As a content creator and marketer, my journey started in 2016 when I began creating short comedy videos for Instagram. While my early efforts didn’t achieve the viral success I hoped for, these initial experiments set the foundation for a deeper exploration into video content and advertising. Over time, I realized that creating videos wasn't just about making people laugh — it was a research project in itself, a way to study how to captivate attention, optimize viewer retention, and ultimately, market products and services through storytelling. In 2020, I pivoted towards TikTok during the global lockdown, which marked a turning point. My experiment with life hacks quickly gained traction, with my first video reaching half a million views. By the time I had posted 25 videos, I had amassed over 100,000 followers. By staying true to a simple concept, I was able to reach millions of viewers. The format was clear: Hook the viewer within the first few seconds with a statement like "I've always wanted to try this".
Show the hack in action.
Deliver results in a short, snappy video format. Soon, I had over a million followers, and my videos consistently received over a billion views. Around this time, I also began creating content on YouTube, which further expanded my audience. This was when I began receiving offers from brands to incorporate advertising into my content. This marked the beginning of my journey into advertising integrations that aligned with my research into attention management. In this article, I'd like to share some of my favorite case studies from brand integrations that succeeded. Each one required careful thought, creativity, and experience to make the right decisions and achieve the desired results. Without years of trial and error, pulling off these campaigns would have been nearly impossible. Xiaomi Phone Advertisement: Using Voice to Stand Out One of the more interesting projects I worked on was promoting Xiaomi's new phone. Usually, unboxing videos — especially for less popular models — don’t always grab attention without something special. I knew I had to do things differently this time. Instead of my usual no-speech style, I decided to add voice narration for the first time. This caught people off guard since they hadn’t heard me talk in videos before, which made them curious. As a result, the video got over 13 million views. This wasn’t just luck — it was about understanding how to grab attention in the first few seconds and keep people watching. Adele's "Oh My God": Subtle Product Placement Promoting Adele’s new track “Oh My God” was another fun challenge. The idea was to bring attention to the song without making it too obvious. So, I used one of my go-to formats — testing ideas from the internet — but added her track as the background music. This subtle move worked really well because it blended naturally with the content and didn’t feel forced. It helped the video get great engagement, all while pushing the track to a wider audience. It’s a simple idea, but it proves that with a bit of creativity, you can turn product placement into something that feels more like part of the story. KumoSpace: Promoting a Complex Product with Simplicity KumoSpace, a Zoom alternative with cool entertainment features, was tricky to promote. It’s hard to explain a platform like that in a short video. So I had to think of a way to keep people watching without overwhelming them with information. The solution? I used one of their features — the ability to share YouTube videos — and showed a viral clip with over 100 million views. This helped grab attention right from the start, and once people were hooked, I introduced KumoSpace. The video performed well because it didn’t feel like an ad—it felt like content people wanted to watch. Conclusion: The Key to Successful Advertising Through thousands of videos and countless advertising integrations, I've learned that the key to success in both blogging and traditional marketing lies in understanding how to retain audience attention. Whether through humor, unexpected twists, or innovative formats, the first 5-10 seconds are crucial. If viewers stay until the end, the likelihood of success skyrockets. For those in the advertising space, I encourage you to think outside the box. Humor, alternative approaches, and a focus on engagement rather than just views or likes can transform any video into a powerful marketing tool. As my passion for marketing has only grown, I have set a new goal for myself: to open my own media agency and work on advertising projects worldwide. I’m especially excited about the opportunity to work with the Asian market, where I believe there is incredible potential for creative campaigns. I’m curious, what kinds of advertising — whether it’s traditional or digital — really grab your attention? Do you have any favorite ads that you think nailed it, or maybe ones that blew your mind with their creativity? I’d love to hear about any campaigns that stood out to you, whether it’s because they were funny, clever, or just really well executed. Drop your thoughts in the comments — I’m always looking for fresh ideas and inspiration!

