  • HUL’s Vim throws the kitchen sink at men

    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.

    2023/01/09

    2023/01/02

  • A new 'match': Matchmaker Sima Taparia's career change
    2022/12/19

    Sima Taparia is most well known for her hit Netflix show, Indian Matchmaking. When she announced a new position on LinkedIn recently, it made news, understandably.

    It's a clever campaign idea. But I do wish the brand behind it had pushed it, even more, exploiting the potential fully.
