For somebody who has been consulting, as well as conducting workshops for corporate conglomerates and media houses for a long time now, it is rare to see Bejoy Suri , Co-founder, 9.9 School of Convergence excited about delivering a media marketing course. Yet he is completely taken in by the opportunity of interacting with the media managers and media marketers of Bhutan, in the 20-day programme being conducted by 9.9 School of Convergence in conjunction with Bhutan Media Foundation.

"In a way, teaching media marketing in Bhutan is a dream assignment. There is no hyper-fragmentation of media vehicles like there is in India. There is no pressure on the bottom-line of the Bhutanese media companies, because they are not competing for eyeballs as yet. Therefore this programme organised by the Bhutan Media Foundation and delivered by the School of Convergence has the potential to inculcate a sense of responsible media marketing practices in Bhutan. In marketing, a lot depends on your personal judgment and the choices you make. If your value system is right you will make the right choices. You will not just sell on the premise that "anything that bleeds, sells". It is this opportunity of presenting the right set of valuesto the media managers and marketers of Bhutan, which has driven me to re-design my classroom content especially for this programme."
