    Building Digital Communities Through Sincerity: The NoDee Unfiltered Journey

    MUMBAI: From Nomaan Unfiltered to NoDee Unfiltered, this unique YouTube channel has stepped up its game by offering viewers unbiased, unfiltered content that leaves an impression.

    With their sincere yet offbeat approach to content, No Dee Unfiltered aims to build a community of like-minded people who are looking for honest reviews and opinions.

    From Nomaan Unfiltered to NoDee Unfiltered: Why the Change

    Nomaan Unfiltered was geared toward delivering content that is bias-free, candid, and direct. NoDee Unfiltered, i.e., a different name but the same channel, took this approach and gave it a revamp.

    But this is not just a revamp or a rebranding. Instead, it is a call for all who enjoy a no-holds-barred commentary to be a part of their journey.

    Today, the Channel, which started its journey by making press conference-based parodies for cricket to highlight the gaps between players and fans, has expanded to a broad range of topics, like movie reviews and opinions on all topics that revolve around daily life.

    Mapping the Market: NoDee Unfiltered’s Target Audience

    Trying to learn what the YouTube audience prize, NoDee Unfiltered found a gaping hole – a lack of channels that are honest in their opinion and content. With a huge amount of subscription-driven and sponsored content, people come across biased content more times than they care to admit or view.

    By expanding their content beyond cricket, NoDee Unfiltered is set to create a larger audience. These people will not just be those who love cricket and need some sharp insights, but people from all walks of life who want to know more.

    Whether it is cricket or a movie review, what a celebrity said to how something can impact you, NoDee Unfiltered offers raw commentary that speaks to the audience instead of the polished content that exists just for entertainment.

    The NoDee Unfiltered Journey: Leveraging the Market Through Experience

    NoDee Unfiltered built its primary listener base with cricket enthusiasts. They provided clear, crisp, and sharp insights on how a match is going to unfold, predicting play-by-plays, and learning what is the true meaning hidden behind a celeb’s words.

    Where other influencers and channels delivered mainstream content, they have set themselves apart with their knowledge, creativity, honesty, and out of the box topics. This approach has helped them create a loyal following that values their input and loves the real-time community experience they are trying to build.

    Today, NoDee Unfiltered has expanded its scope. They are no longer just about cricket commentary and insights. Sure, they still do that, but they are also creatives who challenge the norm, questioning trends, narratives, and creators and calling out the half-truths of mainstream digital content.

    Making an Impact: Top Topics Delivered by NoDee Unfiltered

    NoDee Unfiltered is gearing up to both take the market by storm and build a community loyal to them. Most of their content revolves around cricket, spanning formats and leagues like IPL, WPL, Test Matches, ODIs, T20s, and more.

    A noteworthy and memorable event for NoDee Unfiltered was when they were able to predict a ball-by-ball of a WPL match with surprising accuracy.

    In recent times, NoDee Unfiltered has not shied away from any topic. To garner attention and a bigger audience, they have presented the following: 
    ●    Honest and Witty Teaser Reactions for Upcoming Movies. 
    ●    Movie reviews for both popular and underrated productions. 
    ●    Live Streams of the Cricket matches. 
    ●    Live Streams of WWE matches. 
    ●    Watchalongs for live matches. 
    ●    Inputs on Popular Series and Game Shows. 
    ●    Shorts on social issues with honest opinions. 
    ●    Unfiltered opinions on what’s happening.

    This is a clear show of how they are expanding beyond their usual domain, i.e., cricket and live streams. Further, NoDee Unfiltered presents only true, honest opinions, offering not just entertainment value but unbiased opinions with courage and clarity.

    The Long-Term Plan: A Connected, Loyal Audience

    The two prongs of NoDee Unfiltered, Nomaan and Desai Bhai, are committed to creating honest content that resonates with people. By striking a balance between comedy and honest, unfiltered opinion, the NoDee Unfiltered team approaches every topic and content with raw bravery that is a breath of fresh air.

    They care less for sponsorships and more about presenting the truth to their audience, which is where they deviate from the usual mainstream content creators. Instead of making biased content, which can generate revenue and new sponsorships, they prefer making content that their audience can relate to.

    And what’s more, they experiment with formats to learn what viewers love and want to see more. This confidence and flexibility are rapidly making them the top choice among their viewers.

