Airtel involved in cheap marketing stunts!

Just returned home from tuition and saw this board of 'No Parking'. Surprised as I was, I looked closer and saw Airtel 4G ad. They are trolling people. Dad told that they had put it up in the evening and almost everyone in my neighbourhood had removed! Freakin Craptel!

Did not get you really.

they just put a sign in front of houses on the gates in my locality which said 'No Parking' and below it there was Airtel 4G ad.

Its a very common thing in many areas in Chennai, but its not Airtel, but several local business which use similar tactic. In all houses/building gates, we can see some ad or the other - with the no parking message written in one major portion and the ad in the other minor one.
This is a random blog, but as you can see from this image, things are actually as bad as the image shows.

I am assuming this might be the work of an agent.

Mostly for biggers companies that is true. Smaller companies/businesses like the movers and packers one in the blog should be they themself who would have done it.
