servicing. By doing this internship I got chance to work with popular brands like ITC,
United Spirits, Amante, 3M, Ola cabs, Junggle.com, Wipro, and Sterling Holidays .
Mainly in creating the pitch presentation, competitor analysis and report preparation
for the above mentioned brands. More details regarding the process in client servicing
and tools used for doing client servicing are explained in this report.
 Research
For achieving the fifth objective, I have done one research using an online
questionnaire. The title for the research is “Understand the consumer buying
behaviour of Indian in digital era”. The sample size of the research was 200. Samples
are belongs to Indian youth and Young Indian, who are between the age of 17 to 45.
Through this research I figure out how Indians will make a purchase decision and
what a brand want to do to reach their target group. More details about research and
finding are mentioned in this report.
Findings
Indian customers are highly information seekers. They collect more information about a
product before buying it. Internet penetration in India is key player for this phenomenon.
Most of Indians are getting stimulus through advertisements, but they are not reaching to end
phase of customers purchase journey, mainly in high involvement purchases. They will do lot
of research to understand a product before buying it, digital media is the main platform of
that. So brands want to build a cool presence over digital platforms. Brands are getting more
touch points to reach target group and to engage them. More details about findings are given
this report.
Conclusion
The successful completion of this internship indicates that the future of marketing is in the
hands of digital. I conclude my research by quoting again that “Brands can’t sustain without
digital presence”

1) INTRODUCTION

11. 11
Advertising in business is a form of marketing communication used to encourage, persuade,
or manipulate an audience to take or continue to take some action. Most commonly, the
desired result is to drive consumer behaviour with respect to a commercial offering.
Advertising is defined by Richard F. Taflinger as “Advertising is the non-personal
communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about
products, services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media." [1]
Advertising is normally done by a third party known as advertising agency. An advertising
agency is a service based business dedicated to creating, planning, and handling advertising
for its clients. An ad agency is independent from the client and provides an outside point of
view to the effort of selling the client's products or services. An agency can also handle
overall marketing and branding strategies and sales promotions for its clients. [2]Types of ad
agencies are
 Full service agencies
 Creative agencies
 Specialized agencies
 In-house agencies
 Digital agencies or new media agencies
This report is completely discussing about digital or new media agencies. There was a time
when Television was the most popular medium for Marketer to promote, spread awareness
and generate leads for their products but now the trend has changed and Digital media has
taken its place. Main reason for this change was
 Traditional methods are expensive. Compared to digital marketing channels, you
could end up spending thousands of dollars more.
 Traditional marketing channels fail to provide instant feedback and reports about who
saw or heard an ad, and took action. This data is collected long after the initial ad
impression is made (and still then, the statistics are far from exact numbers).
Digital marketing, on the other hand, refers to marketing methods that allow organizations to
see how a campaign is performing in real-time, such as what is being viewed, how often, how
long, as well as other statistics such as sales conversions.

12. 12
1.1) Digital Media Marketing or Digital Marketing
The term 'digital marketing' was first used in the 1990s. In the 2000s and the 2010s, digital
marketing became more sophisticated as an effective way to create a relationship with the
consumer that has depth and relevance.
Digital marketing was defined in Wikipedia as “marketing that makes use of electronic
devices (computers) such as personal computers, smart phones, cell phones, tablets and game
consoles to engage with customers. Digital marketing applies technologies or platforms such
as websites, e-mail, apps (classic and mobile) and social networks”. [3]
Peoples often referred digital marketing as 'online marketing' or 'internet marketing' but it’s
wrong. Digital marketing revolves around the Internet, which explains why people tend to
believe that digital marketing and Internet marketing are synonymous. Nonetheless, they are
different. Internet marketing falls under the category of digital marketing. Internet marketing
encompasses digital marketing services such as search engine optimization, display
advertising, and email marketing.
1.2) Isobar India
Isobar is a global digital marketing agency with a total of 63 offices in 37 markets worldwide.
The agency is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dentsu Aegis Network and is sister agency to
Posterscope, iProspect, Carat and Vizeum.Dentsu.
Isobar is a modern communications agency network, made up of a committed and diverse
group of over 3,000 digital pioneers in 37 markets. Established in 2003, Isobar is the global
home for the world’s finest digital pioneers and the smartest traditional marketing talent, that
helps connect brands with their fans and customers by creating irresistible ideas combining
creative, planning, technology and data.
1.3) Client Servicing
Heart part of this project is dealing with client servicing. A client servicing is the face of an
advertising agency. Responsibilities of client servicing include understanding the client’s
needs and expectations. In fact, the advertising process begins with the client servicing
person visiting the potential client for a brief. He then needs to communicate this to his
agency. His job is to hunt for new business and be a bridge between the agency and the client.
Key responsibilities of client servicing are managing internal workflow and developing
strong partnerships with clients. Other responsibilities include liaising with the clients on all

