PROVIDING THE WORLD WITH EFFECTIVE & EFFICIENT LIGHTING SOLUTIONS SINCE 1976PYROTECH GROUP
Simple Ways to Make Your Commercial Space More Energy Efficient
In today's world, being energy efficient isn't just good for the planet—it's also good for your wallet. Whether you run a small shop or a large office building, there are plenty of simple steps you can take to reduce your energy consumption and save money on utility bills. Let's dive in!
1. Upgrade Your Lighting: One of the easiest ways to save energy is by switching to energy-efficient lighting options like LED bulbs. LEDs use significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last much longer, so you'll save money on both energy and replacement costs in the long run.
2. Install Motion Sensors: Do you have areas in your commercial space that aren't always in use, like storage rooms or bathrooms? Consider installing motion sensors that automatically turn lights off when no one is around. This simple addition can lead to significant energy savings over time.
3. Optimize Heating and Cooling: Heating and cooling can account for a big portion of your energy bills, especially in larger commercial spaces. To save energy, make sure your HVAC system is properly maintained and consider investing in a programmable thermostat. You can also encourage employees to dress in layers to reduce the need for excessive heating or cooling.
4. Seal Leaks and Insulate: A well-insulated building is more energy efficient because it retains heat in the winter and keeps cool air in during the summer. Check for drafts around windows and doors and seal them with weather stripping or caulking. Adding insulation to walls, floors, and ceilings can also make a big difference in your energy consumption.
5. Use Energy-Efficient Equipment: When it's time to replace old appliances or equipment in your commercial space, opt for energy-efficient models. Look for the ENERGY STAR label, which indicates that the product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
6. Encourage Energy-Saving Habits: Sometimes, the simplest changes can have the biggest impact. Encourage employees to turn off lights and electronics when they're not in use, unplug chargers and other devices when they're fully charged, and use natural light whenever possible.
7. Conduct an Energy Audit: If you're serious about improving energy efficiency in your commercial space, consider hiring a professional to conduct an energy audit. They'll assess your energy usage and identify areas where you can make improvements, ultimately helping you save even more money in the long run.
8. Educate and Involve Employees: Finally, don't forget to involve your employees in your energy-saving efforts. Educate them about the importance of energy efficiency and encourage them to come up with their own ideas for saving energy in the workplace. When everyone is on board, you'll see even greater results.

ADANI WILMAR PREDICTS GROWTH IN ITS SALES VOLUME THIS FISCAL YEAr.pptxAdani case
Adani Group will surpass these figures and experience a more significant increase in the price value. This will give the conglomerate’s business excellent exposure. It will also be able to recover from the struggle that the company was suffering after the Hindenburg Report Adani.
4. ith the ubiquitous reach of Internet, people have access to
Weverything and everywhere. Consumers are more vigilant and
they are all ears to not just the brand, but also the ones who are
using the brand. It is observed that 90% of all the purchase decisions begin
online. With ready accessibility, they have myriad levels of options at their
disposal. They can discreetly go through various offers and services from
various e-commerce sites and take the most information decisions.
Consumers today have access to the Internet through various digital
portable devices. The problem of such high proliferation of accessibility
options is that all the devices have different protocols, specifications and
interfaces. This makes it a tough challenge for the marketers to launch their
campaigns on these various challenges using the same strategy. With the
rising competition, many digital marketers have started modifying their
campaigns so as to give the consumers a new experience of the same brand
over different streaming channels.
With easy access to data, comes the heavy trail of data. Data specialists or
Data scientists are heavily involved today to make the trail of data left
behind the consumers, more integrated to the business operations and
activities. In a positive turn of events, different service providers are taking
the efforts to connect with their consumers through the various channels.
This in turn, makes the data availed from the huge pile of data left behind
after various activities, more relevant, with the knowledge on consumers
buying patterns and their interests. These relevant data aids the campaign
creators in taking more accurate decisions.
In the end, the entire purpose of a digital campaign is not just about
promoting a brand, but creating an engaging experience that would
influence them to follow the brand eventually. With advanced analytics,
campaigns are being monitored on real-time basis which enables the
campaigners to change their tactics on a short notice and in a very cost-
effective manner. When positively it used to cost around $100 and $900 to
reach 1000 views, with digital marketing techniques, it now costs only
around $1 to $10. Today, it is mandatory to have access to all the data
related to every kind of customer from every digital platform to deliver
more real-time and engaging customer experience.

