Watch this video where Prof Siddharth Deshmukh, a MICA professor, explains how by understanding this you can create a positive impact in the life of the consumer.

How are women portrayed in advertisements and media? Why are they portrayed that way? What do we get to know about a society from what it chooses to watch on TV or read in books or see in its ads?

Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols as elements of communicative behaviour and uses elements such as language, culture, class, caste, religion, etc to understand the finer nuances of marketing and advertising. Well, watch the video to know more about the depiction of women in media, Semiotics and why it is a core module at MICA.
