    Good morning, Friends. I ........... stand before you to speak on the topic "It's an ad ad ad world".

    Let me begin by asking a question. Why do TV channels, cinema and print media carry so many ads ? Well, the reasons are not difficult to find. Commercials and ads are the lifeline of the media. They provide the vital funds to make media sustainable. Producers reach out to the consumers through these commercials and ads. Consumers are grateful for the consumer awareness they provide and which help them choose and buy judiciously. Manufacturers and sellers can create a demand for their products.

    Commercials and ads are a lot of pure fun and humour and colour. Whether it's a Fevicol ad, Nerolac paints commercial, Bournvita or Horlicks ad-commercials, Bournvita or Horlicks ad-commercials are packed with creativity in 30 seconds or less. No wonder viewers can recall ads better than some very popular soaps! No wonder ad gurus laugh their way to the bank with hefty pay packets! No wonder there are more ads on any channel and in any print media than news and views and entertainment and information! Now dear friend, see you after the break.

    Stay tuned.

    Thank you.
