Yol Gidenindir !

I flew from New Delhi back to Goa last week on  Kingfisher Airlines , which has free newspaper service even in domestic economy service. I picked The Times of India, which is the Indian equivalent of FT . In their supplement named "Brand Equity" there was an interview with Miles Young , who is the new and the first non-American CEO of Ogilvy . The headline was; "On his first day as global CEO of Ogilvy, he chose to be in Mumbai (Bombay) - a clear indicator of where he sees the future" Well, it may be correct because how many of you know that Global Hub for Digital Production of Ogilvy is in Bangladesh? ;) Anyway... let's have a look at some highlights from the interview; His immediate priority is Ogilvy's clients instead of financial issues during the global meltdown. His second priority is to set a longer-term business plan for Ogilvy. He believes in 5-year plans. He states that; " We have had some success in countries like India with five-year plans

Vijay Mallya , from my point of view, is  Richard Branson of India, yet he is not holding sir title. He has an airline, Kingfisher Airlines which is ranked as 5 star by Skytrax (like Virgin Atlantic ), he has Kingfisher Beer (no website as ad of alcholic beverages are not allowed in India) which is the market leader in India, some pharma companies and he also has a F1 team ( Force India ) and so on so on... I like his way of promoting his products. His brand use almost every medium (check picture) including online medium. Their online marketing tools are various. Just for this, Kingfisher has a website named Kingfisher World . However, it is a shame for me but recently I have discovered another online marketing tool of Kingfisher! It has also a calendar, like the famous Pirelli one in Europe ;) For the ones who is interested; http://www.kingfishercalendar.com/2009/ Or get your own Swimsuit Special widget here . As they say; Share the Good Times...

Bundan yaklaşık 1,5 yıl önce yine Blogger'da Dijital Pazarlama adı ile bir blog açtım ve Türkiye'de bu konu yeni yeni kendine yol bulmaya çalışırken, Dijital Pazarlama ya da Online Pazarlama kavramları daha yeni yeni hayatımıza girerken ne olacağını görmek istedim. Tabi ki bir blog mümkün olduğu kadar güncellenmeli, ziyaretçilerine her seferinde farklı içerikler, bilgiler sunmalı. Açıkçası aynı dönemde, vaktimin çoğunu yeni nesil interaktif ajanslar arasında yer alan şirketimiz iGOA için harcamak durumundaydım. Buna ek olarak o günlerde Dijital Pazarlama ile ilgili konu da bir blogu besleyecek kadar çeşitli değildi. Bugün site istatistiklerden takip ettiğim kadarıyla her geçen gün bu bloga gelen kişi sayısı artmakta ve Google'da "Dijital Pazarlama" diye arama yapıldığında ilk sırada gelmekte. Buradan çok basit iki sonuç çıkartabiliriz; 1- Dijital Pazarlama ya da Online Marketing konusuna ilgi artmış ve her geçen gün artmakta 2- Halen bu konuda yeterli içerik ol

ABD'de başlayan ve dünyayı etkileyen global krizin etkilerini tüm şirketler hissediyor. Kimileri üretimini kısıyor, kimileri personel sayısını azaltıyor, kimileri harcamalarını kısıyor... 2001 yılında Türkiye'de yaşanan krizde bir çok firma ilk olarak reklam giderlerinde kısıntıya gitmişti. Ancak bunun yapılacak en doğru hareket olmadığı, krizi reklamla aşan firmaların kendini göstermesi ile kanıtlanmıştı. Elbette her şeyin normale dönmesi biraz vakit alacaktır. Eminim şu anda firmalar hem reklam yapmak hem de çok para harcamamak için ne yapabiliriz diye düşünmekte.     Çözüm mü? Tabi ki Internet :)   Halen bir interaktif ajansı olmayanlara hemen bir tane edinmelerini (buyrun iGOA 'ya), olanların da kısıtlı bütçelerle de olsa ne yapılabileceğini görüşmeleri pek faydalı olacaktır. Unutulmamalıdır ki ulusal gazetelere çıkılacak bir veya iki yarım sayfa ilan bütçesine internette harikalar yaratılabilir, online kampanya yürütülebilir hatta advergame bile mümkün olabilir. Böy
