INTRODUCTION
Every student coming out of a B School has an in-depth knowledge of marketing, communication and brands thanks to the theories they study. In our experience, they encounter a rude shock when they start working as real world is significantly different than what the text books tell you. The complexities, the realities, the parameters are different. There is very little common across categories and markets. Hence, a grounding in reality is essential after the learnings in an educational institute. The purpose of the course would be to give a practical overview of brand and communication, keeping in mind the vagaries of market and fickleness of consumers. To take learning’s beyond text books and definitions and look at practical applications. We will use a combination of lectures and workshops to install reality and practicality of brand and communication skills for young professionals.
