MEDIA BUYING PAID

As a marketer I will ask what is your objective for doing an OOH? If you are looking for brand building and awareness yes ooh is the right solution If you are looking for immediate leads and traction then it’s a big no-no. Other factors which will help you in choosing are: Geography? Cost of the product or location? Logistics?
Thanks for A2A if you have a page on Insta or Facebook or any other social media channel you pay through a credit card for the ads which you run to create awareness or leads for your page/website.

CONTENT

No that's called creative inspiration however can't say about how people will perceive you (think about Pritam and Anu Malik) 🙂 happy copying.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Facebook won’t show you ads just because you have searched something on google, it will start showing you ads once you have searched on google and then have been to a website. This process is called re marketing, once you land up on a website you leave cookies there and then Facebook can identify a user and track him/her using this cookie and shows you this ad.

DIGITAL MARKETING

Well think From her perspective why would you advertise a start-up for free and then decide. If she is active on any of the social channels try contacting her or befriend Siddharth Malhotra ☺
The rate at which Digital Marketing is growing and other advertising is dying, its definitely a great field to be in. you can choose multiple career options in digital marketing like SEO, social media, content, blogger, media planner and buyer etc.
Digital marketing has a great scope not just in Pune, but across borders, if you already have an experience in IT with 10+ years I would suggest you move to the technical side of digital marketing rather than hard-core marketing. this will help you leverage your 10 + years’ experience as well.
Well, consumer behaviour has been changing every decade and it keeps on changing every single minute. You don't know what or how your consumer is going to behave at one point of time. There is no sign which can tell you exactly how your consumer is going to act e there might be multiple Trigger points, situations in which consumer will behave differently so don't call it a consumer Behaviour I call it as a human behaviour. I don't even call it B2B or b2c marketing I call it H2H marketing which is human to human marketing. Think about how a human will he behave the same every time he falls into situation?? Having said that digital marketing can still predict some of the consumer behaviour but exactly not always. In digital how we work for any kind of consumer is we create multiple personas. For all my target audiences for all my consumers. Say for example, if I am talking about an 18-year-old girl who is online to buy a t-shirt how will she buy her behaviour also depend on: 1. Time of the day 2. The device which she is using 3. Location If she is in her college, she'll be using a mobile phone what were the time of the day so she will be using a mobile phone in her college between let's say 9 to 5 these trigger points can change her behaviour of purchase. when she is in her college she will not have much time to choose, so the search button should work perfectly fine. she should not land on a black coloured top when she is searching for a red coloured that will lead to a drop out. with increasing digital technology, consumers are becoming more restless, choosy and demanding when they make a purchase.
Idea + Execution + Great Advertisement and sales I would not suggest you to go to a company and sell your idea there, because even if your idea is great they might just take that idea and give it to their agency to execute it.
Print media unless you are publishing it in a newspaper of magazine which hardly anyone reads.
Marketing always works on the trend of the culture. There was a time when people used to travel and be outdoor, at that point of time OOH was the biggest marketing channel. Newspaper readership skyrocketed then with the advent of radio, it became the biggest advertising puller, and next came T.V, and the advertisers moved to television. Which is the Platform where you spend maximum of your time today, think and you will know the answer.

You can come up with an argument for either but the reality is that both are vital to the child’s overall development. The same can be said for SEO and PPC.
