Online platform launched in 2007, Ixigo is where one can find all resources needed for travelling. Flights, trains, buses and hotels; with the exclusion of car rental services; everything found on the website is an aid to an unfamiliar, young traveller for travels. Certainly, Ixigo’s services might have been required the most by those who fall under the category of middle-class. A careful attention to the ads discloses such: the nature of the content is intended more for middle-class and thus naturally revolves more around their lives. It makes sense as they would be the ones watching this as the

The New Year’s greetings are often cloaked as still or print ads as the general perception lean towards the extroverted view of celebrations. Even with the inclusion of quiet, undramatic celebrations of an individual, alone in the corner of one’s room doesn’t give any aid to imaginations for a New Year creative ads. There aren’t many newer, refined deliverances for New Year’s greetings unless of course, a compilation of year’s deeds counts as that. Popularly; even if the commonality can’t be confirmed as we do not have the means to acquire data from the minds all around the world; change

The month of December is known more for its association with Christmas or Hannukah and the giddy vibes with the onset of a new year, rather than being the 12th month of the Gregorian calendar. And, as it is with most holidays, with close observation; it is a time to forget the formalities, rituals and obligations of the material world and for once come together to celebrate and enjoy the company of those close to us, perhaps sing and eat well too. Sainsbury 1914 We live in a deeply divided world. However, this isn’t some new theme. It is only

The familiar and notable vacation rental company, Airbnb launched a new ad. Recognisably known, “Strangers” is probably for people who haven’t registered themselves as hosts on the site, perhaps because of their reluctance to engage with strangers. What “Strangers” says Supposed to be terrorising in its image, 3 monsters come to inhibit a house at night. Since no one seems to be inside, they use the weekend time and the freedom, to explore the house and its surrounding nature and its luxuries. The edit made in the last second turns them into humans as the mother closes the door.

In August of 2020, Olay had introduced a campaign focused on bridging the gap between women and men in STEM. They made a campaign that focused on the inherent sexism in STEM fields that presumably don’t employ enough women in those areas. It should be duly noted that the following paragraphs have been written with a focus on one individual take on OLAY’s campaign and isn’t backed by research but rather personal experiences of one’s background during their course of learning in the area of one STEM field. Any logic narrated further to understand and deconstruct OLAY’s strategy is also

Animation has been largely associated with video games and kids’ content. The world of advertising is mostly out-of-touch with this idea of the use of animation in ads. However, animations need to be used as the vehicle of storytelling in ads more often and here is why: An ad may be creative and enigmatic, but the cost of producing such ads are higher than the budget might allow. Recruiting animators for this job eases the cost put in production. An unfair advantage that animation has over regular ads is the transition. The content to be narrated need not be as

The Perfect Christmas Ad The essence of the advertisement Since the American microblogging website is themed around the colour blue; the animated ad is also made with the same colour palate. Most of the characters and background take on good variations and contrasts of the colour blue and its shades. The Twitter ad opens like a Children’s story. Since it is a Christmas story and most people would associate Christmas with winter and by a co-relation, snow; it is a story about 2 snowflakes. This specification has to be made; as the current landscape of Twitter is very different from