13. People Leading the Torch of Innovation in the field of
Digital Marketing
Suumit Shah is a passionate Internet Marketer and
Founder of RiseMetric. Before starting RiseMetric, he was
heading Digital Marketing at Tinyowl and later at
Housing.com. With his innovative marketing strategies and
dynamic personality, quickly he becomes one of the most
popular growth strategists for tech startups.
Subhash Choudhary is an experienced marketer &
Co-founder of RiseMetric. With over 7 years of long
experience in Internet Marketing and with his unique ideas,
he has gained a deep insight on human psychology to the
shape internet traffic. Subhash has worked closely with
some of the most notable startups from India and helped
them to achieve their growth objectives through digital
marketing.
Hurdles that went on to become Milestones
The story, from a name to a well-recognized brand, narrates
real-world challenges and footraces of RiseMetric. The
company that missions to benefit their clients business
growth, inherited the fortune to work with some of the
biggest startups from India during its inception days. The
first few startups were functioned from Suumit Shah’s
existing network and the happy clients were contented to
refer their services to others. The referrals started to come
in and they were able to convert most of them into a
successful deal. In the completion of an efficacious year,
they counted a good number of notable brands in their
portfolio which helped them to increase their corporate
clients. With this robust team and successful project-life
they launched in-house projects which again created a
landmark for the company.
Strategies and Elements, Aiding to Stand Different from
the Mob
Suumit believes, “the biggest challenge faced by any
company is generating sales & leads for its business, so the
marketing teams should work diligently to produce enough
demand for their product/services.” Moreover, he add,
“With so many digital platforms like Facebook ads, Google
ads, Twitter ads, SEM, SEO etc. for promoting their product
/ services, it’s becoming even tougher to figure out where to
focus the effort and whom to ignore.”
RiseMetric owns some experienced ‘Campaign Strategists’
who work extensively with their clients to understand their
pain points and then create a long term marketing blueprint.
This blueprint concept is executed by a team of SEO
professionals, SEM experts, Social media ninjas and
Creative Designers. Mostly, the services involved with
their current objective and they have a simple 3 step process
to pitch it:
• Understanding the core marketing objective,
• Define the target audience,
• Draft a customized digital strategy to reach them.
Unlike the conventional sales cycle, RiseMetric has
designed a totally different sales strategy for their clients.
Upon receiving any referral (Verbal, Email Introduction),
they set up a face to face meeting where most of the time,
the decision maker is either the founder or the Co-founders.
Abandoning the traditional presentations pattern, they opt
for verbal communications where the client speak about
their business in terms of marketing, identify the current
problems and their expectations.
Making it more personal to the decision makers, RiseMetric
prefer to broadcast their live examples of work (like
Keyword ranks, Social Media engagements, traffic growth
etc.), rather than any PDF case studies which are often
biased and show selected data. Based on the information
gathered from them and researching the market and the
competition, they come up with a brief and to the point
proposal with detailed solutions. The proposal is discussed
with them in person and after discussing the performance
metrics or targets, they close it. RiseMetric considers, “the
sales cycle is just the beginning; the actual effort goes into
delivery and making sure their money counts.”
Exceptional Execution of Services for Satisfying Clients
RiseMetric is known for their quality services and solutions
provided in Organic Long term SEO, Social Media
Marketing, Pay per Click Services, App Development, App
Store Optimization and Web Development. Further, the way
they execute their services are totally exclusive and carry
different innovative ideas.
• Defining the Audience - They work with the client to
understand their view of the customer and creates the
ideal customer audience persona. They limit their plans
around this persona, which turned out to be very efficient.
• Educating the Client about the Product (Awareness
phase) - Being a new concept and making sale on first
impression will be difficult, so they firstly, shows their
clients multiple videos of the product in action and being
the use in daily life. This is also uploaded on Facebook,
YouTube and other social media sites.

15. • Reinforced Communication with Re-Marketing
(Consideration) - The clients who shows interest in this
product by interacting with the video, RiseMetric
re-targets them with “Still banner” ads on FB as well as
Google. They share the credibility of Founders & Product
team in this phase. They also use SEO to create a positive
image of the brand by ranking organic reviews of the
product by known blogs or channels.
• Capturing lead (Intent) – In this phase, they ran
Facebook leads ads to collect leads for the pre-sales team
or for later follow-up emails. The pre-sales team also
takes care of all the questions and information asked by
the people.
• Getting them to Purchase (Transact) – The last step was
to make them to purchase the product. They tied up with
one of the largest online retailer in India for the product
listing and target their audience segment with FB,
YouTube & Google banner ads showing the price with
a call to action pointing to the retailer.
Gaining Clients with Productive Results
Digital marketing is indeed a very competitive industry and
providing ROI for client’s money is a growing challenge.
RiseMetric realize, “the most effective way to show your
value is to show numbers.” But tracking the ROI of every
single marketing activity isn’t always easy, especially if the
company doesn’t have a two-way communication between
their marketing activities and the sales reports. Measuring
the ROI of marketing activities has remained a top
marketing challenge year-over-year. Additionally, proving
ROI often goes hand-in-hand with making an argument to
increase budget, it’s like, “No ROI tracking, no
demonstrable ROI. No ROI, no budget.”
The RiseMetric team dedicates their time and resources to
establish links between provided marketing activities and
sales results. That way, clients can directly see how many
leads and customers are generated through their marketing
activities.
Achievements that led to the Path of Success
RiseMetric shared an experience where they had
successfully strategized and executed a multi-phase
campaign for a very new & innovative product created by
IIT Bombay alumnus. The product is an AI based
Companion robot called Toy, which was able to talk to kids
and even grow with them. Though it was a very new
concept, but selling in India was a challenge with a limited
marketing. But creating a multi-phase marketing plan and
executing it over a period of 4 months led the campaign to a
great success with double digit ROI. Subhash asserts,
“Nothing makes us happier than watching money flowing to
client’s account as a result of our efforts.”
RiseMetric Exists to Deliver its Finest Solutions
RiseMetric is confident on their excellent team and
underwrites their success to them. They choose to work
with some of the best workforces in the industry while
giving them complete freedom of what they do. Instead of
following a predefined template based process, they give
their team a goal to complete the task and the freedom to do
it the way they see fit. This not only helps them to keep
transforming their services but also gives the team a
satisfaction they can never find in template based projects.
RiseMetric is a bunch of technology and marketing
enthusiasts, who believe in bringing a measurable impact in
everything they do. The company does not settle for the off-
the-shelf solutions, their approach and recommendations
are highly customized. They have successfully generated
long-term benefits for their clients in the past and are
looking forward to continue doing it with their believe, “We
innovate, continuously improve and believe in commitment
to clients with product quality and reliability. We encourage
creativity, risk-taking and fun!”

