Digital is Unevenly Distributed...


On Monday, Jan 21st, Tribal DDB Worldwide became the first Digital Shop/ agency/ global digital brain to Win the Ad Age Global Agency Network of the Year!!

Big Congrats to them!!

This marks the first time in history that a digital company has won this honour!

You can check the full story here

Maybe, things will change from a 30sec obsession to more digital solutions in India as well...

Although, have you ever heard a Balki, Piyush, Pops, Chax, Aggie, etc. talk about the internet, new media, digital, UGC...I haven't! LOL

Though I heard Alyque Padamsee once talking about online advertisng. Here are the holy words"Online advertisements, I feel, work to a limited extent. Seeing those ads involves an extremely tedious process. First, you need to switch on your computer, then log in, then go to your favorite site. By that time, you can read at least two newspapers, watch half a dozen television commercials, or read 15 SMS-es. Internet ad takes too much of time, it's not instant."
