spacerIntroduction

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less."
The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master-that's all."
(Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass)

Can you really see through what advertisers and marketers are trying to do? Can you understand the underlying thought process for a piece of communication? It is our belief that a marketing manager should have skills in analyzing communication. Kryptos, a marketing club event, will test your knowledge of marketing and your skills in analyzing communication.