18. Ever wondered what is the single thing that
transformed once upon a time corporate and serious
business of advertising into creative, clever and
crazy advertising industry during the late 1950s of Mad
Men era? From hard sell and repetitive advertising to witty,
artistic and sophisticated ad campaigns, it was the
introduction of an ‘Idea’into advertising that glamourized
the likes of Doyles, Bernbachs and Ogilvys to re-engineer a
creative breed of advertising professionals who pledged by
the idea as their primary source of fame and fortune. It was
the ‘idea’ that became eponymous with creative advertising
culture. Both agencies and clients swore by the ‘idea’to
upscale their sales graph. The tradition still continues strong
in its fifth decade albeit with a difference. Ideas that have
been selling ketchups and automobiles are now increasingly
selling knowledge and advocacy in their latest avatar. From
big corporations like Vodafone who did a campaign to
address domestic violence in Turkey, Unilever’s deodorant
brand, Lynx who raised awareness about male suicides in
London to ITC’s Savlon that promoted hand washing
through chalk sticks in India, every brand is exploiting the
power of ‘idea’ to sound sustainable and resonate with their
consumers’ conscience.
When ‘idea’ took reins over advertising business during
Mad Men era, it practiced narcissism, competition
outsmarting and wit with vengeance. In last few years, the
‘idea’ however became more nonchalant and started
designing subtle but strong communications targeting
brands’ commitment towards innovation, sustainability, and
enhanced engagement. The leading beer brand Heineken
since 1970s has been proclaiming itself with wholesome
vanity as world’s number one beer brand. The same brand
in its 2016 campaign urges its target users to ‘dance more,
drink slow’ advocating responsible drinking.A beer brand
advocating less consumption of its product is unprecedented
and a bold move. The same year, Heineken also launched a
campaign Brewtroleum where it created bio-fuel from the
beer waste to power cars in New Zealand which had won
Grand Prix- Outdoor in Cannes.Another shocking
campaign came from REI, a major retailer in the US who
shut its store on one of the busiest shopping days

