Adgully FORUMS | Industry Veterans give a thumbs up...!!

After successfully deep diving into the digital world at Adgully Forums on 11th of December in an upscale town hotel, the veterans of the industry gave a thumbs up to the initiative. We at Adgully caught up with few digital savvy CMOs to understand their experience at Adgully Forums..

Ramesh Chembath, Associate V.P. & Head - Strategic Marketing, Retail Operations, Godrej Appliances said, “Key take away is that we need to stop talking about digital marketing and start looking at creating digital relationship management. The companies are doing great beyond just marketing they're building relationships. It is one of the key tools of how to build, acquire and value customers.”

Deepali Naair, Chief Marketing Officer, Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Limited said, “It is an excellent way to have a freewheeling discussion on issues that are close to the CMOs heart where there is a context of vision and they put up in a very interesting room as we are all very digitally averse. So look forward to many more such forums but different formats.”

Adarsh Pete, Marketing Manager - Digital Marketing, Adobe, India said, “I think it was one of the most electrifying discussion that we just saw. With the kind of questions we got from the audience, we're now setting up the next era of the digital space.”

Sanjay Tripathy, Senior Executive Vice President, Marketing, Product, Digital and E-Commerce, and member of the Executive management Committee at HDFC Life said, “ Its great forum which brought CMOs from different industries to discuss on various topics on the digital consumers and the digital trends in the digital media. I think it is important for all of us to see and learn from each other and see what is happening in the market and digital is something that is here to stay. Whether we are in Print or in travel or in insurance or in consumer durables we all can really learn from the trend and be informative.”

Jayraj Jadhav, Head e Business & Digital Marketing, Tata AIG said, “The best part about Adgully forums is the speaker list. It is good to interact with people who are leading this whole digitization and understand how digital is impacting new businesses and that's what is very critical.”

Tanmay Mohanty, MD, Performics said, “All CMOs seem to spend money.” Ratish Nair, Co-Founder Admagnet, said, “It was a good time here. One thing I'd look at is having a discussion with people who are more. Earlier we would have just discussions but in this forum we have CMOs coming and talking about the same which is a larger part of the ecosystem. Its been a discussion and not a debate and I think that's the best part about it.”

Deep Malhotra, Managing Partner Gemini New Media Ventures, Co-Founder Gemideals.com said, “It is been phenomenal. It is the first time that I have seen this kind of experience and content on a single panel. So this is like an entire session rolled into and has been very interesting and I'm waiting for the next one.”

As we at Adgully come to an end with our first Adgully Forums, we promise to come up with many more such stimulating session. Watch this space for more…!!!
