Why is CRED spending so much on Ads ? Do they really need it ?

Why companies like Nestle, Pepsi keep advertising?

because they actually have a good product

Aink, they don’t need advertisement as product is good and people should buy anyways. Right?

Let me know if you resonate with this.

Kunal has invested a lot in his personal PR as well. He has transformed into a influencer now and keeps giving random gyaan to any company that pays him. He was in Flipkart also I heard.

I think with all the bad monikers CRED has got, it has forced Kunal to do something at any cost and be relevant. And look he has money(plenty). So he can keep doing this for a bit longer.

So, I think it's about doing something to protecting his reputation. I strongly feel that. And these ads are creative though it endorses a fraud product.

Do you feel this?

PS. Product managers drool over him. They should find better inspiration than look for another fraud as if they are not looking fraudulent enough themselves already. We need a practical breed of PMs to inspire the kids

I wanna understand where this is coming from?
Why do you think the company is a fraud? How has the product defrauded anyone?

We don't know how much they spend. But, to be honest, I love their Ads. It's so much creative

And if they are doing it, I am sure they must have had reasons

Yes, startups are supposed to burn money. And they are trying their best to achieve it.

I've realised one thing- we hate when Indian startups do any good marketing. We dunk on them but if a US startup does it, it's great.

I keep seeing this time and again. Also, shows how most people here just don't get it ;)

because we don't give a shit about US startups, of course we are going to question about our own country's startups

Cred is truly a topic of surprise for me. Yes, I understand it has created a community of top spenders/credit worthy people in India. I also understand that they can use the information on such people for creating value for themselves.