19. of the year, telling people instead to get out and enjoy
nature, at the cost of its business!
What is inspiring and channelizing the course of the ‘idea’
from profit to philanthropy centric that is making brands go
more humble, honest, humanitarian and eco-conscious?
1. Persuasion is passé, Empathy is in: There has been a
paradigm shift in audience’s emotional, social and
intellectual quotient which has increased exponentially with
exposure to media, knowledge, processes, and
entertainment. Today, if a brand tries to claim its supremacy
with perfect creative finesse, it will still sound like hard-sell
to this new breed of an over-fed target audience. Brands are
now using the ‘idea’ to penetrate within the conscience of
their target audience and do things that they always wish for
with the help of their products/services. Ariel’s ‘Share the
Load’ campaign urging men to share the load of household
chores especially that of laundry with their wives is an
example of brands intruding in the lives of its target
audience albeit benevolently.
2. More Media at no to less cost: Advocacy and social
good act as catalysts to attract media to review the ad
campaigns that appear more as acts of benefaction rather
than promotional content. Moreover, advocacy and social
good being universal in their appeal have the more organic
reach and appeal to larger audience breaking the barriers of
nationality, race, religion, and ethnicity. This gives a
competitive edge to the brand in the scenario where every
brand is boasting about the social media fan lineage running
into millions. The campaign to stop the sale of acid in retail
counter by non-profit, Make Love Not Scars featuring acid
attack survivor Reshma garnered huge PR across media like
The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BBC World,
Mashable, Mirror, The Huffington Post at no cost and
personalities like Amitabh Bachchan, Ashton Kutcher,
Sherly Sandberg and Sachin Tendulkar too shared their
support for the campaign, making it an award campaign.
3. Sustainable Policy: Some marketers are restructuring
their businesses to accommodate sustainable business
practices and are making investments in research and
development of new technologies that can help them
achieve their sustainable goals. Unilever, for instance, has
committed to half its environmental footprints by 2030.
P&G plans to replace 25% of petroleum-based products
with sustainable ones by 2020. Branding sustainability also
helps marketers to target consumers, investors, vendors and
employees at one go in a single communication campaign.
4. Awards: Cannes advertising festival, the most sought-
after festival amongst the advertising fraternity branded as
‘field-trip to future’ for agencies, start-ups and marketers
has been generously awarding campaigns that are packaged
with social good and those that promise to address
environmental, psychological, health and lifestyle issues.
The festival has also introduced new award category-, Glass
17| November 2017 |
20. Lions: the Lion for Change to challenge gender biases. In a bid to stay ahead and bag awards at prestigious awards festivals,
brands are making use of ideas that force their way to the jury’s shortlist.
5. Ease of Execution with Technology: Technology and data have given power to the ‘idea’ whereby they not only help in
the adequate execution of the idea but also help in measuring the effectiveness of the campaign in real time. This has
encouraged agencies and brands to dream big, invent without fear and set as challenging goals as possible and experiment
upon their hypothesis. Never before brands and agencies were so confident about putting into practice everything that they
ever dreamed of without the fear of sounding impractical and unrealistic. Toyota has launched i-Road, an ultra-compact
electric vehicle which helps to resolve parking issues in congested cities of Japan by utilizing small and unused spaces with
networking parking and charging spot stations. This project would have been unthinkable a decade back in absence of tech-
driven infrastructure that works in unison with the advertising agencies.
As the evolution of ‘idea’ took from being a piece of communication to transforming into products, experiences and
engagements, advertising businesses that were earlier lauded for their creativity now have to be multi-faceted with
innovation, technology, research and empathy. We can expect Flipkart as a part of its festive sale campaign to introduce
invisible packaging that replaces cardboard cartons loaded with plastic bubbles with certain sonic wave’s technology that
secures the products without causing any damage. This can save the country from the generation of tonnes of plastic waste as
well as from deforestation which otherwise forms an inevitable part of the delivery process. Or can we expect a fertilizer
brand to develop high yielding solution that brings back the fertility of the barren soil that can solve the problem of food
crisis and waste lands. While the earlier Mad Men saw advertising going glam and aristocratic, this age of idea revolution is
making advertising mad with innovation and social consciousness.

industry is worth a whopping $475 billion.
Since our surrounding is flushed with all kinds of Ads,
people are getting to understand the dynamics of
marketing and have figured out ways to avoid viewing
ads (ad-blocking softwares). So, what can advertisers do
to stay one step ahead?
Showing what the audience wants to see
Jingles are forever and will stay on to be the most
popular branding experience. Advertisers are moving on
from the old model of informing, persuading and
reminding to the new model of demonstrating,
empowering and involving. 86% of the marketers
believe in engaging the audience on multiple channels
using the same strategy for long term success.
Considering the effortlessness involved in skipping the
ads, marketers are trying to get the viewers as
emotionally involved as possible in the storyline in
which the product is presented. It is much more effective
to present the ad as part of the context.
This is exactly what Native Ads is all about. It is the
modern form of product placement in video and blog
content. This has been successfully incorporated in the
movies since long back. The Ace Comb in the James
Dean movie Rebels without a cause, got so popular that
almost every teen that had seen the movie went ahead
and bought one.
Hershey owes a lot to the hit movie E.T. because right
after it hit the screens, they saw a 65% rise in their sales.
The best part is that Hershey did not have to pay
anything for their product placement in the movie. All
they had to do was promote E.T. in their advertising
campaigns.
The longest running and the most expensive deal has
been struck between Heineken and the producers of the
James Bond movies. In the movie Skyfall, Bond goes for
a bottle of Heineken instead of his signature martini
drink. The James Bond movies had made the martini
iconic and now it has been replaced by Heineken for an
undisclosed hefty amount. Bond movies have also made
the Aston Martin cars famous during the 60s and 70s and
the BMW cars during the 90s.
BMW Mini Cooper earned the tag of being a rugged
little car that goes really fast when it got featured in the
movie, The Italian Job, and in one of the Bourne series.
BMW saw a staggering increase in sales in the
consecutive releases of these films.
Branding a Product when the audience is looking for
one
Now, in a similar fashion, bloggers are paid to forcibly
promote the brand in their storylines while making it
look like as if it is a part of the context. This has led to
many celebrity Twitter users who are paid to tweet in a
particular fashion just because advertisers want to
cash-in on their huge fan following. The scenario is
similar on Facebook.
Out of the 80% of millennial using their smartphones
while shopping, 74% are willing to receive location
based adverts and this can prove to be beneficial with the
right amount of data that must be mined from users’ past
shopping experiences and their buying patterns. This
ensures highest level of conversion rate using the most
minimum effort (and efficient computing power) and
investment from the retailer’s end.
Video accounts for 69% of all customer internet traffic
and 70% of the audiences view brands more positively
after watching an interesting video content of the brand.
With video content expected to dominate over other
content strategies, it is no surprise that YouTube channels
are now considered as part of brand equity. Gaming is
another industry that is being tapped in a similar fashion.
With a good data infrastructure that aids reporting and
distribution, business councils can lead and improve
campaigns that would engage the target audience and
influence them to eventually boost the sales.

