Performics.Resultrix powers up Hotstar's election coverage with dynamic tech

Performics.Resultrix, the end-to-end digital solutions agency, has powered up the recent Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh state election display campaigns for Hotstar with dynamic and revolutionary tech.

The display ads featured buzzy, real-time updates from the recent state elections, drawing in viewers seamlessly to the live telecast on Hotstar. The ads used cutting edge Dynamic Creative Optimisation (DCO) technology from HockeyCurve.

Machine learning was used to identify the audiences, and the ads were delivered programmatically, cutting short the manpower costs. Analytics played a big role in identifying viewer profiles and interest, leading to a phenomenal increase in time spent on Hotstar on December 18 (Results Day), despite continuous coverage on all leading news channels.

The ads were colourful, lively and engaging, built up with a custom feed of four unique events. These events helped identify developments or scenarios that merited being featured in the ads. Each banner was created real-time based on the live election scenario playing out and the user analytics data.

The election seat count was presented moment by moment.  The ads captured the momentum of the State Elections by putting out interesting updates such as ‘BJP now leads in 29 constituencies’ and  ‘Is the BJP inching towards a historic victory?’, holding the interest of the viewer and causing him to compulsively click on the link to the live coverage on Hotstar.
