Packaging South Asia

Real estate these days, as is evident from the din and blare of its advertising, is in great demand for a variety of reasons. Every piece of land or built-up surface that can be acquired is being “developed” and put to good use. In the same way, product brand-owners, in their attempts to own more and more of their potential customers’ mind-share, seek out and cover the maximum possible outdoor advertising real estate. This ownership manifests itself as brightly painted hoardings and wall paintings popping out of the landscape (sometimes amidst green farmlands) to scream their brand message constantly for the customers’ brief attention.