Creating Tailor-Made Digital Portfolio
24| November 2017 |

CEO
The Company has a set of goals which also includes giving
its best to create a tailor-made digital portfolio to achieve
the results by evaluating client’s needs and requirement and
understanding audience suited for their businesses.
Architect Innovating Marketing Strategies in
EveryMedia
Gautam B Thakker, CEO of EveryMedia Technologies,
is known as the Chief Employee. This personal call has
stemmed from his belief of always wanting to mentor and
empower his team. Gautam gives every individual in the
company the opportunity to function as business units in
themselves, follow their own practices and make their own
decisions. Collectively, teams are given the freedom to
implement processes and take calls that are beneficial for
the company at large. He encourages everyone to not look
at a client in the conventional sense of the word, rather treat
every project like a puzzle to solve.
Additionally, Gautam lays great emphasis on sports right
from carom tournaments, setting up an in-house pool table
to forming cricket leagues.
Pushing up the Boundaries
The very initial challenge faced by the company is to
convince a client to move forward from making elaborate
social media profiles and focus more on analytics. However
the team observes, listens and evaluates conversations
happening across digital platforms very cautiously, but
there is the need to understand the fact that analytics has
also become a key aspect that needs to run parallel with any
marketing campaign. Thus, they have started analytics
which will help them to track conversations, build positive
momentum and convert the non-converted audience.
The EveryMedia Team is continuously working across
different mediums, time-zones and platforms using a
variety of tools that condense the big data, cut through the
noise and providing with the essential information to the
clients so that they can achieve the best result.
The greatest challenge company has to experience is to
erase the clutter, build positive engagement and thus build
the equity of the brand.
Future Perspectives
The Company believes that “the future of Digital Marketing
is expected to be dependent on two key factors – visuals
and analytics. Whatever you see, is what you get, whether it
is a product, service or basic numbers.” Thus, it has started
pushing for more video content on digital which will boost
audience engagement.
Despite of the fact that the market is very competitive by
nature it is directing towards focusing on setting the
benchmarks for the clients, because it has a pre-decided
goal to choose the market in which it can flourish ,adopt
approaches and practices that would navigate the market in
the desired direction.
The company has the belief that, it is more important to
create unprecedented impact than just standing out of the
crowd.

India currently has more than 220 million smart phone users who are consuming digital content mostly on mobile.
Internet penetration and the change in content consumption pattern, today’s Indians are readier than ever to interact
with the brands of their choice through the windows of their smart phones. As Indian consumers spend nearly three
hours on mobile each day, it doesn’t take much of brain to understand that digital media solutions that an agency offers
needtobe‘mobile-first’.
Advertising is all about impactful storytelling.With the right creative ability, we have developed a capability to narrate
a brand’s story in an immersive way, which is always optimized for mobile. India is expected to grow at the rate of 15%
to reach 1.2 billion mobile subscribers by 2020 with close to 60% of the new subscriptions coming from non-metro
cities and rural parts of India. This is a good enough reason why agencies need to invest time and resource to research
on how semi-urban and rural markets of India tend to respond to mobile advertising. While it’s a fact that mobile

Timmensely dynamic, multi-pronged approach to

communicate in a simple, linear manner, as was the case in
the past. In a retail environment that’s becoming
increasingly complex due to technological advancements
and dwindling attention spans, MAA Digital offers a
dedicatedly insightful approach to customer requirements.
Powered by excellence in creativity, strategy and market
intelligence, MAA Digital provides comprehensive digital
and social media marketing solutions in today’s
sophisticated, yet still rapidly evolving age of technology.
Its solution portfolio covers every possible marketing need,
right from strategy and consulting to design and
development.
A spin-off of MAA Communications, one of India’s very
few global-standard indigenous advertising agencies, MAA
Digital, which was established in 2007, straddles the entire
spectrum of not just digital marketing needs, but also
deployment channels and platforms – thus creating
seamless, flawless campaigns that are as effective as they
are memorable.
Three Generations of Exceptional Leaders
Akshar Peerbhoy, the Chief Operating Officer of MAA
Communications, is a third-generation adman. He draws
on a rich lineage that began with his grandfather, the
legendary Ayaz Peerbhoy, widely regarded as one of the
“Founding Fathers of Indian Advertising”. Akshar has a
deep-rooted passion for advertising, and has spent over a
decade honing his skills in the field. His vision is to elevate
the MAA brand, which his father Bunty Peerbhoy has
successfully nurtured and grown for over 40 years, to new
heights, inking strategic partnerships along the way and
turning MAA Communications into India’s leading
advertising agency. Akshar has been instrumental in
envisioning and successfully launching several initiatives at
MAA Communications, adding a new dimension to the
company’s longstanding tradition of innovation at each
turn. One of his latest accomplishments is the recently
launched ‘MAA #Oneplay’ concept, which is an innovative
marketing approach of the MAA brand. “#Oneplay is about