13. 13
aspects of marketing communications, briefing agency departments, presenting proposals to
clients, managing advertising spend budget, keeping clients up-to-date on their own and
competitive activity, occasionally negotiating with media on client’s behalf and approaching
prospective clients whose accounts are under review.
1.4) Scope of the Internship
1) To understand the element in digital media
2) To understand the effectiveness of branding through digital media
3) To understand the effort behind fulfilment of brands objective through campaigns
4) To choose appropriate media for communication
5) To maintain relationship with clients
6) To understand the Target Group for different brands
1.5) Methodology
For accomplishing this internship, I used two methodologies. One is working as a client
servicing executive in Isobar India and another one is a research to understanding the
consumer buying behaviour of Indians in digital era using an online questionnaire.
1.5.1) Client servicing

To understanding the consumer buying behaviour I did one research using an online
questionnaire. Sample size of the research was 200. Samples for this research are
under Indian youth and young Indians, who come under 17 to 45 year age groups.
1.6) Limitation of the Internship
1) The time span for the project is limited
2) The problems with using paid tools for relevant data, example like ComScore.
3) Time of campaigns for some client is more than three months

15. 15
2) INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

16. 16
The Indian Media and Entertainment (M&E) Industry, one of the most vibrant and exciting
industries in the world, has had a tremendous impact on the lives and the Indian economy. As
the M&E industry widens its reach, it plays a critical role in creating awareness on issues
affecting, channelling the energy of and building aspirations among India’s millions. As it
entertains and informs the country, the M&E industry has been a catalyst for the growth of
large parts of the Indian economy. M&E industry consist of TV, Print, Films, Radio, Music,
OOH, Animation and VFX, Gaming and Digital Advertising.
The FICCI-KPMG 2014 Report 'The Stage Is Set' showing the Indian media and
entertainment (M&E) industry has grown by 11.8 per cent in 2013 while comparing with
2012 and touched Rs 918 billion. It is expected to touch Rs 1785.8 billion by 2018, with a
CAGR of 14.2 per cent. [4]
By the end of 2014, the industry is expected to stand at Rs 1039 billion. Additionally, digital
advertising has shown promising growth in 2013 while comparing with 2012, which is about
38.7 per cent, followed by gaming which grew by 25.5 per cent. As for the 2018 prediction:
Digital advertising is expected to lead the CAGR with 27.7 per cent, followed by radio with
18.1 per cent. Gaming and television are expected to register a CAGR of 16.2 per cent each,
followed by growth rates of animation and VFX (15.9 per cent), music (13.2 per cent), films
(11.9 per cent) and OOH with 9.2 per cent expected CAGR. [4]
According to the annual advertising expenditure report from GroupM, The digital media
advertising revenues for the year 2013 is estimated at Rs 2,520.1 crore (around $405 million)

17. 17
, up 30% from Rs 1,938.6 crore in 2012,. Digital contributed to 6.5% of the total media
advertising expenditure in 2013, up from 5.5% share in 2012. [5]
The agency estimates that the digital media advertising revenues to reach Rs 3,402.2 crore
($546 million) in 2014, registering a 35% growth year on year. This will represent around
7.9% of the total media advertising expenditure in 2014, which is estimated at Rs 43,065.4
crore. The company notes this will be driven by election spending by the government and
political parties across all media. GroupM made the prediction in the latest edition of its
annual report This Year, Next Year. Digital media were projected to increase 35%, with TV
slowing to 12% from last year’s 14.6% and print picking up to 8.5% from 4.6% in 2013. [5]
Digital ad spends accounted for 8.3 percent of the total ad spends of Inr362.5 billion in 2013.
Digital media advertising in India is grown by 38.7 per cent in 2013, faster than any other ad
category. [6] With the dramatic growth in mobile usage, content providers and advertisers are
seeking opportunities to get their message across on this preferred medium of the masses.
It is estimated that the total internet user base will reach 494 Million by the end of 2018 as
against 938 million TV viewers in the same year. This means that the internet user population
will be approximately 53 per cent of the total number of TV viewer in the country in 2018
compared to 27 per cent in 2013. [6] This shift towards the digital media is important for
digital media strategists to consider, in order balancing their marketing budgets between
online media and traditional TV strategy.
IAMAI & IMRB report of March 2013 showing trends in breakup of Digital ad market
among various ad types like search ads, display ads, mobile ads, social media ads, email ads
and video ads. By seeing this breakup we can understand marketer are giving importance to
all venues to place ads. [7]

