that there are many key drivers and trends that would lead to the growth of the interior designing industry. Some of them are:

In addition, there has been a rise in demand for smart planning and technology integrated design services.

| Issue 13 | September 2021
2. Development of Government Institutes
The development of smart cities, smart government institutes, airports, healthcare, and infrastructure by the government will also boost the growth of the interior design service market during the forecast period.
3. Increasing Demand for improved residential spaces
The demand for luxurious personalized kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms and houses is also increasing among consumers. Urbanization and the rise in consumer awareness about the impact of the interior environment on lifestyle is resulting in increased demand for flexible spaces, living rooms, and other residential spaces. The residential space dominates the global interior design market owing to the growth in the income and purchasing power of the consumers and home-ownership rates. Due to rising exposure to various cultures and global trends, people are getting exposed to new and unique designs and decorations, leading to consumers hiring interior designing services. This is prompting Interior designers to offer innovative design solutions that maximize space and ensures near-zero wastage. “The increase in construction activities and introduction of premium interior designing services are some other major factors that will boost market growth during the forecast period,” says a senior analyst at Technavio.

China, Japan, and India are the key markets for interior design services in APAC.” The report says that market growth in the APAC region will be faster than the growth of the market in other regions. It also mentions that “The increasing demand for construction services from developing countries will facilitate the interior design services market growth in APAC over the forecast period.” The growth in the Asia-Pacific region can be projected owing to change in lifestyle, changing tastes in home decor, increased disposable income, and population growth.

CAMPAIGNS THAT ROCKED SOCIAL MEDIA
“We don’t have a choice on whether we do social media, the question is how well we do it.” - Erik Qualman
T
he world has now converted itself into a global village wherein we all are connected through digital media. We spend the majority of our time scrolling through our social media platforms, checking out new reels, ads and looking for new content. Social media trends have started becoming a huge part of our daily life. Any trending content that gets viral on social media is heard all around. Be it the “Kya Karu, main mar jau?” song by Yashraj Mukhate or “Jaane Meri Jaaneman, Bachpan Ka Pyaar”, every buzzing trend takes a toll over our life. Such is the magical power and conquest of social media.
BRAND CAMPAIGNS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The imprints of digital media leave a deep vision in the minds of the audience. Looking at the threshold of social media in today’s scenario, creating a strong presence in the digital arena has now become a necessity instead of a choice for all brands. Increasing brand awareness through various social media campaigns is an important benchmark for every brand today. There may be different goals for a brand to begin social media campaigns. Frequently, the campaigns are made to trigger the target audience and strike the right string of their heart. Word of mouth is a huge advantage for a brand that comes through heart-wrenching promotions and campaigns. Relating the brand to the set of audiences in a creative tone builds a bridge between them. Using the right kind of techniques, trends, and concepts, brands can launch awestruck social media campaigns that spike a fire on digital media and enhances their brand presence. To create successful social media campaigns, brands need to have a look at the existing social media campaigns by brands that have ignited a huge crackle on the internet. Do you wish to know the top-notch brand advocacy campaigns that put social media on fire? Here they are-
36 | TheGlobalHues | Vol. 1
| Issue 13 | September 2021
1. APPLE’S SHOT ON IPHONE CAMPAIGN
Apple as a brand has always come up with quirky, innovative, engaging, modern edge solutions for the audience. Apple began a hashtag #shotoniphone which is still trending, indicating the success of the campaign. Under it, every aspiring photographer or photo enthusiast began taking eye-pleasing pictures through the iPhone. This is one of the longest-running campaigns in the history of social media.
2. DOVE’S REAL BEAUTY AND NO DIGITAL DISTORTION CAMPAIGN
Pioneering the agenda of “self-love” and “self-esteem”, this #nodigitaldistortion and #realbeauty campaign emphasized the natural look of women with no filters. It showcased women being the way they are. Highlighting the social stigma of women being under constant pressure to look perfect, Dove aimed to express the beauty of imperfections in women as they ought to be.
3. KITKAT’S HAVE A BREAK, HAVE A KITKAT CAMPAIGN
Totally, one of the best campaigns that still resides in our hearts, KitKat’s #haveabreakhaveakitkat normalizes mental peace and the need to take a back seat in the hubbub of life during the normal “chores”. A soothing and funny way to engage the audience and set the alight tone for them worked in the favor of KitKat.
4. STARBUCKS UNICORN FRAPPUCCINO SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN
Listed on the “best social media ad campaigns 2017”, Starbucks’s #unicornfrappucino, took Instagram by a huge storm. Targeting the millennials, Starbucks posted a picture of a pink and purple glittery drink and made it available for a short period in stores. Using “FOMO- fearing of missing out”, a lingo of the millennium, the brand managed to bring a huge crowd of people to the stores.
5. GILLETTE’S THE BEST MAN CAN BE AND THE BEST SELF CAMPAIGN
An initiative to end toxic masculinity in the form of “men will be men”, the brand strived to create trust support among the audience in their favor. Though, it became one of the most disliked videos on YouTube and garnered huge trolls. Five months later, the brand came up with another campaign to advertise a transgender using a razor to shave for the first time in life. This campaign brought huge appraisals to the brand.
6. NIKES’S BLACK LIVES MATTER AND STOP ASIAN HATE CAMPAIGN
Increasing awareness on social issues and raising a strong voice in society by a brand evoked a lot of emotions in the minds of people. Nike has always stood up for social concerns and its #blacklivesmatter and #stopasianhate were widely popular campaigns.
8. LINKEDIN’S NEXT WAVE CAMPAIGN
During the time of the pandemic, work culture suffered drastically. People lost their jobs and unemployment increased. LinkedIn used this opportunity to engage with people through their creative posts and campaigns. It started a hashtag called #nextwave highlighting the top professionals under the age of 35.
9. PEPSI INDIA’S CRASH THE PEPSI IPL CAMPAIGN
Interacting with the audience directly is an amazing way for social media campaigns. Pepsi India started a hashtag, #crashthepepsiipl wherein people were persuaded to bring out their creative sides and create short ads for the brand that would be broadcasted on TV. Cash prices, perks were all a part of the campaign to make it an attractive bonanza for the audience.
10. ARIEL’S SHARE THE LOAD CAMPAIGN
Raising voice against a very important social issue, the deep-rooted patriarchy and male-dominated society, Ariel’s share the load campaign talked about the pressure women face so as to balance their work-life with household chores. The campaign didn’t appeal like an advertisement, instead touched a societal issue that left a deep impact on the lives of people. The perfect blend of creativity with the need of the audience is what creates a successful social media campaign.
7. ONEPLUS INDIA’S YOUR BEST SHOT CAMPAIGN
In a similar way to apple, OnePlus too began a campaign called #yourbestshot for all the aspiring photographers to come forward and showcase their talent. With an active follower base, the campaign became a huge success.

