a hero ?  Why can't a brand redefine how a man ought to be ?  Why can't men potrayal be real and authentic in popular culture? Rishabha argues than 'bashing men' has become a formula for every FMCG brand trying to woo the women. Create the man to be a villain. A good for nothing, unreasonable and demanding character who would probably even put the Bollywood villains to shame. He comes across as Mogambo of movie ‘Mr India’.   Rishabha analyses advertising and cinema in our country over the last 10 years and comes up with typical stereotypes of men in popular culture  Macho Man : Very brave, risk-taking and adventurous. Boys envy him and girls adore him. Fear or vulnerability are not word that exist in his dictionary  Insensitive Man: Believes that while the Mughals have left the country, he is still their descendant and should therefore be treated like royalty. Will sit and do nothing. For him everyone is a servant  Provider : He is the male version of ‘Mother India’ in the context of doing things for others. He lives to only fulfil the dreams of everyone other than himself. He gets great joy in never doing something that makes him happy   Rishabha asks the fundamental question- Why does a man need to be the ‘Chief wage Earner’? Why can’t he be one of the wage earners.Why put so much pressure on him. He believes that the man of tomorrow wants to do things for the family but also fulfil his own dreams and desires. He wants to be a co-parent and not the absent parent. An interesting case in point is the SBI Life  ad wherein the husband quits his job and lives his dream of  doing a stand-up comedy    Rishabha argues that the problem with continuing to put out the traditional masculine stereotypes is two-fold. One we are being as unfair to men, like we we were to women, in the past. If un-stereotype women is a movement, then we should start a similar movement for men. Secondly, we are slowing down the pace of change for men in the society as the role models that we are putting out are regressive, dated and stereo-typical.                      Rishaba thinks that what is missing when it comes to the narrative on men is authenticity. Neither is the guy in the ‘Share the Load’ ad real nor is the ‘Complete Man’. Why does the take on men have to be so black and white? As with all things in life, men too have their greys. Why can’t brands project them like that? The problem with the extreme projections that we currently have is that they are devoid of reality and as a result do not set the right expectations.He rounds it by discussing issues like should men themselves stop shying away from the reality and openly express their vulnerability / and raise a voice against incorrect portrayal .  #whatmenwant​​ #consumertrends​ #thecompleteman be real and authentic ?   Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt.

Rishabha Nayyar is currently National Head of Strategy at 82.5 Communications, a WPP Ogilvy company. In this conversation at the jagged edges, Rishabha passionately expresses his views on some of the key concerns of the advertising and marketing Industry.  He clarifies how Brand Purpose should not just used be a marketing gimmick but as an instrument of real change. He emphasises how brands will have bigger ideas if they accessed more of ‘dil se’ insights that is thick data rather than excessively on the logical big data. He wondered why a progressive narrative on men is completely absent in advertising and media; and brands continue to portray men through outdated stereotypes.  Rishabha has over 17 years of corporate and entrepreneurial experience in which he has been a part of the brand building and communication story of more than 50 different brands (MNC, Indian, Leaders, Disruptors, Start-ups)  Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt.

What does brand having a purpose mean? Why it has become mandatory to have a Brand Purpose?  2. When do brands gets the purpose right . What are the factors that lead to a brand getting this right ? How does that brand benefit? How do people/ consumers benefit ?  3. When and how is it that having a brand purpose gets abused ? Discussions on brand purpose included discussing examples of Apple, Surf (Daag Achche Hai Campaign ), Dove - Real Beauty Campaign , Fair & Lovely, Ariel - Share the Load Campaign, Whisper - Touch the Pickle Campaign  Conversation on Big Data, Thick Data & Consumer Insight The conversation explores the reasons for over reliance on Big Data? It deals with the question of complexity of human beings and thus how can ‘thick data’ be excluded?  The conversation delves on how were the Dil Se Insights (Thick data) available earlier, what changed and why?Is thick data losing out on credibility? Or just considered non-essential by the clients? But then isn't it critical for developing innovation? Thick data provides the context, emotion, a narrative in form of a story which is needed for the creative briefing process for the creative to take an imaginative leap from the thought.  And is critical to understanding the real picture. Rishabha discussed how can agencies take up this work to enrich the briefing and creative process and his preferred methodologies for thick data. Rishabha outlines five things he would mandate in an agency for ensuring communication process is equipped with ‘dil se’ insights Conversation about Un-stereotyping Men in Media & Mass Communication The conversations veers around questions like “Are all men the same? Are all men supposed to be complete men?
