Transcript of Targeted digital ads using data points
Clearly, digital marketing is very important for brands
And clearly brands are able to easily deliver one message to many people
Such as…
How do we ensure that spillover is minimized and we reach as specific an audience as possible?
Rather, how can we be more relevant to users?
For this, let us consider new-age internet.
It’s all about convenience
And many times, these websites have a lot of information about us – much of which is voluntarily input
This is where we can use user data points
Targeting users by specific points on different websites will be more effective
Data points: information that a user inputs on an app or website.
It could be anything – from name, to location to the various transactions on the app
Let’s say Baskin Robbins wants to advertise about it’s newly opened shop in Parel

Advantages๑ For the brand – More relevant audience, leading to better CTRs
๑ For the app / website – Another means to generate revenue, potentially
๑ And for the user – More relevant ads
๑ For the agency – a chance to be creative with targeting, will throw us in better light from a strategic perspective
Possible hurdles on the way๑ Misuse of information (For eg. Insurance companies charging premiums
based on data about user lifestyle)
๑ Difficulty in segregating the relevant data from non-relevant data
๑ Increase in costs as well as the execution time of the campaign for the brand
What this means for Indigo Consulting
๑ This is basically to start a new way of thinking within the agency
๑ Think of such media innovations while ideating for pitches / campaigns for clients (and then taken forward depending on how strong the idea is and feasibility)
๑ When we come across a new website for our personal use, think about how it can potentially be used for a brand – any brand
๑ Potentially, awards in the media innovation / partnership space
