18. The Changing Times..

19. The SMBs
 Local retailers in apparel, food, watches and jewelry have
all increased their average ad spending by almost 50% in the
past two years. The advertising and promotional spending by
local brands is substantial during the festival season and
almost 70% of the spending is done between September to
January.
 Online advertising spending is holding its own and will
continue to grow steadily over the next several years.
Marketers are responding to the economic challenges with
new techniques and strategies, along with research data to
prove their effectiveness. According to statistics, online ad
spending has reached $23 billion.
Nonetheless, nearly three-quarters of web advertising
space goes unsold and more than 99.7 per cent of banner
ads are not clicked on.

21. Owing to the increased demand Indian ad agencies have some of
the most creative and talented people around which is attested by
the fact that global companies are approaching Indian ad
agencies to handle their media campaigns.
Ranging from innovative ads to sometimes they really get on your
nerves, especially when they are repeated time and again. This
happens when there is something sponsored by them say a
cricket match or an award ceremony, etc. Advertisements usually
amaze people with their creativity and presentation whereas
some are really horrible in the depiction of their ideas. Most of the
times however we find quite interesting and appealing ads.
However, with the changing times the creativity and ideas
projected in ads have changed drastically. From naïve, happy and
brilliantly crafted ads the trends have moved to more of a fear
appeal and ironic ads. Most common is humor accompanied
generally with a message which relies upon a famous song,
“Samajhne wale samajh gaye, jo na samjhe wo anari hai.”

22. The advertising industry in India has several competitive advantages:
 India has a rich pool of strategic planning, creative and media services
personnel: Indeed, Indian advertising industry has been exporting senior-level
talent to many countries, particularly to the Gulf, South-East Asia, China, the UK
and the US. Indian talent is recognized and respected in global agency networks.
 No other country has access to so many trained management graduates who
can provide strategic inputs for brand and media planning.
 Indians are multicultural: we learn at least two languages and that gives us a
head start in understanding cultural diversity.
 Most of the top 20 agencies in India have a global partner or owner, which
should provide an immediate link to global markets.
 Our production standards in TV and print have improved: With a vibrant
animation software industry, we have access to this area of TV production.
 India's advanced IT capabilities can be used to develop Web-based
communication packages for global clients.
