A day of rigor ends, another starts, where you are to give your cent percent despite not being up to performing even at half steam. Sounds like regular life at a B-School? Yes, quite.
Try this though, open your eyes to the surroundings. Look up to that billboard that you just gave a passing glance to a day ago and note what it says.You will be surprised at how eye-popping some observations are and yet we never pay any heed to any of them. It is amazing how much we may learn about our subjects by observation as opposed to just memorising countless presentations.
Cricbuzz recently launched a web-series by the name of "Stranger XI" which aims to explore hugely debated issues in the cricket fraternity and subject them to public scrutiny.
Customer engagement?
Foodpanda, one of the smaller horses in the race course of food delivery, was recently acquired by Ola. Foodpanda is now integrated into the Ola application.

Simple observations can lead to gigantic insights into how strategically placed things are around us. The rigor of thought which would've probably gone behind an ordinary piece of brand communication.
The other day, while I was commuting, my eyes were caught by a particular billboard advertisement of an iconic real estate firm which said something like,

"Call Now!".
Call to action?

It is harsh but, haven't we all, at some point or the other in time, been wooed by the positioning of a brand?
