Brands Whisper’g

www.brandswhispering.com

Brands Whisper’g is a new e-learning, e-teaching model, using web and video as the teaching platform. The project is simply based on having a digital video case library in marketing, with the narration of top business executives, talking about specific marketing problems that they have faced and how they have solved it. The product idea was generated by N. Vardar and El Izi.  

Video cases are structured like a e-book on Marketing, each chapter being explained with the help of a live example, linking it to marketing theory. In the last 10 minutes of the video, the chosen topic is summarized with the help of Prof. Dr. N. Vardar’s voiceover, asking three questions and answering them, to make it more informative and lecture like. The website is free access. Please visit www.brandswhispering.com for more information.