No ambition is small. Each person is unique and is God’s own creation
Tushar explains all the factors that a founder of a company should keep in mind who are looking for equity funding. He says, “The foremost factor for a founder or a teammate who is looking for equity funding is to have an internet presence or Google presence. Anybody who searches your name or your company’s name on Google, the first 10 or 20 results should give the person a good idea about what you do, why you do, and what is your passion. For that, you need to write a lot, blog a lot - you can write a blog on medium.com or you can upload your videos on YouTube or you can have some speaking engagements. Some websites can also cover your work area and profile.” Tushar also mentions another significant piece of advice and says, “Founders need to establish good relationships with selected investors and the founders of the investee companies of these investors.” He also advises entrepreneurs to go to events so that they can ask questions and engage with investors on LinkedIn. And once entrepreneurs build a connection with the investors, they can ask them about their investment thesis and in most of the cases, the investment thesis is given on the website of the investors. He suggests, “The best way of approaching these investors is through the founders of their investee companies.”
FUNDING SCENARIO IN INDIA
According to Tushar, “India’s startup domain is poised to gain further momentum after the unprecedented funding boom created 20 unicorns or private firms valued at $1 billion or more, this year.”

| Issue 13 | September 2021
T
here are a lot of negative physical reactions created when the body is not in movement. With increased working hours and unhealthy routines due to the work-from-home setup in the Covid-19 pandemic, it is prominent to practice yoga that can undo the damage caused and make your body fit. Do these 5 yoga poses that will help you undo the damage of a high-pressure job by helping to calm your mind.
1) DOWNWARD-FACING DOG
zz This asana is also known as the Adho Mukha Svanasana. zz To come into this pose, create an inverted “V’ shape. zz Keep your hands outstretched in front and lift the hips and ground the feet (at about hip-width apart) into the floor. zz Place all the fingers into the floor and point them forward, bring all your focus on your breath as you enjoy this relaxing stretch for 30-60 seconds.
1]
2) MOUNTAIN POSE
zz This pose is popularly known as ‘Tadasana’. zz Come to a comfortable standing position keeping feet hip-width apart. zz Put your hands up over your head with palms facing forward and thumbs hooked as you bend backwards and breathe deeply. zz The mountain pose is a powerful pose to free up tight chest muscles and should be practiced regularly.

3) STANDING FORWARD FOLD
zz This yoga pose is also named as Uttanasana. zz Stand upright with your feet at hip-width distance, and gently bend forward from the hips to come into the forward bend. zz To keep the tension off the lower back, bend the knees slightly. zz Try including an arm bind to stretch the shoulders. zz Interlock your hands at the lower back and stretch the arms over your head and hands as much as you can towards the ground in front of you. zz For those with tight shoulders, you can hold a belt between your hands, allowing the shoulders to get a deep but less intense stretch.
4]
4) FISH POSE
zz This pose is also popularly known as Matsyasana. zz To get into the pose, sit on your hips with legs stretched out together in front of you and toes pointed sharply. zz Place your hands beneath your hips and lean backwards to prop yourself up on your forearms. zz Lift your chest above the shoulders and drop the head back to the ground behind you. zz Breathe deeply and remain in the pose for around 15-30 seconds.
