100 Years Ago: Word of Mouth & Bazaar Banners
Marketing was hyper-local. Brands relied on community trust, street
vendors, product sampling at melas, and simple hand-painted signs.
50 Years Ago: Print, Radio & Door-to-Door
Print ads, jingles on radio, and house-to-house sales built national
brands. FMCG giants invested in physical sampling, door-to-door
demos, and regional launches.
20 Years Ago: TV Dominance & Retail Activations
Television became king. Mega launches with film stars, glossy
packaging, and retail shelf wars shaped buying behavior. Events,
roadshows, and modern trade promotions were key.
Last 5 Years: Digital Disruption
Social media influencers, eCommerce, WhatsApp, and viral video
content. D2C brands now reach millions with Instagram reels,
regional KOLs, micro-influencers, and digital-first sampling.
The Next 10 Years: Data-Driven, Hyperlocal & Experiential
AI-powered consumer insights, voice search, AR product demos, and
shoppable content will rule. Brands must adapt—personalization,
influencer tribes, retail+digital convergence, and always-on
optimization.