customers...solutions that are powered by our team’s
enduring will to exceed stakeholder expectations every step
of the way,” he explains.
Akshar is also particularly proud of MAA Digital, which he
set up following extensive research into what new-age
organizations truly desire in an advertising partner.
New Approaches towards Digital Marketing
MAA Digital caters to the entire spectrum of new-age
media. With capabilities to strategise, develop and execute
end-to-end digital solutions, it focuses on delivering
valuable results to its customers. The company specialises
in leveraging new-age technologies to ensure effective and
measurable marketing campaigns. MAA Digital not only
executes web, digital and social media plans, but also
provides branding, budgeting, targeting, positioning and
go-to-market solutions from a strategy standpoint. Its
comprehensive range of solutions caters to the most diverse
of client requirements – for instance, outreach, market share
growth, top-of-mind recall, sales funnel expansion and
brand value enhancement.
Transforming Challenges into Opportunities
“The biggest challenge was in terms of changing the
outlook of clients; about convincing them to move from
traditional to new-age media,” says Akshar. Digital media
being a space that’s constantly evolving, companies tend to
regard it as risky. In truth, however, the rapid pace of
change is largely because of the real-time nature of
processes. Digitisation, with its myriad technologies and
platforms, has merely tightened up the timeline typically
taken for publishing, interaction and conversion.
Another challenge MAA Digital faced initially was the
apprehensive stance of companies with respect to the
difficulty involved in adopting new and sophisticated
technologies. However, MAA Digital’s modern marketing
technologies are immensely user-friendly and intuitive in
terms of both UIs and functionality. “Many initial clients
had to be walked through the entire process of strategy,
planning and execution for them to realise the true potential
of digital marketing,” adds Akshar.
Future Goals and Objectives
MAA Digital is constantly upgrading itself with training
and research. It regularly tests the latest techniques and
methods for relevance and efficacy. Moreover, its ensemble
of skilled, niche professionals is more than capable of
responding quickly to sudden shifts in the dynamic digital
space.
MAA Digital, which regularly comes up with new service
offerings, recently created a highly interactive web portal
with minimal AI integration for the real estate industry. It is
currently working on a blended social video-creation
platform (focused on motion graphics) that simplifies the
video creation process and can easily be accessed by
anyone. As part of a broad strategy, the company is
focusing on offering digital as well as traditional services
as an integrated, specialised offering that leverages all the
required skills in a single effort.

the world to digitized one, marketing has also gone digital.
Organizations are now constantly in search of specialists in
digital marketing for branding and marketing.
The impact of the rise of digital marketing can be seen
more on the marketing industry than in any other. The
transformation from the traditional marketing to digital
marketing has two prominent reasons, the reach of internet
in today’s world and the preference of targeting the
potential clientele. To achieve the goal of reaching the
potential clientele, one needs to work on effective strategies
and techniques. This is where to offer these services;
Digital Marketers come into the frame.
Digital marketing has refashioned the way organizations
used to do marketing. The apple of one’s eye, TV is taking
backseat with its pal print media when it comes to modern
ways of marketing. It is the mobiles, tablets and laptops that
are proving to be the favorites of the modern day
advertising and marketing guru’s, often called Digital
Marketers. Digital marketing is actually changing the way
industries used to work when it comes to marketing. Every
single organization or we should say brand expects real
time convergence of the potential clients, which is
absolutely possible with the help of the social media,
e-commerce and display marketing. The first and foremost
example of it is the changed budget chart for marketing, in
which the spending on digital marketing can be observed
more than the spending on the traditional marketing
channels.
The way Digital Marketing is changing the way industries
work can be better explained as follows:

