Only if I could be funny enough to make this blog humorous, I’d be a happier writer. But it’s true, isn’t it? We are living in the time where no language is louder than wit or sarcasm. Today, comic timing is delivering more results than office timing (bad try :P).

Though the brand is controversy’ favorite child, yet it has managed to grab the attention with its social media content and campaigns. It perfectly blends the sarcasm with wit. With its catchy communication, the brand has created huge buzz on all channels – social media, print, and outdoor.
