    IBS 2024: Unravelling the CTV puzzle

    Mumbai: The second edition of the Indian Brand Summit 2024, held in Mumbai, witnessed insightful discussions on how addressable advertising is transforming personalised marketing, the role of data in driving success, and the evolving landscape of OTT platforms and sports marketing. The event also explored the complexities of CTV and highlighted the rise of local brands to national prominence.

    One of the key sessions, titled “Unravelling the CTV Puzzle,” explored the rapid transformation of content consumption and the rise of connected TV (CTV). Chaired by Indian Television.com group founder, chairman & editor-in-chief Anil NM Wanvari, the panel featured Sujay Ray, L’Oréal India’s head – digital & media professional products division, Ashutosh Sinha, NDTV’s VP – distribution, and Nitin Burman, aha’s head – revenue and monetisation.

    Sujay Ray spoke about the significant technological shift over the last few years, marked by two waves—pre and post Jio, and pre and post COVID. “The first wave saw consumption move from linear and analog formats to digital,” Ray explained. The second wave further emphasized personalized content consumption, starting on smaller screens and gradually moving to larger ones. Ray added that legacy platforms have adapted to these changes, becoming more consumer-centric: “Legacy platforms have pivoted themselves, remaining cognizant of consumers’ evolving choices.”

    Nitin Burman highlighted how affordability and accessibility have driven CTV adoption, with smart TVs becoming more affordable, now available for as low as ₹7,000. He noted that this shift has made CTVs more accessible to both urban and rural markets. “People are switching from handheld devices to bigger connected TV screens for a more immersive experience,” Burman said, adding that this has led to higher revenue for platforms as audiences are willing to pay for better content and viewing experiences.

    Ashutosh Sinha pointed out how connected TV offers new opportunities to reach audiences and make previously unavailable content accessible. “Connected TV allows us to offer content that wasn’t available in traditional formats, expanding our reach to new audiences,” he remarked.

    The session shed light on how CTV is reshaping the media landscape, driven by technological advancements, shifting consumer preferences, and increasing affordability. As content consumption continues to evolve, connected TV is positioned to play a central role in the future of media.
     

  • IBS 2024: The Power of data, is it enough?

    IBS 2024: The Power of data, is it enough?

    Mumbai: The panel at IBS 2024 engaged in a thought-provoking dialogue on the evolving role of data in advertising, specifically questioning whether the sheer volume of data available today is sufficient for driving effective Return on Investment (RoI) in marketing campaigns. It also assessed if over-reliance on data and programmatic approaches might be overshadowing the need for value-driven strategies and calculated risks.

    The session was chaired by Ipsos India, senior client director, Ananya Roy Mathur followed by panelists: Blue Star India head – Digital Initiatives, Abhishek Kumar, dentsu India senior vice president – Product & Technology, Abhinay Bhasin, NitiAayog chief mentor Kushal Sanghvi and Quora head of marketing, APAC and EMEA, Neha Chimbulkar.

    Ananya asked Kushal on some of the most significant initiatives undertaken by the government years ago to which he says was the introduction of a single identity system, exemplified by the Aadhaar card. “With approximately 943 million Aadhaar cards issued, it serves as a unique identity for citizens, offering a comprehensive dataset that surpasses what any company, including Google or Facebook, possesses regarding consumer behavior. Today, almost everything is linked to this identity.”

    He also delved on initiatives like UPI (Unified Payments Interface), which have revolutionized transactions by providing a seamless payment platform. “Just a decade ago, it would have been unimaginable to have such a unified channel. Today, numerous platforms like Paytm and PhonePe enable marketers to effectively engage with audiences. The government’s approach emphasizes using data to create a holistic environment, rather than merely monetizing it.”

    Abhinay highlighted the behavior of the audiences and how it is evolving over the years. “Discovering audiences today involves understanding how behavior is evolving and integrating those insights into marketing strategies. Keeping a pulse on these changes is crucial for developing effective creative. The abundance of data we now have—processed at an unprecedented scale—provides invaluable signals from various sources, such as video viewership and behavioral patterns on platforms like Facebook and Google. This wealth of information shapes our understanding of consumers, directly informing the creative process and ensuring we reach the right addressable audiences effectively,” says Abhinay.

    Neha lastly gave insight more on to the analytical tools available. “The key lies in combining strategy with the available analytical tools. Once you clearly define your objectives, it becomes easier to identify the relevant metrics and data points necessary for achieving those goals. Despite the vast amount of data at our disposal, if we don’t focus on selling products or services that truly matter to us, we risk deflection and losing sight of ROI. In today’s marketing landscape, being ROI-driven is essential,” concludes Neha. 

  • IBS 2024: Addressable advertising – Fast forward for platforms, brands & advertisers

    IBS 2024: Addressable advertising – Fast forward for platforms, brands & advertisers

    Mumbai: Reaching the right audience has always been a key challenge in marketing. Addressable advertising is changing that, offering a way to connect businesses with consumers more directly and effectively. Traditional advertising often spreads resources too thinly, failing to engage the intended audience. Through data and technology, addressable advertising targets specific audience segments, making marketing campaigns more effective and enhancing customer experience. The panel discussed addressable advertising, how it works, its benefits for marketers and consumers, and its role in transforming marketing and building experiences that matter.

    At India Brand Summit 2024, held in Mumbai, the session was moderated by Good Ants Media founder & CEO Parul Menghani and the speakers were Kotak Life EVP & head of digital business unit, Prasad Pimple, Tata Communications global head – Digital, Experiential & Content Marketing, Saugata Bagchi, and Donear Group, AVP Group Brand Marketing, Aakash Mishra.

