For the cricket world cup 2011, Pepsi came up with the latest ad campaign “Change the game”. A lot of cricket stars like MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, Sehwag, Suresh Raina and Kevin Peitersen are their brand ambassadors. This ad campaign showcases Pepsi as one of the main factors in these cricket players learning a few special skills which sets them apart on the field. Dhoni learns his ‘helicopter shot’, Harbhajan spins his ‘doosra’, Pietersen learns the ‘Palti Hit’ or the switch hit. This way, the ad campaign clearly establishes that Pepsi soft-drink is not only popular with these stars, but it also is an integral part of their game.

Human needs are the force behind all development. The wheel was developed for easier travel, fire was discovered for gaining warmth and light bulb was invented to show the way in the dark. Human needs have always been the driving force behind any action taken by people, so that they can fulfill their needs. This is where the great psychologist Abraham Maslow came up with the Hierarchy of Needs. This hierarchy of human requirements classifies the needs of human beings into 5 categories namely physiological, safety, love/ belonging, esteem and self actualization at the apex. But can human needs be actually ordered into an ascending pyramid?

After Hindustan Unilever rocked the 1500 crore water purifier market in India few years ago,they are back.Last time around their TG was not exactly same as that of Eureka Forbes or Kent but this time HUL claim to take customers from right under their noses.
Hindustan Unilever has launched the new Pure it named Marvella(interestingly TMSBee’s last post on Pure it was called HUL Pure it-a Marketing Marvel.Inspired ? ).The purifier is claimed to be the first fully automatic waster purifier.This is a big claim as we all assumed that they were already there.And interestingly the USP still remains the same-No Electricity.Fully Automatic and no Electricity ? Interesting.

These days companies are moving to generic domains from the specific ones.As an example a petroleum company is repositioning itself as a energy company or a soft drink company is repositioning itself as a beverage company.
Something similar seems to be happening with Horlicks offlate.Their last two products have been Horlicks Nutribar and Horlicks Foodles.Both the products have been positioned as Health products.So is Horlicks moving from being a milk powder(malt based milk additive phew !) based company to being a health products company ? Donno.

Now coming to the website,the site looks awesome and quite futuristic.In short its the indian version of secondlife.com.Virtual world as most would know isn’t a new concept. Secondlife which is run by Lindenlabs has been around since mid 2003. Infact since then it has had many competitors as well like Entropia Universe, IMVU, There, Active Worlds and Kaneva. India has always lagged behind when it came to virtual world adoption and the reasons range from the basic issue of bandwidth to the lack of concentrated effort by any international player to penetrate the Indian markets.
But are Indians laggards in social media technology ?

Recently Saffola came up with a new offering called Saffola Arise.As the name sounds,its a Rice brand.Wheat Atta and Rice have become marketers favourite off late.Rice which is a commodity has been branded premium or luxurios by many Basmati Rice companies.
Now a new brand Arise.What is it ?
Is it Basmati Rice or simple rice ? What is special about it ? These were the questions that came into my mind when i saw the TV Ad for the first time.

Now the consumer is not restricted to just an Airtel or a Vodafone but he/she has choices.In recent past many new players have entered the market with a bang.
TATA Docomo,Aircel,Virgin,MTS entered the market in recent past (2008-2009) and gave a consumer the ‘choice’.The price wars started.1p/sec,1/2p/sec etc etc were terms used in daily conversations.
Now yet again a new player has entered the market named ‘Uninor’.
