    The winners show that distinctive creativeis central to advertising success, falling in the top 15% of ads for distinctiveness in Kantar’s database. In a world flooded with content, brands need to ensure their advertising captures people’s attention.

    Print & Out of Homeads: Spark a response in seconds

    The winners here illustrate the power of creative to deliver an instant impression about the brand. Immediate impact is essential as consumers give just seconds of their time to print and out of home (OOH) ads, in which the content needs to communicate its message or hook the viewer in for longer.

    HSBC evokes an immediate emotional reaction through its winning OOH execution. The shocking statistic that 1 in 45 people living in Birmingham have no address, therefore can’t have a bank account, a job, or a home, helps highlight the work the bank is doing to support the local community.The impact of the message is heightened by delivering it in situ enabled by the medium of OOH.

    The first ever Kantar Creative and Effective awards showcase some of the most impactfuladvertising workfrom around the world,” said Daren Poole, Global Head of Creative at Kantar. “The commonality across allthe winning ads is distinctiveness, and how strongly the brand is integrated into the narrative. Our winners – real consumers’ favourites – take on many forms and employ a range of creative tactics to convey their message; proving there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach that can be employed to achieve great content. Interestingly, many of the winning ads in Kantar’s Creative Effectiveness awards are heart-warming stories or contain humour, in contrast to the broader industry trend, which is to incorporate humour less.” Just over one third (34%) of 2019’s adverts were intentionally light-hearted or funny, compared to more than half (54%) of ads evaluated by Kantar in 2000.

    Poole added. “For content to drive brand impact and deliver ROI, it must be created with the consumer in mind, by understanding what will translate best to the audience, and how. Weaving intelligent and iterative research into the creative development process ensures the strongest ideas, and most effective executions end up seeing the light of day. We know that in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic consumers want advertisers to have authentic empathy and to be useful. Achieving this creatively and sensitively is incredibly difficult, making pre-testing as important as ever”

    ZEE successfully unlocks the biggest content innovation during lockdown with SaReGaMaPa – Ek Desh Ek Raag

    At a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on our collective human experience, music has the power to unite, heal and uplift the mood of the nation. Ever since its inception 25 years ago, India’s longest-running non-fiction franchise – SaReGaMaPa has consistently leveraged the power of music in uplifting the common man – giving him the country’s most definitive platform to showcase his singing talent. It was only befitting, then, that with Sa Re Ga Ma Pa crossing its 25-year milestone in 2020, ZEE leveraged its network strength by way of a truly unique initiative aimed at helping humanity rise above the gloom through the power of music. This industry-first phenomenon ‘Ek Desh Ek Raag’ started on 23rd May with a 25-hour Music Marathon on digital with back-to-back, round-the-clock performances by popular singers across 10 ZEE Facebook pages that captured the vibrancy of the sur, taal and spirit of every Indian sub-culture. The 25-year milestone culminated in a grand televised, shot-from-home fund-raising concert on 24th May across 23 channels of ZEE & Zee Media with performances by the most iconic faces of the show. The LIVE-athon on digital and the concert on TV combined saw 45+ Hours of fresh unique content shot from home, including 600+ performances by 200+ singers in 10 different languages. The invincible power of music has touched multiple hearts with ‘Ek Desh, Ek Raag’, receiving an overwhelming global response, garnering a cumulative reach of 63.1 million viewers across TV in India, and 165 million cumulative reach worldwide for its 10 day campaign on social media platforms.

    Zee TV’s Facebook page alone clocked in a cumulative reach of 58 million users. The resounding success of Ek Desh, Ek Raag can be attributed to the musical franchise's legacy and the collaborative effort of bringing together stalwarts of music from across geographies; from Pandit Jasraj and Jazzy B who performed from USA and Canada respectively to Haricharan and Himesh Reshammiya to Rajesh Krishnan Vijayaprakash and Durnibar Saha representing the many Bharats in India. ‘Ek Desh Ek Raag’ catered to every member of the family with performers ranging from the youngest Li’l champ all of 6 years of age, to the most seasoned veterans like Ronu Majumdar, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Shaan and Kavita Krishnamurthy amongst others.

