This was the 8th webinar of this series.
Explaining his observations on branding Mr. Sridhar Ramanujam said that “Branding has many touch points and all of them should convey the same message which should strike a strong connect with the consumer in order to create a resonance”.
Sharing his vast experience of over 30 years in the branding, he cited few interesting examples to make a brand familiar with the consumers. The introduction of “Sabse Saste Din” campaign on National holidays such as January 26th and August 15th for Big Bazaar is one of them. Applying the EMI scheme for Levis Jeans brand is another unique concept which was a big hit with the consumers.
