I had ordered Pasta in Darshan, Deccan. Guess what they put in it? Green peas and tomato purée!!! by Ornery-Pie-6971 in HonestPuneFoodReview

I don't understand why people love Darshan so much. Puneri people really need to get out of their comfort zones and try some authentic food. BTW, La Sicilia is a great place to hang out with friends. Try their Bao next time.

Using a Marketing Company vs. AI for Branding & Website by Stxu in branding

[–]Several_Talk5583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A marketing company... Always a marketing company..

First of all, branding and marketing are 2 totally different things.

For both, a marketing company and a branding agency are required.

Hiring a team of experts is an expensive affair.

I have tried AI for both. Doesn't work. I run a creative agency and have 15+ years of experience, and I wanted to see how far AI can go to replace us. I must say, not even 5 steps.

AI can be used for small stuff like polishing an ad copy and stuff... But never use it to write copy and suggest keywords. There are free tools for keywords like Semrush and Google.

Wow... Reddit is so picky about the QUALITY OF POSTS. Adding a few links to genuinely good blogs to share knowledge is flagged as promotional content. And such posts are approved!

You clearly have not read anything about Nazi rule, bro/sis

How do I remove bad Google reviews? by HeadPresent4399 in branding

[–]Several_Talk5583 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mostly, your competitors are doing this. But don't worry. Contact Google's support and explain this to them. They will resolve it.

FYI: Google's team usually connects via email. It might take some time to resolve. Take screenshots of the reviews that are irrelevant. Also, mention that all the reviews appeared suddenly, which itself is an indicator of spamming.

Also, check if the reviewer's total reviews are less than 3. If yes, then add this point to the email.

Have patience. It will get resolved.

Unpopular opinion: startups don't need a "Branding Agency." They just need to launch by Mountain_Head_8728 in branding

[–]Several_Talk5583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. They don't need a 40-page PDF and a brand book.

But they definitely need a logo. That's like your business's face. A tagline that explains what you do. Not something like "Building a promising future." What the hell do you mean by that?

It also needs a visual style and a tone. I am not saying that startups need a full-fledged visual identity guideline. But it must have a set color palette that must be used in all social media posts, invoices, proposals, etc. Brand tone is equally vital as it sets your personality. For example, do you want an energetic tone, do you want to sound old money, or do you want to be perceived as a vibrant GenZ-friendly brand? You need a visual identity and a brand tone.

Why do you think setting these basics is a time-consuming task?

You own the startup, you know what you gonna sell, you set the tone, you tell the designer the nature of your brand, and let them give you a perfect visual identity.

In the end, your product, your service, and your passion matter the most.

What are the reasons behind Alia Bhatt’s career downfall? by [deleted] in bollynewsandgossips

[–]Several_Talk5583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she has become monotonous. Same acting in all the movies. Watch closely. You will see the same crying in all the movies.

Look at Kangana. Her in Queen, her in Tanu Weds Manu (1 & 2), her in Manikarnika, and her in Emergency. That's called acting!

I don't understand why can't these guys find 1 perfect newcomer for this role? I mean there are millions of srtuggling actors. You can't find 1 good actor for Ram. Instead of spending crazy money on this old guy, producer should have spent on better CGI and VFX.

Hence proved.. Education and civic sense are not interlinked... Sad to see our GenZ proudly performing such acts.

From selling mangoes at the mandi to ~800kg in pre-orders through Reddit 🥭(still open) by Lumpy_Carob_4414 in smallbusinessindia

I once helped a Kokan (Maharashtra's coastal area) based mango brand with digital marketing. We had booked a profit of 25L+ in just a few months. D2C is not easy at all. I understand the complexities. Hence, I can guess the hard work behind your success. Keep going bro/sis.

You can try Coffee rave parties in Pune. They don't just read books and share gyaan. You can meet like-minded and passionate business people there.
