New brands for 2020

Brands come and go.

Tree hugging millennial and Z generation is brand fickle so the rotation of brands is more likely to speed up.  Here are some well thought brainy ideas for the our marketers to consider as we enter 2020.
  • Luxe SUV for the insider stock selling elite called 'Ghosn Escape' from Infiniti 
    • a less luxe and smaller version released in Mexico will be called 'Car los lux' from Nissan
  • Recyclable underwear made from polymers that does not need washing - 'Undyniable'
  • Lowest glycemic index sweetener derived from recycled plastics -  'Poly C-wrap' (rhymes with syrup) - only available in 2 liter recyclable bottles at Costco
  • Psychologist services for ADD clientele branded as 'Shrink wrap' (sold in 1 hour sessions - subscription for a years worth at a discount if paid in full)
  • Newest beverage with multi colored bubbles, bobas and caffeine -  'Bobble heads'
  • Quite unique and unlimited audio channel subscription - headsets free - where user only hears silence branded as 'Quiet'.
  • Age reversing cycle that you pedal backwards with an abacus on its handlebars sold as 'Beads of sweat'.  Actual cycle is delivered in parts as a daily delivery and the user has an added challenge to put it together.  Payments in installments commensurate with parts delivered.  The cycle only operates if the user is able to crack a code on the abacus (beads arrive one at a time).
The last item purchased with an instalment plan from a Vietnamese fintech brand called 'Unsung', will also earn unlimited eastbound rides on Amtrak.

Amtrak service to be named 'Crack of Don' (rhymes with Dawn) for one person, one scooter and one pet and a free joint rolled up fresh as you depart.  West, North and South bound rides as well as helmets and doggie bags will incur extra charge.

This plan has been put in place by the governors of America to allow for population balancing and is part of the new Pan Pacific alliance to make America move again.  It appears that the west coast has gotten too heavy with most of the public squatting going on here.

You are welcome very much (for this free advice) Americas marketers for running with this.

On the go(zay masta) in Japan again

Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk  My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...

The Central State aka MP

Narmada river and site of Omkareshwar Indore Rajwada or palace of the Lady Holkar   Somewhat geographically centered in India is the hot landscape of MADHYA PRADESH. A region I had a faint memory of visiting as a young lad eons ago. Now in my (along with my best half) quest to get to know lands far and wide I got an opportunity to visit Indore city and surrounding areas in MP. It begins with an evening visit to a bustling old market selling native snacks both savory and sweet. It is the realm of jewelers who run night time street side restaurants once they close their primary operations at dusk. Think of it as desi style block party that I am told goes into wee hours of the morning. My impression was it is worth one visit.  The humid and hot ambience along with crush of humanity doesn’t make for a pleasant dining experience but the sheer variety of foods sort of makes up for it. From piping hot coconut filled fritters to oodles of milk based sweet confections, I gorged on item...
