Brand Speaks NASSCOM Madurai

Dear All,

With the emerging of new IT –BPO destinations, we are contented to invite you to our First edition and 37th session of NASSCOM Emerge Forum in Madurai, TN.
It’s time your Brand Speaks !
Outsourcing has changed. Most will agree and a chosen few have realized back in 2006. Fewer still have readied themselves for the current version 3.0.
Building an armoury which can help you win in Marketplace 2.0 will need to have breakthroughs in innovations which were not even dreamt about a few months back, technologies and their interplay acting as super-catalysts for the customers and consumers and marketing machinery which goes beyond websites and brochures.
This is about marketing and doing it to world class standards and getting your brand to really speak up. Finally, In 36 minutes, 18 ‘tested’ ideas on being able to leverage your brand to gain disproportionate gains in customer mindshare are shared.
The construct of the ideas are around:
1. How does one differentiate the brand truly when the offerings ‘appear’ the same?
2. What are the outliers doing?
3. Building a brand from the start requires that the owner does a few things at the very beginning. A lion cub is a lion when it is born, not after it is 8 years old.
4. Marketing is not just digital. As yet. Leveraging physical properties is essential too
5. Lessons from other industries which IT industry can learn and build on.
Please join us to hear from Mr. Sunder Madakshira the Marcom expert. We look forward to your valuable participation.

Best Regards,
K Purushothaman