37. Digital
Marketing
is changing e Way
How
Companies
W kCustomer Communication
Before digital marketing took the place of the traditional
marketing, after sale customer service was not on the
priority. It was like, marketing departments used to
welcome the customers in a very fashionable and alluring
way to sell their services or products. The hospitality used
to last till the customer goes out of the door. After that both
the parties used to forget each other. Digital Marketing has
changed the way organizations used to do client
communication. The communication now-a-days starts with
the first confrontation with the client, at the time of
advertisement and continues even after the product is
purchased. Customer service is expected 24/7 as it is the
most inevitable thing today.
All Time Availability of the Client
The other instance where digital marketing has changed the
way of marketing is the changed time of client
communication. In the past there was a fixed timing when
one can communicate with the customers in the confined
time limit, i.e. the evening’s leisure time. But the situation
has changed thoroughly as one can communicate with the
client in real time or even though the time zones are
different, like the marketing is person is sitting in the U.S.
and the customer is from Alaska. The clients are available
online all the time, making it easy for the marketers to offer
them services any time.
Advertising that is Totally Free!
Yes! The availability of potential clients for free has made
the digital advertisement cost free! One does not need to
pay anything to post the advertisement on social media
sites. Companies do not have to have a big budget to spend
on the broadcasting of advertisements. Availability of free
platforms with the guarantee of convergence has made
35| November 2017 |
38. marketing affordable for everyone. It is just that you should be just a good presenter of your product or services. And if you
have a good budget you can spend it on the creation of the advertisement than on the marketing of that product or service.
Traditional Advertising Taking Backseat
Accept it or not, but traditional advertising has taken a backseat as Digital Marketing has taken the center stage. There is no
fault of the old means of marketing but the changes of the clients in the use of these mediums have made them to do so. The
availability of the same things online has made it far easy for the customers to search for the online available options than go
to the shops to buy the products or services. All this has made easy for the marketer’s to target their proposed audiences. So,
in this online environment traditional way of marketing is on the verge to vanish. So, to gain a conversion marketing teams
only need to be wise enough to target the correct set of audiences.
To Conclude
The marketing has transformed itself changing its characteristics by not being the same ever again. Going with the changing
world industries have changed themselves to be competent enough by going digital. Digital marketing is revolutionizing the
way industries used to work!

42. aunching and managing a start-up is no small feat.
LThere are a million things demanding your
attention. From handling day-to-day operations to
managing resources and other logistics, everything that
happens at a startup requires detailed consideration. Digital
Marketing has now become mainstream to the point where
the first thing to do when building your brand presence is
making a website and/or building their presence on social
platforms. If done right, digital marketing can prove to be a
huge benefit and provide significant customer insights to
grow and accelerate your business.
With the unfolding of modern technologies and
preponderance of digital marketing, businesses are doing all
they can to incorporate brand building along with content
creation. With a vision to provide a marketing platform for
upcoming entrepreneurs, Saumil Patel established
Whirlwind.
Whirlwind, instituted in 2007 was started as a pure SEO
agency, and soon transformed into an end-to-end digital
marketing agency. It is committed to providing exceptional
value to their clients by focusing on delivering meaningful
leads and predictable business growth.
The Chief Tornado
Saumil Patel, the Founder of Whirlwind, is a trained
engineer and a professional growth hacker. With over
a decade of experience in managing traditional advertising,
new-age media and digital domains, Saumil has coupled the
worlds of technology and marketing to create a unique
service offering known as Whirlwind.
Saumil believes in creating exceptional value for his
clients and aims at achieving this by creating an enriching
environment and culture for his team. He realizes the
importance of culture and has been pushing for innovative
ways to truly imbibe the company’s core values amongst
the team members. Saumil strongly believes in the power of
knowledge and its ability to overcome any challenge. Thus,
he encourages a growth mindset among his employees and
personally ensures that they take charge of their work to
help them realize a sense of ownership within themselves.
Saumil deems that every small effort, from aligning a new
employee with the company’s manifesto to the peer-to-peer
rewarding actions, will eventually add up to be beneficial to
the company.
Additionally, Saumil has always followed the principle of
doing more with less. As a founder of a bootstrapped
company, he understands the challenges of fledgling
enterprises and the opportunities that a no-strings-attached
Whirlwind:
Creating Waves in the Digital
Marketing Industry
“
Every business faces
certain ups and downs,
but the ones that make
it through, are the ones
that weather the storm by
creating a whirlwind of
their own, like us!
“

43. business provides. Through Whirlwind, Saumil ensures that
this thought is reflected in their approach towards their
clients. “Because we understand the value of money, we
have spent entire lifecycles optimizing investments and
squeezing the most bang out of each buck,” urges Saumil.
Whirlwind of a Journey
As an industry flourishes, the demand for exceptional talent
grows. This creates a shortage of able persons and their
retention becomes difficult. This is where the power of
culture and knowledge can be leveraged to create a unique
offering, not only for the clients but also for the employees.
Whirlwind considers itself fortunate with the sheer number
and variety of clients they have been able to work with. All
of their innovations are stemmed from their core promise of
delivering predictable business growth and generating
meaningful leads for their clients.
One thing that Saumil recounts from his startup days is
what his ex-boss used to say - “You are only as good as
your last quarter” and at Whirlwind, they have tried to stay
competitive not only by competing with others but also by
obsessively focusing on delivering results.
Providing Groundbreaking Solutions
Whirlwind is an end-to-end digital marketing agency that
uses a content-first approach to help businesses grow their
presence online. Their gamut of services includes - Inbound
/ Content Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, Search
Engine Marketing (PPC), Social Media Marketing, Lead
Gen Marketing, Conversion Led Web Analytics as well as
Web Design and Development.
Their revolutionary “Converging Orbits Method” is born
out of the need to deliver ROI on multi-stage lead-gen
campaigns which were not profitable. Using data analytics
at every level, n-stage remarketing and delivering
personalized content are the various methods used to
deliver results for their clients. Whirlwind’s C:O Method is
an organic lead-generator which focuses on making
traditional marketing funnels more effective by improving
relevance and engagement by three times and they do this
by demerging silos.
One of their biggest innovations has nothing to do with
marketing and tools, but in the mindset with which they
approach day-to-day operations. They call this the 90DY
(90Day Year) mindset, which helps them align their efforts
with client's goals. The 90DY is a brilliant framework made
famous by Todd Herman, the global leader in high
performance, and allows growth hack around their client’s
marketing goals thereby delivering meaningful progress and
becoming true partners.
A Bright Future Ahead
As we move into the future, the attention span of customers
is going to get smaller and smaller. At Whirlwind, they
strongly believe that the future of digital marketing lies in
building more meaningful relationships and engaging
customers in personalized, relevant ways at various stages
of the lifecycle. Whirlwind is achieving this for its clients
by using the proprietary Converging Orbits Method.
Whirlwind believes that a crucial aspect for agencies will
be to become more data savvy. “The idea behind creating
digital marketing strategies for clients must be data-driven
in order to focus on ROI and understand what really
works!” states Saumil. They believe in stepping out of the
mindset of doing what “looks” best, to actually doing what
“works”.

