Speaking on the value of IPL advertising on digital, Jaya Jamrani, CMO, Castrol India, said “Our segments are very varied but IPL on digital has allowed me to be able to focus and drive the right content to the right audience through targeted marketing. The level of personalization and the targeting that you can achieve is amazing.”
“It’s great consumer experience that’s adding a lot more numbers. Forget Hindi and English, which is quite common, but there’s Bhojpuri and even Punjabi, which are actually giving a lot more numbers. From a language perspective, it’s great immersive stuff for marketers,” said Vishal Chinchankar, CEO, Madison Digital.
Sudhir Shukla, COO – Hypermarkets, More Retail added, “The ability to personalize the campaign at scale is what is phenomenal about IPL on digital. Of course, there are great numbers, but the quality of the impact is absolutely fantastic. On digital we’ve seen the concurrency numbers, now concurrency numbers go up when a certain batsman comes in to bat, match after match. And the ability to make the most of such a moment is phenomenal.”
