‘Fast and first’ in 18 long years!

IIPM Alliances

It is definitely time for jubilation for the Indian economy. For the first time in eighteen years, the Indian economy has grown a good 9.4% in the fiscal year 2006-07. Such fast rate was witnessed last in 1988-89, when the economy grew by 10.5%. The positivity was also extended to the federal fiscal deficit as it decreased to 3.5% from 4.1% year on year. For the January- March quarter, while the manufacturing sector leaped ahead with a growth of 12.4 %, services showed a similar growth of 9.9% as the same quarter previous year. The only disheartening growth has been that of the agricultural sector, which comprises 60% of our population. It grew a meagre 3.8% in the fourth quarter as compared to the previous year.

Sparing the dismal performance by the agricultural sector, the economy’s robust growth emphasizes the emergence of India as a global economic power. The Tata- Corus deal earlier this year and other high profile global takeovers by Indian companies has reinforced the same. “With high growth comes high savings and high investment which, in turn, reinforce growth itself ,” commented P. Chidambaram, the finance minister of the country on this commendable growth of the Indian economy.

Mankind’s future under water!

IIPM PUBLICATION

It’s time to recite Coleridge “Water water everywhere, not a drop to drink….” And surely if the trend of global warming & melting of glaciers continue, ocean levels will rise and swallow up entire nations & cultures. Besides other threats of global warming, the one attracting high concern is thermal expansion of the oceans – a result of water molecules expanding in warmer temperatures, increased precipitation and melting of mountain glaciers which leads to high sea-levels. The sea-levels have been rising tremendously with a rise of over 200 meters since the end of the last ice age, and astonishingly in 20th century alone, sea levels rose 0.17 meters with predictions for the next century rise ranging from 0.18 to 0.59 metres. The brunt will be borne by low lying areas, which would be entirely submerged such as Nile Delta, Maldives and Bangladesh which will suffer great damage if and when sea level rises, as it has an extensive coastline and lies between 2 major rivers. Shrinking coastlines are being observed across the world. The recent spate of hurricanes in the US has also been linked to the phenomenon. Warmer oceans are now being linked to increasing severity of storms. In the past, peak melting has been taking place in Greenland and Arctic, where ice is now half as thick as it was in 1950. And sudden acceleration in the past few years means the catastrophes may not be as far as they seemd to be, earlier. Today it’s polar bears, penguins and seals that are losing their natural habitats and dying out. If this continues, human beings would be the next in line to suffer the same fate.

Well, everybody’s heard about the melting glaciers ad nauseum, and nothing seems to have happened to our homes, right? So the first common question that comes to mind is, whether the issue is indeed so serious. The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has forecasted that average global temperatures would rise between 1.1% and 6.4% by 2100, that is, by around 30c by 2100. Fans of the Michael Crichton best-seller, State of Fear, which largely ridicules the green brigade, might say – “That’s it? We are worried about 3 degrees?!?” Well, this ‘minuscule’ 3 degrees is enough to put a whopping 4 billion people by that time at a serious risk of dangerous water shortage for starters, apart from ensuring that the severity of climate events would increase.

Let’s get it done

IIPM PUBLICATION

BRAND : Citigroup
AGENCY : Publicis Groupe, Paris
BASELINE : Let’s get it done

DESCRIPTION: The ad juxtaposes a host of shots with the VO, taking the story forward. It begins with a shot of a child as the VO says, ‘We first believed in you,’ next we see a guy and the VO urges to, ‘Listen to your dream’. The VO then declares ‘We all need a partner and Citi has people and expertise to make it all possible...” What follows are shots supporting the VO which urges people to turn their dreams into realities.

4Ps TAKE: Part of Citibank’s re-branding exercise, the ad puts forward its new tag-line, ‘Let’s get it done’. This one’s sure to win hearts of the world with its appealing visuals and the messages in the VO which are highly aspirational. The ad scores high on establishing the brand personality of Citibank, bringing out the reward to the prospect and in conveying the message in a simple manner. And it’s the straight forwardness of the ad – everyone needs a partner to turn dreams into reality– is what makes it so touching.
