Interesting comments. Out of the 22 lakh readers that the brand claims to have reached through the device, how many can actually buy a luxury sedan. I think one must credit the agency and that includes the media agency for aggressive selling. After all “thought leadership’ whatever that means can be a very seductive appeal!
