Admad - Nokia Connection

Nokia together with the Indian Music Legend A.R. Rahman is coming up with its much awaited music album "Nokia Connections" featuring the heart stirring compositions of A.R. Rahman for the Nokia Xpress Music devices and 5800 Xpress Music. This is one of its kind promotions form the Nokia to launch their new products in the market. The album contains nine original compositions from A.R.

I found this video “Jiya se Jiya” from the album is very interesting and the tune indeed catchy. The message given in the song too is ultimate, a free hug for everyone irrespective of their region, religion or language. Play it, watch it and I am sure you too will like it.

P. S: The songs will be preloaded on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia 5220 XpressMusic and Nokia 5320 XpressMusic from January, 2009.

Ad-Mad! - Dreams

These days I am suffering with something called as ‘Ad-Mad fever’ :) and my favorite ad these days is this ad of ‘Union Bank of India’ …. A very beautifully presented ad, and the lil gal in it, is what make a whole difference while putting forward the message of this ad. Simple, yet a powerful message that make you think over it again.

“because your dreams are not yours alone…”

An idea ! What do you think?

There was an discussion on something with couple of friends and then this topic of creative ideas appeared in front of us. Santy was quick to point about one ad which he thinks a very creative idea. On similar track can be used to address a larger audience to convey a message about the product.

I didn’t react to his shout but quickly recalled a conversation about this ad with another friend … Later I asked santy, do we really need such an idea??

It’s not a difficult task for anybody to understand an ad, the sole purpose of it to sell a product and never an idea. They merely influence the real life but some people think they are smart enough to ply the emotional concept of advertising and gain the popularity. Needless mentioning, we hold the craze for celebs way too much ...

You see, now the focus is on something called a ‘Brand and that is known as Idea’ and never on some actual idea. Forget about the welfare of those old children and villages shown in the ads but to advertise the brand on their name. I wonder if they can ever spend a little amount of money to educate the poor children then simply paying it off on an ad, to a star who is already so rich.

Some people are carried away with such ads, what do you think what should be an idea to bring education to poorer and the poorest people? Now shifting the focus from product to people.

Kya apko K.I.L.B hai?

I am hearing lot about an ad, now days and I guess it is rightly pumping the curiosity among the viewers before the actual product or whatever hits the market. I don’t know the purpose of this Ad, it looks pretty ordinary though and maybe another stupid, malicious Ad on the row. I know most of such Ads used as part of viral marketing and immediately vanish from the earth. I am not a marketing expert but that’s my opinion.

“Kya apko K.I.L.B hai?” Here, Irfaan Khaan is appeared as a doctor and asking this question, I am not sure to whom he is asking and what could be the idea behind such a question without giving a background. And the other big question is when he became a doctor from an actor? I think, he best suits with the later and seeking help for the publicity of the product and for himself.

The other thing is this speculation that it’s a Vodafone Ad for the launching of its iPhone services, remember the earlier Ads by Irfaan Khaan for Vodafone. No doubt he is a fine actor but those Ads are no better than shit. As stupid as the Ad maybe I am, by clicking this picture on my way back to home few days ago but you need to dump that shit :D

BTW, the purpose of this blog is to mark the waiting for formal/official launch of iPhone services in India, and as always my bet is on Airtel only.

I am looking forward to experience one of the best gadgets ever created by human mind so far, who cares in what format of advertisement is used by the services providers or anybody for that matters.

P.S : What could be the full form of K.I.L.B ? it can be anything you wish to put in there like, Khote iPhone Leneka Bemari :D

*** Update : One of my friend told me that it looks to turn out something different, heheheee, I mean ... K.I.L.B – Kyonki I love BIGAdda. If it is true then I pity on those advertiser's effort and nevertheless the product itself. I am not sure what next though :D
