Innovative Billboard Rescues People!!!

A similar Aircel Billboard in Mumbai, India

Being in the line of marketing & advertising, I know the challenges that go into creating an advertisement these days. Every time a company plans on rolling out a new advertisement to promote their product, there’s so much more than just brand building that they need to look into (read moral & social responsibilities).

Leading newspapers laud the efforts of Aircel
As Stephen Leacock once said… “Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it”
I’m sure Aircel did manage that with the people they ferried home that evening!
