The beauty of advertising is that a large audience can be targeted just through a few words or an interactive creative. Nowadays, advertisers follow a minimalist approach to address consumers. The message is direct and is made sure to be loud and clear for the audience to understand and empathize, more often than not. In the same fashion, the festivity of Holika Dahan or Holi painted the country not just in colors but through the idea of tactful advertising campaigns by various brands.