Nowadays, applications are adapting microservices like never before with a focus on making them distributed and cloud-agnostic. This has increased the need for more organized testing. All staged and non-production features must be rigorously tested to deliver efficient and reliable service. Unfortunately, testing currently happens only at a certain point in the development life cycle. To improve the end user's experience of the services in distributed cloud clusters, one needs a framework to implement unit testing during all phases of the application lifecycle. The above statement is especially true for developing containerized applications. When distribution and load sharing comes into the picture, DevOps teams have to design and develop strategies and implement the same through configurations. Without a doubt, is one of the top players in the container orchestration platforms game. Fortune 500 and major IT leaders are leveraging the benefits of Kubernetes in their business use cases. Kubernetes Many things can go wrong when implementing a complex system (mainly configurations). Two out of ten implementations end up with misconfiguration, and teams have to perform code evaluation and reviews to correct the misconfigurations. This issue contributes heavily to delayed code delivery with missed SLAs and an impact on deadlines. Let's first understand what methods are available in Kubernetes for testing. Testing Methods for K8s Kubernetes is an advanced platform with a diverse range of tools and components. As the platform is evolving, these components are being developed and supported outside Kubernetes. Usually, multiple services are involved in Kubernetes applications, each running in their container. Therefore, developing and debugging these services on a remote K8s cluster can pose challenges at times and require you to use ssh to debug. Using ssh in the remote cluster is easy, but running scripts and test cases for testing can be challenging due to many factors, like unformatted output, error handling, documenting the cause and fix, and many more. Kubernetes can be easily tested and debugged in the following ways:** ** : offers easy custom tools to locally debug services while services are proxying to a remote cluster. Locally with Telepresence Telepresence : Kubetest2 is the Kubernetes framework for launching and running end-to-end tests. The Kubernetes end-to-end framework supports tests and assertions written in Go Language that rely on for managing tests and for assertions. End-to-End with Kubetest2 & Go Ginkgo Gomega : Kubernetes supports many third-party drivers that support testing functionalities. One of these third-party drivers is Kubescape. Third-Party Drivers Open Source Option: Kubescape __ __is an open-source tool for K8, providing risk analysis, security compliance, an RBAC visualizer, and image vulnerabilities scanning under one umbrella. Kubescape As testing is a crucial part of any development activity, dynamic execution of the test cases can save a lot of time and resources. Kubespace is one such tool that offers exceptional services to get the job done with minimal effort. Kubescape retrieves the K8 objects of the ARMO API server and scans them by running a set of predefined scripts that meet the best practices recommendations. Then, it compares how well your Kubernetes configuration meets these best practices, recommends solutions based on the misconfigurations, and calculates a risk score instantly by showing risk trends over time. The tool is flexible enough to print to the console in a friendly manner by default and extracts results in JSON format. Kubescape is cloud-agnostic, and for now, it is available in both AWS and GCP. Due to its simplicity and ease of use, I will be using to test Kubescape. GCP Prerequisites Setup the Google Kubernetes Engine ( ) and cloud shell. GKE Install Kubescape in Google Shell. Setup Google storage and create a bucket. Step 1 is straightforward to set up if you follow the GCP documentation. Let's install Kubescape in our Google Cloud Shell. <script src="https://gist.github.com/jayachandra27/a7174abd35ae6891791acc39ffa44b29.js"></script> https://gist.github.com/jayachandra27/a7174abd35ae6891791acc39ffa44b29.js curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/armosec/kubescape/master/install.sh | /bin/bash Now, it's time to test our configurations with the tool. Demo This demo uses a sample YAML file to scan and perform tests and provide a high-level overview of what is happening under the hood. Without further ado, let's use gsutils and bring our data into the cloud shell for execution.** ** gsutils cp path_to_your_bucket foldername_in_cloud_storage our sample YAML file looks like this: version: "3"

services:

  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus:v2.8.1
    volumes:
      - ./prometheus/entrypoint.sh:/bin/prometheus-entrypoint.sh
      - ../prometheus/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
    user: root
    entrypoint:
      - /bin/sh
      - /bin/prometheus-entrypoint.sh
      - --config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
      - --storage.tsdb.path=/prometheus
      - --web.console.libraries=/usr/share/prometheus/console_libraries
      - --web.console.templates=/usr/share/prometheus/consoles
    ports: ["9090:9090"]
    networks: ["sandbox"]

  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana:6.0.2
    volumes: ["../grafana/plugins/cinnamon-prometheus-app:/var/lib/grafana/plugins/cinnamon-prometheus-app"]
    ports: ["3000:3000"]
    networks: ["sandbox"]
    depends_on: ["prometheus"]

networks:

  sandbox:
    driver: bridge Once the configuration is in place, we can run the Kubescape scan framework against the file to scan and detect misconfigurations for us. The tool provides a detailed description and overview of what checks have been performed, what was the status of the check, and what needs to be done to prevent or improve the overall configurations. In the end, we get a detailed, user-friendly output in a tabular format with the status and stats of our checks. Conclusion Kubernetes is an advanced and complex orchestration platform with a lot of abstractions. Most testers are not aware of all these abstractions, yet they test the end product/service. K8s docs provide a comprehensive set of best practices that you can refer to and implement based on your use case. But why reinvent the wheel when you can use the existing one with modern and easy-to-use controls. Kubescape and other third-party connectors aim to bridge this gap for testers by making use of best practices to test against the configurations and provide recommendations to improve the overall quality. I hope this post was informational and you learned something new. Thanks! Cover Photo by on Susanna Marsiglia Unsplash