18. 18
Some of the key players in the Digital advertising are Ogilvy & Mather, Webchutney, IBS,
Isobar, Maxus, 22 Feet, Grey Digital, Mind Share, Interactive Avenues, Omnicom Media
Group, Digital Law & Kenneth, Pinstrom.
2.1) Business Model of Industry
ATD- Agency Trading Desk DSP- Demand Side Platform SSP- Selling Side
Platform
About Process
Clients would give authority to agencies, to wear the shoes of clients. Agency will create ads,
which may be banner ads or videos. After the creation and getting approval from clients,
agency while find out the portals or websites where the T.G is present. Later give the order to
DSP or ATD, this order contains details regarding where to place ads or which portal is
requiring to placing the ad. This DSP/ ATD will bid in ad exchange for that portal.
Otherwise agency can directly approach to ad networks and give orders. These ad networks
buy the inventories from publisher and give to agency. From publisher view he can sell
inventories through Ad networks or through SSP. If publisher give to SSP, they will place
those space in ad exchange for bidding. Through ad exchange DSP/ATD will buy those
inventories. Bidding will not only for space but also for T.G which required for clients.
Ad exchanges are technology platforms that facilitate the bids for buying and selling of
online media advertising inventory from multiple ad networks. The approach is technology-
driven as opposed to the historical approach of negotiating price on media inventory.[9]

19. 19
A demand-side platform (DSP) is a system that allows buyers of digital advertising
inventory to manage multiple ad exchange and data exchange accounts through one interface.
Real-time bidding for displaying online ads takes place within the ad exchanges, and by
utilizing a DSP, marketers can manage their bids for the banners and the pricing for the data
that they are layering on to target their audiences.[8] A supply-side platform or sell-side
platform (SSP) is a technology platform, web publishers of the world use a supply-side
platform to automate and optimize the selling of their online media space. [9]

2.2) Porter’s Five Model Analysis of Digital Advertising Industry
Porter’s model will help analysis the industry and understand where the power lies in the
business. Here I am using porter’s model to understand digital advertising industry in India.
Generally, in the Indian advertising industry, contracts are long termed, and customers are
likely to keep going back to the same advertiser so long as results were obtained the first
time.
1) Threats of New Entry
 Full service agencies have high demand in Market.
 Lack of getting efficient work force is a threat in digital advertising.
 Cost of setting up a digital agency is low. But agencies need to invest a huge
amount in backend function like technology.
 Getting clients in the initial stage is a bit difficult, because clients will usually
look the past experience of agency.
 Government regulations in the digital advertising are low. While comparing with
M&E industry.
2) Bargaining power of suppliers
 Lot of suppliers are there, but some suppliers who have high reach and affinity
will charge high price for placing ads in their portals.
 Real time bidding will lead to increase the demand of some portals.
 Bargaining power of suppliers, who provide data and information are very high.
 Seasonal campaigns put pressure on supply side to charge high.
 Employee or work force with proper knowledge is limited.
3) Bargaining power of buyers
 Buyer are the clients of agencies, basically buyers are high idea seekers.
 Clients will choose agencies which have good experience in industry.
 Clients like long term relationships with agencies, so they also try to adjust with
agencies.
 Clients can ask agencies to change pattern of campaigns at any time.
 Clients like MNC’s have high power over agencies, but SME’s will satisfy with
performance of agencies.
 Backward integration by buyers is not possible.