44. How to Ensure Success of an
Innovative Online Business Idea
ll of us have been witnessing several start-ups like
AFlipkart, Uber, and Xiaomi becoming successful
today. However, at times we forget to notice there
were thousand more equally promising start-ups that never
saw any success.
All these start-ups have leveraged internet to build their
business idea.
So, what separates the one that are successful and the others
that are not?
What a start-up must do to succeed
Yes, online innovations are increasingly becoming bigger &
better and loved by today’s young consumer.
At times several such innovations take indefinite amount of
time to catch consumer fancy as some of these innovations
are ahead of their time.
However, what a start-up or marketer do to achieve traction
of an online business idea? The answer to this question is in
decades old tried and tested practice called “Diffusion of
Innovation”.
Steve Jobs said “To turn really interesting ideas and
fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to
innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines.”
Diffusion of Innovation is that scientific process that helps
you hustle your business ideas to success. If you deploy this
you can certainly achieve the fancy of your prospective
consumers.
Why Innovation is critical for the world
However, before I share more info, please understand that
your business idea is much bigger than your desire to on
your own.
• Introduction of new products and services is vital to the
consumer, marketer and the world economy.
• For the consumer, new products and services represent
increased opportunities to satisfy personal, social and
environmental needs.
• For a marketer, it provides and important mechanism to
keep the firm competitive and profitable.
• For the world, it represents potential improvement in the
quality of life for people.
Therefore, your business idea has to have a purpose,
purpose to make the world a better place.
What is Diffusion of Innovation?
Over decades marketers have trusted a framework to
accelerate the consumer acceptance of innovative products
and services. This framework is called DIFFUSION OF
INNOVATION.
This framework enables you take advantage of five
productservice characteristics that seems to influence
consumer acceptance of innovative products/services.
• Relative Advantage: The degree to which potential
customer perceive a new product as superior to existing
product.
• Compatibility: The degree to which potential consumers
feel a new product is consistent with their needs, values
and practices.
• Complexity: The degree to which an innovative product is
difficult to understand or use,
• Trialability: The degree to which a new product is capable
of being tried on a limited basis.
• Observability: Is the ease with an innovative product
benefits or attributes can be absorbed, imagined or
described to potential consumers.
For ages marketers have been using this framework to
promote innovative products and services. However, with
the evolution of internet this framework has evolved a lot.
Diffusion of Online Innovation
The five product characteristics that seem to influence
consumer acceptance of an innovation online have evolved
to:
Insiders Opinion
42| November 2017 |
45. • Visibility (evolved from Relative advantage): Visibility is
critical as we build our online marketing plans. We can
offer the best products and services, but if nobody knows
about the product and why it is better, what’s the point?
Visibility comes from a number of marketing channels,
including advertising, organic search, social media
marketing, online PR, or e-mail. These visibility options
may require space on your Web pages, may be integrated
into design, require additional budgeting, or take some
technological setup.
• Credibility (evolved form of compatibility): Credibility is
exuded in websites, blogs, images, videos, PR, social
media, or reviews. You never have a second chance to
make a great first impression. Building credibility & trust
is an online marketing must and first practice.
• Usability (evolved form of Complexity): Usability comes
from appropriate and professional design, site architecture,
clear navigation, call to actions, e-mails, content, and even
social media.
• Sell-ability (evolved from Trialability): Sell-ability is a
critical online marketing planning piece, as this is how
well you show, and tell, and sell the value of your
organization, products, and services. People need to
understand why you or your organization is worth
working with. This can come through videos,
testimonials, press releases, taglines, and images.
• Scalability (evolved from Observability): When
we employ credibility, usability, visibility, and
sell-ability, we reap the benefits of scalability.
Online marketing efforts lasts a lifetime on the
Web, building and compounding overtime.
Scalable ideas are like ELSS (equity linked
saving schemes). Small investments made
consistently over time can grow to support your
organization’s overall Web presence and
marketing.
