Kathmandu, April 20, 2017: Many times we skip channels when ads are on. Is it because the audience wants more content? Or is it because the programs are more entertaining than the ads, which really should not be the case at all. Why don’t we swoon over our advertisement as we do over those super bowl ads or even ads from India? Is it really because we lack creativity? Or, our young generations aren’t worthy enough, creative enough? Why is it that we are competing in other sectors of life, be it art, photography, painting, teaching, creating enterprise, but lagging light years behind our peers. Or, is it just because Nepali youth lack a platform?
The latter seems to be the case.
Taking this into consideration, War of the Wits is going to be held in the town, one of its kind of platform where the brightest of the young minds will come forward to take on the mettle of creativity and push our advertising-traditional and digital, ahead.
