Ad Club Bangalore to host webinar to discuss COVID-19 impact on media industry
MUMBAI: The Advertising Club Bangalore will host a webinar on 7 April, 2020 focusing on COVID-19’s impact on the advertising industry. According to the organisers, the webinar will help industry professionals equip themselves with the knowledge to tide through the economic downturn caused by the virus.
Vincent Dong, President Ad – Vice Software & Consulting Inc, widely acknowledged as one of the finest in the business, will conduct the webinar, sharing insights from his diverse experience ranging over three decades. He is expected to shed light on the immediate steps agencies should be taking to prepare for the recession, as well as tips on how to stay stable in these trying times.
Sharing his thoughts about the ongoing situation, Laeeq Ali, President of The Ad Club Bangalore and Co-founder of Origami Creative and Bloombox Brand Engineers, said: “There are times when you are thinking and wondering how to recalibrate or re-engineer your business. Uncertainty is all around us and many thoughts would be running through the minds of the leaders.”
The Advertising Club Bangalore executive director Arvind Kumar says: 'The media and advertising industry – across the spectrum – have been distressed due to the impact of the lockdown on account of Covid-19. Businesses are unsure about what is there in the immediate future, particularly in the next three months, as businesses are at a standstill, supplies flying off shelves and logistics being a concern. This is a beginning of a series of initiatives envisaged by The Ad Club – Bangalore to help find some answers to various problems of the industry. This is a joint fight as the current environment might lead to a recession and it might take months to recover from it. We hope various constituents of our industry will take part in this Webinar, in the process of coping with and handling this unfortunate situation."
Tune in to the webinar on Tuesday, 7 April at 7 pm for 'Ad-Vice' on agency operations, finance, consulting, and software consulting to ensure that your business stays prepared to face challenges and emerge a winner.

Dinshaw’s launches 3x chocolate cone with ‘Dildaari’ campaign
Vinod Kambli fronts summer push built around richer final bite.
MUMBAI: The sweetest part of an ice cream may no longer be the first lick, it is now the last word. Dinshaw’s is rewriting the rules of cone indulgence with its new ‘Dildaari’ campaign, built around a simple twist: three times more solid chocolate at the tip.
At the centre of the launch is a familiar consumer truth, the final bite of a cone is often the most anticipated. Dinshaw’s is leaning into that moment, turning it into the hero by amplifying the chocolate layer at the bottom, effectively repositioning the end of the cone as the highlight of the experience.
The campaign is fronted by former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli, whose personal journey lends an emotional undertone to the storytelling. Built around the line “Jinko life mein thoda kam mila, unke liye thoda zyada”, the narrative blends nostalgia with generosity, framing the product upgrade as more than just a feature, it is a gesture.
Timed for peak summer and the ongoing cricket season, the campaign taps into moments of heightened consumption and sentiment, where small indulgences carry outsized emotional value.
The new range features nine flavours Badam Roasted, Butterscotch, Caramel Dolce, Choco Chip, Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Ganache, Cookies n Cream, Mississippi Dark and Mocha Black and White each designed to complement the enhanced chocolate finish.
Conceptualised by Womb, the campaign pivots away from functional messaging to a more human insight: that sometimes, the smallest additions can make the biggest difference.
As brands continue to hunt for differentiation in a crowded category, Dinshaw’s bet is clear, if you cannot change the whole cone, make the last bite unforgettable.
