Print Marketing Let us further converse over this topic and analyze another reason that make Print Media still an effective form of advertising. A basic reason for the efficacy of print is the fact that it is more reliable and fulfils the process of accountability. Social Media is a private medium. When you search a brand or a business on social media, you will hardly get a single result for it. Instead, you will be shown three, four or even more business pages/groups operating under the same title. This will be a confounding situation for someone who does not know the intricacies to identify the authenticity of a brand. Since Facebook is a private and open market, anyone can replicate the identity of a brand. Contrary to this, Print Media is still the authentic forum. You can rely on the ad that you see on a newspaper and can even access it through the newspaper.

Boss - The Leader There are certain traits that a good boss must possess. If an organization is lucky to have such a boss, it is more likely to step on the elevator of success. Half of the employees that quit their jobs quit because of their boss. A bad boss is the single biggest reason for disengagement and low performance in an organization. Let us see what attributes a good boss must have. A good boss must be a positive thinker, one who looks at every situation as a learning opportunity. He must be honest to the employees.

Creative Junction - Advertising Agency We talked about all the important departments of a marketing agency in previous blogs. We deeply analyzed their work and importance. However, all these departments depend on one person to work smoothly. That person is the Boss; whom the whole agency looks up to. Like a commander in a war, a leader in a government, a teacher in a school, there is a boss in a business. We all seek someone in our lives who could show us the way and in a corporate world, boss is exactly that person. A boss manages the agency to make every one work accordingly and coherently. A boss sets the goals of an agency to envision the landmarks that the agency must reach. A boss balances the profits and expenditures to keep the company’s vaults happy. There is a lot more in the list of tasks that boss does but let us stick with the clichéd line that a boss ‘leads from the front’. The role of a boss is the most important. However, it is also a very sensitive position th...

Accounts Department When you run a business, one of the most important things is to look over the flow of money for it is the basement of every business. You need to keep a careful eye on its inlets, the place where it’s kept and of course, its outlets. The future of you and your company depends on the revenue you generate. This essential task is to be taken after by the Accounts Department. An Accounts manager with a team of people who are good with numbers is supposed to do this job for you. Accountants are very rich apparently, not specifically in reality though. You sit with them at a cafeteria and they would talk of millions or billions even and still ask you to pay for the tea. This is the nature of their job. So you need to hire people with specific traits in this department. People who are honest and can deal a tense situation with perseverance. People who master the numbers and know how to control their movements effectively. This department is very important and it ...