    Unlocking Tech innovations

    ZEE successfully embraced content and technology solutions, seamlessly executing the music marathon from digital to TV even amidst the lockdown. The beauty of the whole exercise was the collaborative effort that ensured not a single person needed to step out of their homes.

    Over 160 team members across regions worked from home utilizing innovative tech solutions to weave in artist performances not only from across the nation but across the globe, elevating the national collaboration effort to a truly global one.

    An SOP on the Audio & Video production solutions guided the artists and broadcast teams to optimally utilize the ubiquitous mobile, giving the viewers an opportunity to enjoy a live-concert experience within the safety of their homes.

    Work from home setups for the edit systems with state-of-the-art remote access applications further helped the teams in transferring the footage from mobiles to various remote locations without generation loss to be converted to broadcast compatible formats.

    Talking about the success of the Ek Desh Ek Raag initiative, Prathyusha Agarwal, Chief Consumer Officer, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited said, “In curating ‘Ek Desh, Ek Raag,’ the idea was to harness the power of music in transcending regional boundaries, uniting people to uplift the collective mood of the nation, thereby unlocking humanity. The mammoth effort of pulling off the 25-hour music marathon on TV & Digital was a perfect blend of maximising technology, creativity and collaboration. As India’s longest running singing reality show – SaReGaMaPa celebrated this power of music in making a difference to the life of our viewers across the country, supporting COVID-relief initiatives. The phenomenal response received has been deeply gratifying, standing testament to the legacy of our franchise and the strong equity it continues to hold with audiences across the globe. The success of the concert across TV & digital platforms is a true representation of our philosophy of being extraordinary together, and most importantly standing with our viewers in this time of need.”  

    “We are happy that SaReGaMaPa celebrated its milestone year with a special show on Facebook. It’s great to see they brought together artists to leverage the power of Facebook to not only engage people with the music they like, but also raised funds to help those who have been affected by the pandemic,” said Manish Chopra, Director and Head of Partnerships, Facebook India

    ZEEOdisha.tv Reaches New Milestone, Breaks into Top 3 Odia News sites within 6 months of launch

    ZeeOdisha.tv, the digital arm of Odia news channel ZEE Odisha, has broken into the top 3 Odia sites in India by reaching 2 million users in May 2020. The fact that this feat was achieved in mere 6 months of its launch makes it even more laudable. ZEE Odisha is ZEE Media Corporation’s Odia offering and caters to almost 6 million tv viewers.

    ZeeOdisha.tv is a part of Zee Digital, the online arm of ZEE Group, and was launched with an aim to provide niche content in the Odia language. The genres covered range from News, Politics, Crime, Religion and Odia Heritage. The content focus is to go beyond just breaking news and provide in-depth analysis for each story ahead of our competitors. The digital wing resonates perfectly with the brand message of “One Step Ahead”

    Speaking on the occasion, Mr Purushottam Vaishnav, Cluster-2 CEO, ZMCL, said,” With India being a vast potpourri of diverse cultures and traditions, it was necessary to cater to each region in its native language. We recognized this early on and focused extensively on each regional channel, both on Linear television and on the digital front. This feat strengthens our belief that regional is the way for growth in India.”

    Mr Rohit Chadda, CEO – Digital Publishing, Zee Group said, “It is overwhelming to see the trust and acceptance amongst the users towards our younger digital platforms. Odia is among the top vernacular markets with respect to digital news. Our digital first approach has led us to emerge as market leaders in the Odia market leaving behind our competitors who have been around much longer than us. Backed by our data and technology driven newsrooms, we are confident to reach new heights and further our growth.”

    For ZEE Digital, this is another achievement in a span of few days. Recently ZeeHindustan.in, the digital news platform of the national news channel ZEE Hindustan crossed 10 million monthly active users within only 6 months of its commercial launch. These are a testament to the success of ZEE Digital as it adds new set of audiences daily from different demographics.

    Having breached the top 3 category, the next milestone for ZeeOdisha.tv would be to become the top ranked and the most trusted Odia website in India.
