Key Highlights
The spread of mobile phone and Internet usage in emerging markets is reshaping assumptions over the approach to consumer engagement and advertising. Western brand owners need to account for the non-traditional impact that this is having on getting consumers' attention; personal media is replacing TV as the principal channel.

Magnum Pink andamp; Black has been positioned as a luxury item rather than an ice cream. Such efforts, when pursued successfully, allow a product to become a lifestyle brand, transcending their category. They are no longer "just a …", but something that speaks to the consumer about how they view/value themselves and to others via image projection.
