Social Media...Sex...Scandal!

I have been a Social Media professional for several years now, I have served, handled, managed many clients, however I never came across someone who does not understand even the “S” of social media and still wants it to be done for his Brand. You may be wondering that’s not new there are many people/Brands to be very specific, who don’t understand the Media but want to be the first one to be there , excel out…

Coming back, to the one I mentioned…The Client wanted his Brand to be popular in his location, get his new website up, get his social assets booming with numbers, online bloggers and writers talking about the Brand, sales and returns in just 3 weeks …Is it possible ?
If yes it would really be a case study and… guess what??? The entire team slogged and gave their best; however something which was not possible was to convince the client, that it is not easy to get results and ROI (Every Brand loves this word)

Let me share my thoughts, let’s assume social media is human and married to a Brand, after marriage both have sex (love-making. i.e. that is what it is called), and where there is love, marriage is successful, but just imagine if both are married and not in love then and still have sex forcefully then it is not love making it is “RAPE”, the result is not a called a Case Study it is called Scandal! I'm sure everyone agrees this general and simple fact of life.

Having Patience in New Media is important, understand it …don’t force it to your Brand people look at me and say you do FB right…Lucky you…I just smile, , it is just not Facebook and Twitter it is beyond that, it is vast. I agree that even a 10th Std. Student knows what Facebook is… However, it is not the way it is used for Business. ‘Wake up Brands, it’s High time you know this media and understand it correct, it is very powerful , If  you do it right or very disappointing for those who want it their way…

 I have just tried to keep it simple…you guys can share your experience and thoughts :)

"ASK ME" about Secret Santa...

There are so many Children in the world who cannot celebrate any season or any occasion of the year, their hearts are full of dreams and expectations, however they bury them deep within, coz’ there are no ears to it, I wish I could fulfill many such dreams, and probably that is one of my dreams.

Let me share something with you, I’m not used to taking lunch from home to office, I eat out often... and fall sick one my colleague suggested that I should order food from someone called Aunt Martha who supplies delicious tiffin’s (food), I thought why not give it a try, I liked the food, it was indeed yum and delicious. Martha Aunty would deliver the tiffin’s regularly by 1.00PM. My lunch problem was sorted :)
One day Aunt Martha did not turn up at 1.00PM, I was hungry I waited till 2.00PM and decided to eat out, when  I was about to leave I heard a little girl calling out my name, she was only 6 years old, cute and innocent. Her name was Katie, she said Aunt Martha is not well and so she is come to deliver the tiffin, I asked her which school she goes? Where are her parents… and to that she never said anything not even a word.

Katie used to come daily I liked her, she shared everything about her , she did not know who her parents were, Aunt Martha had adopted her, and their only mean of living was the tiffin they supply. I respect Aunt Martha for that, all I wanted to see was a smile on Katie’s face forever, whenever I got a chance to make her happy I never missed it...Though I have changed my job place, I make time and drop to see her...I just want to see all her little dreams come true...

Specially, this Christmas ‘m gonna surprise Katie, I will be her Secret Santa :) and guess what when I was surfing online to order a gift I came across this Brand “ASK ME” they are actually sending Santa Claus to your loved ones house and giving surprise gift on your Behalf, Doesn’t that seem exciting Folks, and it’s not 10 , it’s not 20…its 100 Gifts free, I wish I’m one of those in the 100 people who want to gift their Loved ones. “People please pray for me.” I wanna make this Christmas Special for Katie…Hey “ASK ME Santa” do wish her on my behalf, I have filled the form :)
I wish Katie Happiness forever….
