ETV News wanted to promote its three new shows in the market of Gujarat and Karnataka. These were regional shows, and we wanted to touch the local TG showcasing the News anchors and news about their place as an essential point. They wanted to create a buzz in the market about the News channel and show among the TG.
We planned the Miscall integration and location-based mass text message to target the right audience at the right time.
We engaged text messages in the regional language, resulting in an increased number of TG at the activation.
Text messages were sent 2 hours before the van’s arrival with hooking creative messages inviting them to the location to participate in the game and chance of winning a mobile phone. The planning was done keeping the pin code system of the town.
