Isobar India, the digital agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, collaborated with The Forum for Marketing Education to conduct a one-day workshop for professors from top B-schools of Mumbai such as NMIMS, K J Somaiya, Durgadevi Saraf Institute of Management Studies, Rizvi Institute of Management and Research and Rustomjee Business School.

The agenda of the workshop was to bring the gentry up-to-speed on what's driving digital today.

Today, the marketing and communication industry is heading towards a massive paradigm shift; and post-graduation education needs to be compatible with the contemporary demand. Hence, in an attempt to keep pace and become digitally ready, the B-school principals and professors at the workshop displayed utmost excitement and eagerness to adapt to this new medium.
