This is how you Hype-Jack! The Tactics of a Smart Marketer
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Innovation, Leadership, Marketing on November 19, 2012
Marketers are looking to create hype all the time. But, Smart Marketers are looking for the hype to hi-jack on. They just Hype-jack! The more official term for this phenomenon is “News-jacking”, but I somehow prefer “Hype-Jacking” for the intent, for the relevance today, and for the simple phonetics! As PBS demonstrated during the Presidential debate and Blendtec successfully did it amidst the Apple v/s Samsung battle; an effective hype-jacking may not be planned in advance, but can be achieved with a constant tab on the market, a spark of brilliance, and a rapid-fire action.

Couple of weeks back, I had a “temporary” issue in accessing certain websites through […]

Think again. Social Media is not a Job, it’s a Skill!
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Human Behavior, Marketing, Technology on September 18, 2012
If I started off with saying Social Media is important for Businesses, I’d sound time-shifted backward by at least 2 years. Everyone knows that already. In the last year or so, I’ve not heard a single serious business that’s not trying to “do” some social media. They typically start with a Twitter Account, an FB […]

Game Changer #1: The Great Facilitation ballgame of Multi-sided Business Platforms
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Innovation, Leadership, Marketing, Technology, Trends on May 13, 2012
This era clearly belongs to the multi-sided Platforms based business. Google and Apple have become the most valuable companies in the world. Amazon, that revolutionized the Books and Publishing markets through the e-Commerce strategy, has since transformed itself into a Platform company. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and recently Pinterest have become the household names, beyond the tech world. Travel, Hospitality & Commute have become well-integrated platforms driven businesses – driven through online technologies and ground-level operational integration. If you’re in any business – whether it’s technology or not, whether it’s e-commerce or not, whether it’s products or services – don’t ignore this trend. Think about how you can leverage on this model, or be part of this ever-growing multi-cog machine that benefits all its gears.
