Social responsibility in social media

Social media is no more just a platform or a medium. It has become a virtual world that has a great influence on how people form their opinions. Being in the communication business, our work sends out a message to the audience. We feel a great sense of responsibility to keep the messaging positive and progressive as far as possible.

Need of the hour

One word – Innovation

We learned the hard way

Setting the expectations right – As the saying goes, you give someone a finger and they’ll demand the hand. Digital being an advanced platform from targeting and measurability standpoint, clients sometimes have skyrocketing expectations. It is essential to set the right expectations from the beginning.

Did we just share that?

We were managing a wild card entry campaign for a modelling reality show and that’s when we realized “Women will be women”!

It was India’s first WhatsApp based wild-card entry campaign where models were supposed to send their selfies on WhatsApp and brand would see the images live on a big dashboard. We had a team of boys managing the campaign and we realized that turn-around time in publishing images on the dashboard was more than expected.

We thought that given the “Men will be men” rule, boys were taking more time analyzing the entries. So we replaced the team with a team of zero girls. We expected it to improve but then realized that girls were spending more time on each image than boys did.

They work with us

Oreo, Nestle USA, Madison Media, Marico, Saffola, Parachute, Livon, Zee Cinema, Intelenet Global Services, Robomate+, MT Educare Ltd, Dubai City Center, Danube UAE, Airo UAE, 1Axcess UAE and quite a few funded startups.

Industry as we foresee

Social media is progressively becoming a larger part of people’s lives day by day. With 24% of the population in India using social media, we are already one of the most happening places in social media marketing. Imagine the scale of spends, innovations and activities brands will push when more than half of the country will be on social media!

A day without Internet

Is the day when you realize there are humans who live around you.

Lastly, are you hiring?