21. 21
4) Threats of substitutes
 No. of substitutes is high, substitutes include Print media, TV, OOH and Radio.
 Substitutes are too popular among buyers. They had high demand in past years.
 Main competitor for Digital advertising is TVC, but trends are now changing
FICCI-KPMG report of 2014 showing growth of digital is very high while
comparing with others media.
 But media consumption through radio is increasing now.
5) Rivalry by existing competitors
 At present competitors are low, but it can be increase in future. Because lot new
players are coming to the industry.
 Existing competitors have high profile clients and clients loyal toward them.
 Most of the traditional agencies are now concentrating in digital also.
 Existing firms in the Industry are creating variety and unique campaign for clients.
 Most of the firms have efficient backend support in technology.
 Existing firms have the expertise manpower and firms giving good remunerations
to employees. So employees are loyal towards employers.
 Some firms are popular due to execution of innovative campaigns.
 Few of the brands have in-house agencies, it will reduce business but not in a high
level.
Conclusion of Porter’s Five Force Analysis
 Low threats for new entry.
 High bargaining power of suppliers.
 Bargaining power of buyer is medium, but in coming year there is chance for
increase. Due to lot of players are coming to industry.
 Threats of the substitutes are high, but it will change in coming years.
 Rivalry by existing competitors is high, but possible to break it by doing some unique
campaign for client.
 Indian market is a potential market for digital advertising due to high internet and
mobile penetration.

world, while China is on the top with over 1,360,044,605 (1.36 billion) people. [10] The
figures show that India represents almost 17.31% of the world's population, which means one
out of six people on this planet live in India. Although, the crown of the world's most
populous country is on China's head for decades, India is all set to take the numerous
positions by 2030. With the population growth rate at 1.58%, India is predicted to have more
than 1.53 billion people by the end of 2030. [11]

31% year-on-year increase, India’s online population grew to 73.9 million. With an extended
online universe in excess of 145 million the market is at a tipping point for online businesses.
The numbers are lower than other recent estimates, possibly reflecting comScore’s
methodology that only factors in PC and laptop-based Internet usage. [12]

and most basic hand-sets today offering access to the internet. According to IMAI, India has
110 million mobile internet users of which 25 million are in rural India. The growth of
internet penetration in rural India is driven largely by the mobile phone; 70% of rural India's
active internet population access the web via mobile phones. This may have to do with the
difficulty in accessing PCs. Forty-two percent of rural India's internet users prefer using the
internet in local languages. The high prevalence of content in English is a hurdle for much of
rural India.[14]
Research report of InMobi showing the behaviour mobile user in internet, 21% of their total

According to comScore data, the online video audience in India grew an astounding 27
percent in the past years; YouTube continues to be the top video property with more than
55% share. International publishers including Facebook, Yahoo and Dailymotion get a
majority of the 54 million who watched videos. YouTube is the most popular with 32,519
visitor.

34. 34
Social Video report saying 46% of internet users watch brand related video every week. 54%
watching videos that are informative or entertaining often leads to a number of other positive
activities such as visiting the brand website. Peoples are now likely to regularly watch videos
using their smart phones. Almost six in ten internet users have gone to purchase an item after
seeing it in an online video. [15]
4.6) Media Consumption of Indian’s
On an average Indian consumers are spending 6.10 hours in media per day. In traditional
media Indian audience spend only 195 min or 3.15 hours. If we see the breakup it will be
86min in television, 37 min in newspaper and 30 min in radio. Remaining 4.55 hours or 214
min in new media or digital media. Break up of new media will be like 102 min in mobile,
79min in online and 33 min in tablets. [16]
From a marketers view digital platform is very important because customers have more
presence in digital media. Customers are spending more time on digital, so it is easy to catch
customers in digital platform, more than that spending digital is much cost effective while
comparing with traditional.

5.1.6) Video
Marketers are now use video to make customers aware of brands and to sharing the
experience of other customers. YouTube ads are too popular in video ads. In social media
platforms also brands are sharing video.

38. 38
5.1.7) Analysis
Analytics is the practice of evaluating data, and the process by which a company arrives at a
most advantageous decision. Here marketer analysis the integrate channel to understand the
effectiveness of communication. Analysis may be based on numbers of visitor or like in
social media pages..Etc.
5.1.8) Content Management

actual a plan formulated by the marketer to explore the opportunities. Strategy may be short
term or long term, but it need to be fit with market situations.

