Anindya Khare, Head of Marketing, ZMCL, added, “Content consumption patterns are evolving and so should marketing strategies. Leveraging the marketing tools such as mailers, print ads, Social Media Push mixed with Budget contests has resulted in maximum ROI for stakeholders’ engagement. Zee Business executed a unique activity where we reached over millions of people in the city with visibility across Mumbai Local trains and streets a day before the Budget to create the Pre-Buzz and also had 2000+ Dabbawalas delivering tagged dabbas to Mumbaikars wearing Zee Business branded caps where the communication was built around keeping them glued to Zee Business as Budget 2023 unfolds. In fact, Zee Business also benefited from the on-air contests and puzzle mixed with social media push as it not only created a pre-buzz for the grand roll out of the show, but also invited an increased number of eyeballs to tune in on Budget Day.”
