  • Let's Introduce Some Human Stupidity - The Counterintuitive Way to Win the Content Wars
    Jan 3 2026

    The internet is drowning in AI-generated content. Content that show lions attacking people, monkeys stealing things, emotionally manipulative videos created with a single prompt. Platforms are filling up with what one host calls "low-value, emotional fluff."


    So how does a business actually cut through the noise?


    In this episode, hosts Nisha Prakash and Anoop Kurup sit down with marketing veteran Avinash Joshi to tackle the uncomfortable truth about content in 2026: the algorithm doesn't care if your content is real, your audience eventually will.


    They discuss:-

    - Why chasing AI-generated viral trends is a trap (and what to do instead)

    - The overlooked power of "stray content"

    - Why Instagram Stories might be your most underrated tool right now

    - The difference between having an opinion and having a point of view

    - How to get risk-averse clients to embrace brave ideas (hint: add a "time to be brave" slide)


    Plus, the line that sums up the entire episode: "let's introduce some human stupidity into it."


    If you're a brand, marketer, or creator wondering how to stay relevant when everyone has access to the same AI tools, this one's for you.

  • Why AI Can't Save Bad Marketing (And What Actually Works)
    Dec 23 2025

    Everybody's panicking about AI. But is pumping out AI-generated content really the answer?

    In this episode, Anoop, Nisha, and marketing veteran Avinash Joshi (CMO, Open Gate) get into the hard truths about what actually works in marketing today.

    We discuss:→ What brands like Havells and Atomberg get right (and what most startups get wrong)→ Why "garbage in, garbage out" applies to AI marketing→ The difference between price sensitivity and value paranoia in India→ Why the basics of marketing still beat the latest tools

    Avinash brings 20+ years of agency and brand-side experience — from building campaigns for legacy brands to running his own agency to launching a biker apparel line.

    His take? AI is great in the hands of an expert. In the hands of everyone else? It's just faster garbage.

    If you're tired of the AI hype and want clarity on what actually moves the needle, this one's for you.

  • Old Movies, New Minds: Ads, Status, Psychology & the Things We Don’t Think About
    Dec 7 2025

    Hey there! Welcome to another episode of "Click, Brand, and Beyond".

    In this episode of LinkedIn Timeline Talk, Nisha and Anoop dive into how Netflix is reviving old movies that never got their due—and what that says about nostalgia and consumption today. They explore how ads are targeted differently for men and women, why Indian advertising leans heavily on emotion and status, and how Cadbury continues to dominate the chocolate market.

    They also decode India’s unique consumer psychology: splurging ₹50k on luxury without blinking, yet bargaining for a ₹20 onion… watching pirated films on an iPhone but refusing a Netflix subscription… and how “cheap means low quality” still shapes our choices.

    From visible vs. invisible purchases to the quick-commerce convenience fee psyche, this episode unpacks how wants, needs, and status quietly run the show. Tune in for a deep, relatable, and eye-opening take on modern consumer behaviour.
