Zee Marathi unveils new identity

Delhi: The words Mi Marathi Zee Marathi aim to evoke a deep emotional connection with Marathi viewers. This bond is to be celebrated through the channel's new look, which embodies a representation of Maharashtrian traditions with a focus on growth and transformation. 

The refreshed packaging aims to honour Marathi heritage through the Sonchafa flower.

Siju Prabhakaran, Chief Cluster Officer for South and West at ZEE Entertainment Enterprises, shared his enthusiasm for the channel's refreshed look. He expressed, “Zee Marathi has garnered significant admiration over the past two decades among the viewers, resonating deeply with their socio-cultural values and portraying stories that mirror their everyday experiences. Our fresh narratives and characters are tailored to connect with the modern woman, who is embracing a new perspective, broadening her horizons, and finding a deeper sense of purpose. This essence is beautifully encapsulated in the new look of the channel.”

The Chief Content Officer, of Zee Marathi and Zee Kannada, Raghavendra Hunsur, expressed, “Our commitment to ground-breaking content shines through our recent successes. 'Jau Bai Gavat' marked a pioneering move into the Marathi space, resonating deeply with viewers. By strategically scheduling 7 days of original fiction during IPL, we not only boosted viewership but also stood out in the industry. Our prime-time content line-up refresh has kicked off with 4 launches in FY24- Q4 - 'Paaru', 'Shiva', 'Navri Mile Hitler La', and 'Punha Kartavya Aahe' and they have received great buzz and audience response. On the back of the refresh, we are excited to announce 2 more new shows 'Lakhat Ek Amcha Dada' and 'Drama Juniors', promising a fresh and diverse viewing experience."

V.R. Hema, Chief Channel Officer, Zee Marathi, added, “To fortify consumer love, we initiated a content transformation, delivering on our promises to viewers before reinforcing the shift with our brand's refreshed look. Content depth and execution excellence drive our engagement strategy, guiding our journey to growth. As the sole channel in MGEC to increase GRPs and market share despite the peak cricket season challenge, we take pride in our new line-up's appeal. The channel's refreshed appearance reflects our commitment to delivering innovative, aesthetically pleasing content, fostering a deep connection with viewers, and embodying the spirit of 'Mi Marathi, Zee Marathi'."