    The NoDee Unfiltered Promise

    Honest, unbiased commentary with zero hidden promotions and half-truths is what NoDee Unfiltered revolves around. They experiment with different formats to learn what people like best and relate to most. Their fearless approach and sharp insights are why people value their opinion.

    With a commitment to creating not just a channel but a movement, NoDee Unfiltered makes people laugh but also think. Just like the creators, NoDee Unfiltered goes beyond simple, empty entertainment, creating a unique channel that is ready to tackle every topic.

    Thus, it is not just a channel ready to experiment, but one prepared to stay unfiltered in the interests of its audience. 
     

  • Star Sports pockets Rs 150+ crore in sponsorship for India – SA cricket series

    Star Sports pockets Rs 150+ crore in sponsorship for India – SA cricket series

    MUMBAI: Star India president – sports Nitin Kukreja is a happy man. With three co-presenting sponsors and seven associate sponsors on board for the India – South Africa cricket series, Star Sports has so far pocketed more than Rs 150 crore in sponsorships, even as more deals are being negotiated.

    Beginning 2 October, the Mahatma Gandhi – Nelson Mandela series will have three T20s, five ODIs and four Test matches, which will be played over a span of two months. This in turn offers the channel a huge inventory to generate revenue.

    A source close to the development informs Indiantelevision.com that the three co-presenting sponsors for the series namely PayTM, Raymond and Lava have paid approximately Rs 20 crore each. On the other hand, the seven associate sponsors – Maruti Suzuki, Airtel, Idea, Intex Led TV, Hero, Pernod, and OLX have shelled out approximately Rs 13 crore each, taking the total amount that Star India has earned in sponsorship to Rs 151 crore. Moreover, the broadcaster is in final stages of negotiations with a few more brands for the India – South Africa series.

    In terms of ad rates, the 10 second slot during T-20 matches has been priced between Rs 2.5 – 3 lakhs. ODIs and Tests have been priced at Rs 1 lakh and Rs 70 thousand respectively, the source adds.

    This is PayTM’s first series in the four years title sponsor deal, which it earned by outbidding Micromax. PayTM sealed the deal for Rs 203.28 crore, which is to be paid over the four year term. Maxus in association with GroupM ESP properties was instrumental in cracking the deal for PayTM.

    Speaking to Indiantelevision.com, Maxus managing partner Navin Khemka says, “We could not have asked for a better series to kickstart the deal. It’s bang in the middle of the festive season, a period where brands spend maximum. The success or failure of the cricket series will be decided by the quality of cricket played on the field.”

    CAA Kwan COO Indranil Das Blah is of the opinion that the series will spell success for BCCI and broadcaster Star Sports. “India VS South Africa is a marquee contest and hence advertisers and sponsors will show interest in the initial stages but the annual fate will depend on the performance. The festive season is when brands unveil a lot of new launches, so timing-wise, it cannot be better,” he says.

    Another media planner with condition of anonymity adds, “To me, the Rs 20 crore figure seems inflated. I think Rs 13 – 14 crore is what they are getting and that’s a good bet. If the series starts well, the numbers will be delightful for Star. The ad rates are realistic and can go much higher for last moment entrants if the series gets poised.”

    KyaZoonga sells all tickets for Sachins match within 15 hours

    MUMBAI: Within 15 hours Kyzoonga.com, the official online ticketing partner for Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) 2nd India vs West Indies Test match, which will also pull down the curtains on Sachin Tendulkar’s illustrious international Test career, sold all the allotted tickets for the match.

    Apparently, the site had crashed within minutes of opening sales on Monday because of heavy online traffic. The site witnessed close to 20 million hits in the first hour itself. The website remained clogged till very late as all the cricketing fans wanted to book a ticket for the over-hyped match. According to reports, the site had only 6,000 tickets for sale for the general public for the master blaster’s last match.

    However, the objective of the organisers was to ensure wider reach and also that no person was allotted more than two tickets.

    The buyers who have been successful in booking tickets can start collecting their tickets now from the Mumbai Hockey Association counters, next to Wankhede Stadium. Customers are required to get the validation documents as outlined on the site and on their confirmation page.

    The buyers, who couldn’t book the tickets successfully but have seen a balance deduction, will be refunded soon.