39. 39
5.2) Types of Digital Marketing
In normal outbound marketing, we will use pull and push marketing strategy. Like that in
digital marketing also pull and push are types.
In push digital marketing the marketer sends a message without the recipient actively
seeking the content, such as display advertising on websites and news blogs. Email, text
messaging and web feeds with customized contents can also be classed as push digital
marketing when the recipient has not actively sought the marketing message. Push marketing
allows you to target your demographics and use your marketing dollars to promote your
product to the people you know are interested in what you have to sell. A push marketing
campaign can be more expensive when it comes to upfront costs, so you really need to be
sure that your marketing is going to reach the right people at the right time. Behaviour
targeting is good example for push digital marketing.
In Pull digital marketing includes blogging, email marketing, social media, info graphics
and other forms of visual messaging and search engine optimization (SEO). A pull marketing
campaign also includes public relations or other ways of reaching out to potential or already
realized customers who you want to keep engaged. While a pull marketing campaign can be
less expensive to get started, you will incur costs in other ways. For example, if you are
running a social media campaign, you will need to hire someone to manage your social media
and respond to people who leave comments or ask questions. Social media gets people
talking and that has a major impact on sales. Pull marketing also requires a greater investment
in time, but it gives you more ability to entertain your customers and educate them about your
company. [18]
But don't get confused by seeing Email in push and pull, there is a difference. If marketer is
sending emails with customized content or banners to specific group of customers is push
digital marketing. If marketer is sending emails with the same content or banner to all
customers is pull digital marketing.
5.3) AIDMA as AISAS in Digital Era
AIDMA widely accepted model describing the psychological process leading up to the
consumer’s decision to purchase a product. This model is similar to AIDA model. The
AIDMA Model was first advocated by Roland Hall, an American economist, around 1920.
[19]

40. 40
According to this model, there are five key processes: Attention, in which the consumer first
notices the product or advertisement, followed by Interest, Desire, Memory, and Action.
This model has been used extensively in the advertising and marketing industries.
AISAS is a process model of consumers purchasing activities in the Internet age. AISAS is a
consumption behaviour model that has been advocated by Dentsu since 2004. It was
developed to observe behaviours based on the understanding that the Internet has become
prevalent, and that consumers now have access to environments in which they can obtain and
transmit information themselves.
In this model, the key processes are: Attention, in which the consumer first notices the
product or advertisement, followed by Interest. After this, the consumer Searches for
information, and then makes a purchase (Action), after which information is shared with
others. In comparison to “AIDMA,” the psychological process has become more compact,
and the Action process has expanded.
These changes are shown how presences in digital are important for brands. Brands can able
to create awareness and internet without digital. But it will not lead to action in current
scenario. Customers need more information in present era; they are information seeker and
always search for best deal. Brands can’t sustain without digital media.

5.4) Advantages of Digital Marketing
Digital Advertising is increasingly an inherent budgetary component of many organizations
today. Organizations of all sizes use the medium to promote their products and services. So
well, why do so many organizations use the medium? Simply put, it is due to the numerous
advantages that online advertising offers. These are discussed in the paragraphs ahead.
Reach - The ability of the online medium to target a certain demographic of users is one of
the greatest advantages of digital advertising. In addition, the geographical reach of the online
medium is far greater than that of traditional media. It’s not only cost effective to achieve a
wider geographic area but the ads can also be targeted to the desired audience. For example,
if an advertiser is keen on selling his or her products targeted to a certain demographic of
people, it is quite possible through online advertising. Digital advertising has matured to the
extent that web publishers, media agencies and advertisers themselves know the optimal
ways and websites for a certain category of products or services.
Measurement - With various tools becoming available, tracking effectiveness of ad
campaigns is becoming possible today. In other words, measuring Return of Investment
(ROI) is increasingly possible today. Organizations that were previously reluctant to spend
online, now realize that the online medium does offer means to alleviate any such fears.
Moreover, when properly designed online marketing campaigns generate the desired results,
advertisers are further encouraged to continue advertising online.
Interactive and Engagement - The Internet is arguably the most interactive and engaging
medium among various others. Interactive campaigns have become a norm with the power of
the online medium. One such advertisement worth mentioning is the campaign by AXE
where the end user could alter the smile of a woman as he/she liked to i.e. in an interactive
framework. The advertisement struck an instant chord with the youth to which AXE the
brand is positioned for Customers are basically just a click away from the advertisers. In
other words, direct response between end users and advertisers is possible through the online
medium.
Time - Through the Internet, an advertiser can reach a desired target group or demographic in
a much shorter time frame. For example, if an advertiser needs to plan some sort of ambush
marketing, the online medium can be an effective means of achieving it. Even otherwise i.e.
for regular marketing campaigns, the total time necessary to complete an online advertising
campaign is less than that of traditional advertising methods.

