Darpan News Desk IANS, 17 Dec, 2016 02:10 PM
  • When PM Narendra Modi Asked Adman For Story In 6 Minutes
Adman Piyush Pandey took only six minutes to pitch his story about Gujarat tourism to Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he was the chief minister of the state.
 
Mr Pandey, the award winning marketing guru, had designed the popular 'Khushboo Gujarat Ki' campaign. 
 
"The PM, on a lighter note, had then said that I will keep on speaking about Gujarat but you have to give a story only in six minutes. I told him that I know about my product. That is why people from Ratan Tata to a gatekeeper like my creative advertisements," he said recalling his experience of working with Mr Modi on the project
 
Mr Pandey added that making advertisement was not "rocket science", but not "common science" either.
 
"It is about imagination and creativity to touch consumers in a simple but effective manner," he said.
