Look who is here… CAMPAIGN INDIA!!!
Dear Friends,
Here is something different. Guru my friend was going through Campaign India’s latest issue dated October 8, 2010. He pointed out two spelling mistakes.
Campaign India asks readers to send in Picks or Turkeys released in the print media and puts those ads under the heading “Pick of the Fortnight” and “Turkey of the Fortnight”
While doing this they have made spelling mistakes in the caption while describing the “Pick of the Fortnight” Just read the caption put besides the Corporate ad of Coal India. The spellings of words "Statutory" and "Coal" have mistakes in it.
Moreover as their caption reads, Coal India’s Ad shown here is not a Statutory Ad!! This is a Pre-Issue Corporate Advertisement.
I feel that they should particularly take care and cross check comments and spellings in this section.

Hammer’s KARMA – Mistake in Headline!!
Dear Friends,
The trend of mistakes in the headline and meaningful Gujarati Translation continues… Here is Hammer Plus Jewellery.
If you look at the ad, the headline in Gujarati to connect with the readers does not convey proper meaning, it should actually convey.
Probably the TG would have better understood the same in English language.
This ad in Gujarat Samachar – All Edition costs Rs. 3,60,000/- as per card rates.
Please send in your comments and views.

Season related headlines in the ad could be risky..
Dear Friends,
Here is an ad which was published yesterday in Divya Bhaskar. The headline relates to Monsoon, while Monsoon is already over. It has been more than 15 days that the season has changed.
If you make ads related to the season, then it is necessary to track the seasonal change in the region the ad is being released and revise the communication accordingly.
This ad in All Gujarat Edition in Divya Bhaskar costs Rs. 4,50,000/-
Regards
Nikhil
