This is a five-episode series, which will be launched on Lionsgate Play on weekly basis.   In the series, New York Times best-selling author and memoirist Jillian Lauren uncovers Sam Little’s darkest secrets and aids law enforcement in solving a multitude of cold case murders. This is while struggling to reconcile her own history of addiction and abuse, with her present-day mission to return the identities of previously nameless bodies and forgotten women. As she slips deeper into his sordid world, Jillian realizes that she may become, psychologically, Little’s last victim. The story will detail Lauren’s race against time to identify Little’s victims.

    Glad U Came,  an award-winning PR and Influencer Marketing Agency based in Mumbai launches the #PayYourInterns campaign, which advocates for an increase in the amount of paid internships across all work sectors. The campaign addresses how paid internships can offer an opportunity to students and help them prepare for the future without having to sacrifice financial stability, especially in the current economy heavily affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.   Glad U Came believes that everyone who works, including interns, are entitled to get paid, regardless of any prior experience in the field. Although freshers and some hardly even out of college, interns contribute to the total turnover to the establishment they are associated with. Keeping that in mind, the #PayYourInterns campaign sheds light on the fact that a paid position can motivate interns to be more efficient in the organization and achieve better results.   #PayYourInterns is committed to bridging the gap between education and work experience that exists in the formal workspace. It encourages founders and leaders to invest in paid internships to create a more productive and efficient work environment. #PayYourInterns also aims to bridge the gap between the classes who can afford unpaid internships and the ones who cannot.   Internship at GUC Apart from paying our interns a monthly stipend, GUC also has an Intern of the month programme. Along with presenting our interns with welcome kits and an onboarding token of welcome, Glad U Came prides on including the interns in our weekly staff meetings and brainstorming sessions, as we believe new talent brings in new hope.   Commenting on the launch of #PayYourInterns, Maddie Amrutkar, the Founder and CEO of Glad U Came said, “We want to encourage an ethical way to use interns in the workspace today and believe that the best way to do this is to make every internship a paid internship. This will ensure that students from all economic backgrounds have access to opportunities that help them succeed in the future. If we want to have a competitive workforce in the future, employers need to invest in more paid internships.”   Check out Glad U Came’s Instagram page to get more insights on the #PayYourInterns Campaign https://www.instagram.com/gladucamepr/

    In a first, Tamil Nadu Tourism in association with Times OOH has brought its famed temples and picturesque tourist destinations to the screens of India’s major airports. With travel and tourism gaining momentum, the state tourism brand has taken to airports to target the growing leisure air-travellers across the country.  Times OOH, a prominent OOH player at Airport touchpoints, won the bid for conceptualising & executing Tamil Nadu Tourism’s outdoor advertisement campaign – media planning, media buying and executing high-recall media sites across multiple major airports in India.  While Tamil Nadu is known for its temples and cultural heritage, this campaign aimed to showcase how much more this beautiful state has to offer. Keeping in mind the brand objective of breaking through the clutter, some of the most prominent media sites located in high dwell time areas of the airports were chosen. The holistic campaign was spread across major airports in India where each airport highlighted a different and unique aspect of Tamil Nadu – exquisite temples architecture, rich cultural heritage, pristine beaches to the breath-taking beauty of its hill stations.     Mr Vikram Kapur, Additional Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu Tourism says, “Considered as one of the most popular tourist destinations in India, Tamil Nadu witnesses one of the highest numbers of domestic and foreign tourists every year. Safety of tourist has always been our topmost priority and we leave no stone unturned to ensure that it is met. With the national ‘unlock’ process in place post Coronavirus pandemic and with the opening of various modes of transportation, Tamil Nadu has taken all necessary steps to ensure maximum hygiene and safety. I’m glad to see our hidden gems being showcased to travellers across the major airports of the country. Tamil Nadu has a lot to offer and with air travel picking up we are quite excited to welcome tourists to our enchanting state Tamil Nadu.” Mr T.P. Rajesh, Commissioner of Tamil Nadu Tourism says, “This is a unique initiative where we’ve chosen multi-airport advertising for promoting Tamil Nadu’s various tourist destinations. While developing our campaign strategy, we wanted to reach not only to premium audiences but also target those who frequently travel and would be willing to explore Tamil Nadu’s numerous tourist destinations. Tamil Nadu is most often associated with the magnificent and architecturally marvellous temples. Places of tourist interest like long stretches of beaches, Hill stations at Kodaikanal and Yercaud, UNESCO identified Nilgiri Mountain Railway, various wildlife and bird sanctuaries, one can cherish the mesmerising breath-taking view of sunrise and sunset at Kanniyakumari, Splendid architectural marvel – The palace of Chettinadu and rural areas of Tamil Nadu. There is so much more that can be explored here. We wanted a campaign partner who understands our requirement and can conceptualise, plan and execute our idea, and Times OOH surely did so in an effective way through a collaborative approach.” N. Shekhar, CFO - Times OOH says, “We are happy to be associated with Tamil Nadu Tourism and to provide an opportunity to create a nation-wide awareness for the targeted audience at Airports. It is our constant endeavour to understand our client’s marketing objective and then provide them with appropriate solutions. Unlike any other medium, airport advertising can offer low distraction and high dwell time. With all airports and airline adopting high standards of safety for passengers, air travel is probably one of the safest modes of travel. This allows brands to effectively communicate their message that leaves a long-lasting recall in the minds of the passengers.”  Roshan Rawat, Head of MarCom, Creative and Digital - Times OOH says, “Right from developing the concept and crafting designs to planning media and executing the campaign across all the airports, this was indeed a unique and exciting opportunity presented to us. For this national campaign, each media location was handpicked, be it departures, check-in, security holding area or arrivals – based on where we’d be able to reach maximum passengers and grab their attention. Bringing Tamil Nadu’s tourism destinations on to the airport media is surely a step towards transforming the way marketers communicate with consumers on-the-go.”    Times OOH offers comprehensive media solutions across Airports, Metro and Street furniture in India and Mauritius.
