FROM THE CEO & MD’s DESK

In an exclusive interview with Mr. Nabendu Bhattacharyya, he talks about the year that was & his vision for the year ahead

Looking back at 2014 in terms of business, revenue & client activity: 2014 was a year of the Loksabha Elections; the Out-Of-Home industry saw good spends by political parties. Approximately, Rs. 250-300 crores were the media spends in the outdoor space. Media & Entertainment, Telecom, BFSI, Jewellery, Real Estate and the Retail industries registered a sizeable reduction in their spends.

Towards the last quarter, also known as the festive season; eCommerce was big on OOH across the country. We saw Flipkart, Amazon, Myntra, Quickr & Snapdeal & Olx go big on outdoor to support their multimedia programmes. All of these advertisers ensured that every corner the consumers were urged to log on to their websites. This created a lion share visibility for these brands and immensely pushed brand awareness scores.

Owing to the new stable government in power, by the end of the election season a positive vibe was created amongst people and investment started pouring in from Global & Indian Corporates and OOH saw a 10% increase in turnover from 2013. The 2200 crore industry grew into a 2420 crore industry!

Some of our significant achievements in the year 2014:

Milestone Brandcom turned into a Locally Global Agency in July’2014 and became part of Dentsu Aegis Network – By far the Largest OOH Agency Group in India.

We were conferred with the title of Creative & Media Agency of the Year 2014 at the Exchange4Media OOH Awards. We won a total of 20 metals at the OOH Conference there. We won 9 coveted metals in the Media Abby’s (GoaFest). We also took the Outdoor Asia Awards by storm, winning the maximum number of awards (17)

We launched the Milestone Optimizer – A revolutionary one of its kind proprietary planning tool. The optimizer is an audience measurement eco-system. The intensive web based tool is built on technology and scientific data to help give a more wholesome look on media planning by providing factual data collected on traffic count, consumer behaviour and segmentation. The optimizer currently provides in-depth analysis of data across 10 major cities.

We added numerous new clients to our ever growing roster. Reliance Telecom, United Technologies Corporation, Radio Mirchi, RBS Canara & HSBC Bank, Pepperfry & Wildfraft were some of our noteworthy business wins this year.

Expectations from the year 2015:

2015 will be a big year for Advertising. Industry bodies including stakeholders (Media Owners, Agencies & Clients) are trying to come together and form an association. I believe this will create a Bible for the Out-Of-Home Industry. It will drive a common currency, efficient monitoring & help in successfully implementing the best practices in business. A strong industry association by all the stake holders must be incorporated for the next level of growth in the industry

We all must come together and pledge to achieve a strong OOH association.

OOH INDUSTRY UPDATES Milestone Brandcom helps Fastrack to break stereotypes From ‘Just Be’ to ‘Sorry for What’ Fastrack is on a roll with campaigns that personify the inherent nature of today’s youth. After the ‘Just Be’ campaign, which favoured the notion of being yourself and not caring about what the society thinks, the latest campaign – ‘Sorry for What’ – also embodies a philosophy on similar lines. According to Fastrack, the campaign is about breaking stereotypes and is trying to showcase the unapologetic behaviour of the youth today. The brand wants them to be the way they are, not care about opinions, not be apologetic for what they are doing and ‘Move On. The pan-India campaign covers the top 25 cities will have a 30-day run, from December 15, 2014 to January 15, 2015, showcasing the season’s new watches, helmets, bags and sunglasses.

The size and spends of the campaign remain the same as the ‘Just Be’ campaign, ‘Sorry for What’ creatives lean more towards watches than other accessories. For Fastrack, outdoor holds one-fifth of its total marketing pie, spending about a quarter of that every campaign. The ‘Sorry for What’ campaign,

executed by Milestone Brandcom, is 95 per cent on outdoor, while the remaining 5 per cent is being spent on digital, among others.

Tata Docomo’s new campaign - O.M.3G Non stop 3G across Bangalore Docomo launched a new product in Karnataka in Nov’14. And to promote the same, executed an OOH campaign to create a buzz in the city. The product being promoted here is Nonstop 3G across Bangalore. Milestone executed a 21 days OOH campaign for the brand spread across Karnataka & Bangalore.

To create a WOW effect, one of the sites at ITPL near Hoodi Junction was beautifully lit through LED lights where all internet elements have been highlighted for emphasis. The campaign covered the markets of Hubli, Mysore, Gulbarga, Belgaum, Davengere, Tumkur, Bellary, Manipal, Ramnanagara, Chikkaballapur, Chennapatna, Mandya, Nanjangud, Mangalore and other upcountry towns.

Keeping in mind the TG i.e. 15 -35 years – Youth and office goers; Milestone planning team has strategically covered all TG specific areas, youth hangout paces, and high traffic junctions. A combination of Conventional & unconventional media formats like Hoardings, Gantries, IT parks’ media, CCD, Multiplex branding as well as Bus branding & kiosks have been taken up to make the campaign a hit.

An interesting innovative idea has been executed to showcase the brands ‘Run on Flat’ proposition. A bed of nails was created at the bottom of a billboard over which a tyre was seen moving about, thus conveying that the tyres can sustain extreme impacts. A billboard amidst a high traffic junction was selected for the execution.

Milestone Brandcom creates OOH campaign for Goodyear’s RunOnFlat technology Milestone Brandcom has created an outdoor campaign for Goodyear India on its latest innovation, RunOnFlat technology.

Goodyear India’s new RunOnFlat technology allows cars continued mobility after a puncture or complete loss of tyre pressure. It allows tyres to hold the car for up to 80 km with no air pressure.

An interesting innovative idea has been executed to showcase the brands ‘Run on Flat’ proposition. A bed of nails was created at the bottom of a billboard over which a tyre was seen moving about, thus conveying that the tyres can sustain extreme impacts. A billboard amidst a high traffic junction was selected for the execution.

The selection of the outdoor medium is a strategic one. In urban areas, most people spend a significant amount of time on the road travelling (office to home & back, meetings & so on). Moreover, the category (tyre) also has a very strong connect with the road; hence outdoor as a medium strategically fits the context. Any relevant messaging at this point is the real “moment of truth” (talk of a product/ role of product when the consumer is actually consuming the product).

The messaging has also been crafted considering the fact that one also wants to move ahead & do not want to stay put on the road… and most definitely not for a flat tyre. Although traffic cannot be avoided, what can be avoided is getting stuck due to a flat tyre.
