From Books to Execution...

Whenever I read about an interesting execution of marketing fundaas or innovative approaches to reaching out to consumers I get a feeling that most of them don't follow the set theories in the books. Well, IRIS 2005 another right opportunity for our team to test our marketing skills. When it came to promotion of the event we have taken extra pains to make sure that the event stands out from the crowd and gets recognized.

We wanted a unique look and feel for the whole event. The regulars like brochures, website etc have become commonplace promotional material these days. We wanted to have something extra. Something to spread the event rampantly and encourage the people to know more about it. Several brainstorming sessions and "ek cup chai" we launched the following publicity tools.

  • IRIS Blog

  • Avatar Maker – Generate an avatar for your messenger/forum etc.

  • Introduction – made an attractive flash introduction

  • Ringtone – IRIS flash intro’s music to be converted to ringtone

  • Blogging Contest – To get publicity/support for the event

  • Blog buttons

  • Wallpapers / Screensaver – To be developed based on IRIS theme

  • Podcasting – Some of the events during IRIS 2005 are going to be podcasted if everything goes well.

  • Posters – Interesting and innovative to say the least. Will post them on the website in a days time.

Well, that's not all. More things will be revealed with time. Till then Enjoy

+4

Till a week ago there is one thing that worried all of us in IRIS team. Its not the execution of games or participation issues. Its much more basic and necessary thing that bothered us. The money. At the end of the day IRIS is also a student festival managed by half-baked managers. So when our sponsorship counter stopped after the initial surge we were all worrying about what to do to get the additional funds. For one, the funds are needed to fulfill the expectations of everyone associated with IRIS.

Everyday Goyal (coord), Diwan & Mehra (spons folks) would come to my room to sit with Sanchit (creative) and Dejo (events) and me to discuss the doors left unknocked. And then we would all think of ways to prune the budgets or tinker the prize monies.

Then out of blue the relentless pitches by the spons team paid off. Today we added 4 more new names to the corporate partners including biggies like ONGC and L&T. This I must say has taken a huge load off our heads. Now all of us are worried about making the event even bigger than what we thought of initially.

ONLY ONE will get the prize

270+ is the number of teams who sent their entries to Papyrus paperwriting competition

260+ is the number of teams participated in Insuris Prelims

300+ is the number of teams took part in online prelims of Storwars
