Marketing Maayaajaalam Awards - 3

Time, as is said often, does fly. It feels like we were discussing Marketing Maayaajaalam Awards - 2 just a few weeks back. A year has flown since then, flown fast and furious. It's time for its third convention.

As is the case with this forum, I intend inviting voices and votes about a few categories.

The best brand launch of the year

The best advertising of the year

The worst brand failure of the year

The expected brand failure of 2010

Send in your choices. You can even open new categories if you so wish. Any brand, marketer or advertisement that you feel needs to be rewarded or reprimanded.

The awards close very soon - December 31st 2010 to be precise!

Nah, just kidding. Do send in your entries soon.

And by the way, belated though, wish you a 2010 filled with 2000 fun!

I have been following your blog for a long time now and must say makes for an interesting read....

Like you said, its amazing how time flies....365 days just gone in the blink of the eye....but then days will move on and so will your awards...

Will think over the other categories but I feel the best advertising of the year was the movie "3 idiots..."...Right from the word go, people were talking about it...From Aamir Khan visiting every state to he being denied entry into an army headquarters to Chetan Bhagat making a fuss over his denied credit to the movie being termed as giving a message.......the movie's now the most talked about thing...And I guess the credit goes to its vigorous advertising......What do you think?

Best advertising of the year "TATA SKY".. The english one and the one in which asin says "AAPKE PASS TO NAHI HOGA, DAL AUR ROTI MEIN KYA BURAI HAI".. Kindles the ego so well..

Worst Brand failure of the year "NANO"..

Expected - Apple Ipad.. Sure shot.. :)
