The Advertiser's Guide to the Galaxy

By: IVM Podcasts
  • Summary

  • Why do we like certain ads over others? What makes an ad talk-worthy for the right, or wrong, reasons? Is advertising art, or just business?

    In the ‘The Advertiser's Guide to the Galaxy’ podcast, host Karthik Srinivasan dissects advertising campaigns by questioning the what, why, and how, so that people are able to see the same ad with new eyes.

    Karthik Srinivasan is a Communications consultant and he has been working in the field for over two decades.

    PS: The show's title is inspired by Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy, a book that Karthik considers his No. 1 favorite of all time.

  • HUL’s Vim throws the kitchen sink at men
    Jan 16 2023

    HUL’s Vim recently went to town with a new product called Vim Black, a men-only dish-wash liquid! Soon, Vim confessed that the product doesn’t really exist.

    Tune in to know why Karthik Srinivan thinks Vim Black was an odd misfire and a tonal aberration from HUL.

  • Be like X. Don't be like Y!
    Jan 9 2023

    A commonly used framing device in advertising involves asking people to be like the person being shown in the ad. But a few brands also try the opposite - they show someone in the ad and ask viewers to not be like that person!

    Examples of ads that use these framing devices and how it works - tune in to know more!
