I Made It To Deccan Chronicles As Well!

After Times Of India and Bangalore Mirror, I now made it to Deccan Chronicles as well :D Yesterday afternoon Tenzin, a journal at Deccan Chronicles, rang me up asking questions about what digital marketing is and how it works, how I balanced my studies along with my work load and also asked me to mention a few project categories that I’ve worked on. And today I see it in the paper :D

All thanks to Hrish Thota (@dhempe) for directing Tenzin to me and sharing my number with her. :)

Quote from the paper

BCA student Joel Fernandes, co-founder of Darkwater Digital, a digital marketing company, tells us, “I have managed social media for two films, two novels and even a hotel. By creating pages and communities on social media, we create an online network for the brand.

P.S. A perfect news that lifted my mood when I reached home after finishing my Data Communications exam which was not-that-good.

She shared all the details with the Editor and the Editor asked me to form a group of 6 and asked the 6 of us go to different places in Bangalore and capture some interesting shots at the same time. In the sense, we were supposed to go to different places individually and click some shots at one particular (same) time. The time and the place was all our choice. So, we planned on it and decided to go on 23rd July, 2009 (It was my mom’s birthday that day :) ). We started our walk at 10:30am in the morning and completed it by 12 noon. Unfortunately, one out of the 6 dropped coz of unavoidable conditions and we were only 5 of us.
