What started in 2016 as two friends with a Kolkata connect and too much beer is today a virtual group of 2000 advertising, marcom, and digital marketing pros from across India. United by social media we share campaigns, criticisms, observations, experiences, ideas, and anecdotes,
On the ground, we are a registered body that organizes events and discussions, publishes an ad magazine, is building an ad archive, and is now starting a training program for newbies and wannabes. As diehard advertising optimists, we have many more grand plans with no idea of who will foot the bill :-(
We welcome members. All you need is a passion for advertising and the urge to do the new. If you think advertising is ‘the best thing you can do with your pants on’, so much the better, Let’s club together as a friendly fraternity across cities and work out how we can tango. :-)
Talk Shows. Discussions, Case Studies. Memorials, Interviews... we host them all, online and on-ground. Stay tuned to announcements on our Facebook page or groups for what's next. Throw your hat in the ring to participate. You can also join us in their organization as a member of our city Chapters or start your own initiatives under the Oly's banner with our support. It is a club, after all.
We undertake practical short-term workshop-style courses with measurable outcomes. Newbies and aspirants learn the ropes instead of floundering at the job or interviews. Startup entrepreneurs discover strategic and creative principles to avoid wasting money on pretty pictures. Even seasoned agency and digital marketing teams can benefit from customized sessions with industry veterans for better pitches and projects.
We are currently building an e-archive of classic Indian campaigns and advertisements in English, Hindi and Bengali. We welcome contributions in creating an enduring record of our industry and its people. As a spin-off, we also publish the best and worst of contemporary advertisements and digital campaigns in our Facebook page and group. Check out who got the Ollies and raspberries this quarter.
Oly's Kolkata Chapter celebrates Bengali advertising and creativity, apart from issues related to traditional and digital communication in Bangla. Major activities include frequent addas, Bengali training programs in advertising art and copywriting, and a quarterly advertising magazine. Whether you are Indian, Bangladeshi, or expatriate, you are welcome to participate and contribute.

DISCLAIMER: No one is ready to claim responsibility for this site. We promise to upload a more befitting website with a Big Idea that is breathtaking, beguiling and brilliant as soon as the adgurus can agree on its positioning, strategy, content, design, copy and a few more things. The only reason for publishing this is that the deadline has passed and someone is having hysterics.
