The ISA Knowledge Series session held on Zoom on the topic “Influencer Marketing – The Big Revolution” on 4th September, 2020, went well with 56 participants.
We had 4 speakers. Presentations by Bhaskar Ramesh (Director -Google) and Rohit Raj (BBKiVine) were followed by interaction with them and also the two Content Creators cum Influencers Sakshi Sindwani and Ankush Bahuguna.
Below are some of the highlight points from the session:
- Heard from Google how Nestle created content basis YT content creators and increased sales for their brand Maggie
- Influencers are ok working directly with brands
- Influencers are open to new model of working like pay per sale / commission based model similar to China
- If freedom given to content creators with limited boundaries by brand, there is a better output expected
- Influencers know the followers far better and hence feel the freedom to work to the best
- ‘Always-on activation of influencer’ mode works better than one-off
- It is very important to define the objective of the influencers campaigns and measure results against the same only. That helps brand to read the effectiveness of the campaign better.
We had Core Media Committee member Neel of Loreal getting the speakers and moderating the session, while Rajiv Dubey of Dabur moderated the Q&A part.
Feedback from participants were very appreciative of the session.

How to think differently- Session by Mr. R. Sridhar on November 27, 2019
- Details
- Created on Saturday, 08 February 2020 17:47
Mr. R Sridhar, former Director, Ogilvy India, shared experiences and expertise with a group of marketers & industry seniors at a session held by The Indian Society of Advertisers on November 27, 2019
Marketing is not a child’s play, but, R Sridhar could make it look like one with his easy and simplified approach. It literally looked like a play zone with every table being equipped with colorful boxes of play dough, the smiley yellow balls and bubble making bottles. Sridhar used various techniques to stimulate the thinking process of the attendees. He made them create things from play dough within 30 seconds, draw pictures from letters and wander their imagination beyond geographical boundaries.
Sridhar emphasized how each one of us is creative but we don’t let our creativity come out. “We all have various expressions of creativity and various ways to reach there…we are all creative. It’s just that we don’t get enough opportunity to practice our creativity...either because the opportunity doesn’t exist or due to our own inhibitions,” he added.
Sridhar, who is also a TEDx speaker, recommended that we must motivate ourselves by imagining the outcome of the success every time we make a pitch that looks very ambitious. “One of the key things that can help you motivate is to imagine life after success. Imagining the success will be so motivating that we would actually drive harder. Most of the times we don’t imagine this.” Sridhar also spoke about the need to brainstorm for ‘barriers and not just ideas’ alone. “It is very important to identify the barriers. Once you have done that make it a challenge and ensure that we resolve them all,” he added.
