Rural Van Marketing - A Viable Rural Advertising Strategy of Ascent

Audience engagement is crucial for any communication to achieve its desired goal. More so in the case of a brand trying to communicate in a highly cluttered world. With several brands vying for attention from the same audience, innovation in delivering the message is critical for success.


Gamification in BTL marketing is a powerful tool for engaging rural audiences. Rural communities have low levels of education and are not very market-savvy. In such a scenario, whether you are trying to communicate brand USPs, product information, new marketing schemes etc, it’s seen that information packaged in the form of games is very effective.

With increasing economic activity and purchasing power in rural areas, gamification opens up new possibilities for effective brand communication.
