From 50,000 Readers in Three Years to 50,000 in a Day: The FIFA Effect (12-06-2026)

 

Today posted an article on the FIFA World Cup on our blog, dranil-marketingmusings.blogspot.com, and the readership simply rocketed. Encouraged by the response, I plan to publish one article a day and see where this journey leads.

On a good day, the blog attracts around 3,000 readers. On a great day, the numbers touch 10,000. On exceptional days, we cross 15,000. But today has been something altogether different. As I write this, we have already crossed 44,000 page views for the day, and the numbers are still climbing.

To put things in perspective, it took nearly three years for the blog to accumulate its first 50,000 page views. Today, we are approaching that figure in a single day. The scale and speed of this growth are simply mind-boggling.

June has been equally remarkable. In just the first 11 days of the month, we have already clocked 1,40,000 page views. During the same period, the blog's cumulative readership has jumped from 17,00,000 to 18,30,000 page views, adding an entire lakh and thirty thousand views in less than two weeks.

These numbers are far beyond anything I had imagined when I started writing. They reaffirm the power of timely content and, more importantly, the incredible reach of the internet, which allows a niche blog to find readers across continents.

A heartfelt thank you to readers from all over the world. Your curiosity, engagement, and encouragement make this journey worthwhile. Here's to many more stories, insights, and conversations in the days ahead.

When Words Lose Weight, Brands Collapse

I saw an advertisement recently. “Free Fridge on AC.” Immediately, two things hit me. One, you never say Fridge in a proper headline. You say Refrigerator. Words are not casual. Words define class. Words signal positioning.

The visual showed a man sitting comfortably on top of an AC. Beside him was the so-called “fridge”. Both the man and the fridge looked heavier than the AC itself. Poor AC. It looked like it would collapse under the weight of bad creative judgment.

It looked like the entire campaign was created on ChatGPT. Even on ChatGPT, the prompt engineering was not up to the mark. As they say, it is not the machine that matters; it is the man who is manning the machine who matters, who can use that machine effectively and efficiently.

And this is a national retail brand. Penny-wise. Pound foolish. The company saved a few thousand by not going to a proper ad agency.  But what did it cost in brand perception?  The brand’s communication comes across as frivolous. You pay peanuts as salaries; you get monkeys as employees. Harsh? Maybe. True? Often. Communication is not decoration. It is a strategy. It is physics. It is psychology. It is a language discipline.

And then I thought of something opposite. RES PV Ltd. Baseline: “Redefining Sunlight.” Just pause. Redefining Sunlight. In 1994-95. When even Google did not exist. When solar was not fashionable. When sustainability was not a buzzword. That is out-of-the-box thinking.

That is vision. And then came the portable solar lantern, Kuteerdeep. What did Narender call it. “Kuteerdeep – Son of the Sun.” Brilliance. Not just a lantern. Not just a rural lighting product. Not just a utility. “Son of the Sun.”

Poetic. Powerful. Memorable. Narender was our Creative Director at GI Communications (P) Limited. He wrote both the above campaigns. I was the Director of Accounts. Those were glorious days. We would debate one word for hours. We would reject ten headlines before approving one. We believed communication deserved respect. Today, software can create images in seconds. But ideas? Ideas still need thinking. And thinking still needs people who care.

Good advertising is not about tools. It is about thought. Not about software. About sensitivity. Not about offers. About ownership of language. If you respect the brand, you respect the word. And when you respect the word, the market respects you.