    Parul kicked off the session by asking Saugata the challenges that needs to be addressed in addressable advertising to which he said, “Addressable advertising and programmatic advertising share some similarities but also have distinct differences. Addressable advertising focuses on delivering targeted communication across various multimedia channels, while programmatic advertising showcasing the automated buying and selling of ad space. Though they often work together, addressable advertising encompasses a broader range of media, including connected TV and out-of-home (OOH), which programmatic may not always target depending on the campaign.”

    He further delved into the global and local marketing efforts, as it is essential to consider cultural nuances; strategies that succeed in India may fail in Spain, and vice versa. Language barriers also play a crucial role; contextualization goes beyond simple translation to include understanding and respecting cultural sensitivities. Additionally, regulatory differences can impact marketing strategies; for instance, certain advertising approaches might be more permissible in one country than another.

    Moving on, Prasad said, “f your goal is to connect with your audience rather than just focusing on metrics like website visits, you may miss out on immediate customer engagement. Therefore, if your objective isn’t just about these numbers, you should consider top-of-funnel metrics like awareness and consideration, which are also measurable. Ultimately, the focus should always be on the overarching goal of the brand. At the end of the day, everyone is concerned with return on investment. With the rise of digital strategies, tracking this becomes more accessible.

    Aakash emphasised on how effective targeted or addressable advertising isn’t only about placement; it’s also about the content of the message. “I’ve been part of this organization for nearly a year, and it’s easy for competitors to hire a brand ambassador. For example, why focus on celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan or Ranbir Kapoor endorsing products? They command millions, but we need to rethink our approach,” says Mishra.

    The panelists and Parul brought a delightful energy to the discussion on addressable advertising. Each panelist contributed unique perspectives, sparking thought-provoking dialogues that illuminated the evolving landscape of advertising. Parul skillfully guided the conversation, ensuring that all voices were heard and that the discussion remained informative.

  • Connected TV sparks advertising revolution, Nikhil Kumar on the rise of connected TVs in India

    Connected TV sparks advertising revolution, Nikhil Kumar on the rise of connected TVs in India

    Mumbai: The India Digital Brand Fest 2024, held on 30 August at Hotel Pride Plaza in Aerocity, New Delhi, was a pivotal event bringing together brand marketers, advertising and digital professionals, and CMOs under one roof. The festival illuminated critical trends in digital marketing, mobile strategies, and programmatic advertising, reflecting the rapid evolution of the industry.

    Amidst a landscape that is increasingly shaped by technological advancements, Connected TV (CTV) emerged as a central theme of the event.

    Diving into this, Indian Television dot com’s founder, chairman, and editor-in-chief Anil NM Wanwari, joined mediasmart’s chief growth officer, Nikhil Kumar, for a discussion centering around the transformational impact of CTV on the advertising ecosystem in India.

    Hard sell to the essential tool:

    Kumar shared his journey of championing CTV, a concept that was initially met with skepticism. “When we introduced CTV to the Indian advertisers during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was a tough sell. Few brands saw the potential,” Kumar recalled. However, as he passionately explained, the landscape has drastically changed. Today, CTV is not just relevant—it’s crucial for any brand in today’s modern advertising. He emphasised that CTV’s power lies in its ability to democratise advertising, allowing even small-town brands to share the spotlight with major players.

    Empowering the underdogs:

    One of Kumar’s most compelling anecdotes highlighted how CTV is levelling the playing field for advertisers from towns beyond metro cities. He recounted a moment when a small-scale pesticide company’s founder, located in tier two or tier three town, was overjoyed to see his ad appear on television via an OTT platform. This, Kumar explained, is the magic of CTV—it allows brands that never imagined themselves on the big screen to reach audiences they couldn’t have before.

    Need for creative evolution:

    Wanwari pointed out a key challenge: many advertisers are not fully leveraging the potential of CTV. He noted that viewers often see the same ad repeatedly, leading to viewer fatigue. Kumar agreed, stressing the importance of dynamic creative optimisation (DCO) in addressing this issue. By tailoring ads based on user behaviour and exposure, brands can avoid bombarding viewers with the same content, instead offering a more engaging and personalised experience.

    Innovations driving CTV:

    Kumar highlighted several innovations that are pushing the CTV space forward. He spoke about mediasmart’s introduction of Creative Sync, a tool that enhances traditional ads by making them more interactive and engaging. For instance, a Coca-Cola ad could feature a bottle filling up on-screen, creating a thirst-quenching effect that’s impossible to ignore. This level of creativity, combined with the strategic use of QR codes and other interactive elements, is transforming how advertisers connect with their audiences.

    Unified advertising experience:

    As the conversation drew to a close, Kumar discussed the importance of a unified advertising approach. He pointed out that today’s consumers interact with multiple screens throughout their day—from their mobile phones to CTVs to digital out-of-home screens in places like elevators. The key is not to bombard the user with the same ad on every screen but to create a seamless, multi-screen experience that builds brand recall without overwhelming the viewer.

    Future of CTV:

    Kumar is optimistic about the future of CTV in India, especially with major players like Jio entering the space. He sees CTV not just as an alternative to traditional TV but as a powerful tool that can complement and enhance other forms of digital advertising. With the right strategies, he believes CTV will continue to grow and evolve, offering brands new and exciting ways to engage with their audiences.

    In conclusion, Nikhil Kumar’s insights paint a vivid picture of a rapidly evolving advertising landscape, where connected TV is no longer just a concept but a vital component of any forward-thinking brand’s strategy. As Kumar succinctly put it, “The future of advertising is not about where your ad is shown; it’s about who sees it and how they engage with it.”