42. 42
Cost - When compared to traditional forms of advertising, digital advertising is cheaper.
Various payment models are available between the advertisers and publishers. Many a time,
advertisers are charged only when visitors click on their ads. The various payment models are
discussed in detail in the next section.

5.9) Branding in Digital Era
Before doing this internship, I believed marketer is responsible for building a brand or
marketer is a custodian for a brand. But while doing internship, I understood marketer is not a
custodian, he is a person who guides a product to become a brand.
Today, brand custodians are the connected users who exist across digital platforms. They are
multifaceted. They are the publishers, circulators, ambassadors, instigators and at the same
time they are the custodians as well. Their digitally connected existence has power,
credibility, influence, depth, and reach.[26] Their digital messaging has
the velocity, acceleration, and momentum required to impact brands. Yet brands and their
default custodians continue to live blissfully in an illusion about the control they exercise
over their brand.
Brand is an enabler in the current age. It is the participants, the brand conversations and the
platforms that amplify the brand and drive the brand philosophy. Businesses need to,
therefore, understand the consumers and the evolving digital sphere better and continue to
build brands within the digitally connected ecosystem by focusing on the following 3
elements- [27]
People
The digital age has democratized individuals. They are no longer passive consumers, but
active and creative participants. They expect and believe in the co-creation of an experience,
thereby evolving from consumers to users. They are becoming the most credible and reliable
source of the true picture of a brand.
People
EngagementsChannles

46. 46
Consumers are beginning to seek a relationship of fair exchange between themselves and the
businesses where each contributes and everyone gains. Individuals are seeking a
multidimensional relationship that provides them with more than just the brand
product/service.
The fair exchange relationship is also offering new opportunities to the business to build
more human connections. Businesses will have to become receptive to this new age definition
of relationship that consumers seek. They may do well to go a step ahead and create an
environment that is receptive to this fair relationship.
Channels
With consumers evolving into users and participating in co-creation, it is important for brands
to offer those channels and platforms that allow them to participate in this process. Users are
seeking channels that offer them more than just digital promotional activities; they want
channels that allow them the freedom to be publishers of content, information and data, that
give them control over what content they produce and consume, that allow them to co-create
brand experience.
The channels also need to be device agnostic. Users are adapting to the usage of different
devices throughout the day to execute tasks at hand. They might use a smartphone or tablet
to complete functional tasks etc. while on the move, but they use a PC for heavy content
creation and research. According to a google research, 90 percent of people move between
devices to accomplish a task, with virtually all of them completing their task in one day. The
most popular starting point is the smartphone. In most cases, the tasks are continued on a PC
though tablets are also becoming a popular option for continuing social networking and
watching videos.
Businesses and brands need to accept that it is the consumer who has become a more credible
publisher by virtue of their access to a device which is always on and active. Creating an
environment of device agnostic platforms and channels that allow co-creation of content
between brands and consumers will address this shift.

47. 47
Engagement
It is about creating a window with enhanced attention to influence behaviour and motivations.
With every business eyeing the opportunity to engage users, it is critical to focus on
engagement by increasing brand salience and influencing buyer behaviour and choice. Brands
should be able to map a customer’s journey to understand where they can add value and
create an opportunity to engage them. Brands need to understand that engagement is not
about pushing product messages; it is about capturing the imagination and the attention of the
user. It is about designing a naturally engaging experience.
Businesses need to understand that digital environment is not about technology but about
attention, where the consumer is at the core, armed with powers like never before. Businesses
and brands should, therefore, focus on connecting the dots and realize that now, in the digital
age, it is all about co-owning a brand.

proposal is entirely different from the last proposal. Mostly client will like this
proposal. If client don’t like this proposal they will ask the agencies to redo the
proposal.
 Final proposal: Proposal which finally put forward to clients by agency, this need to
be more effective and attractive to the client. In most of the cases clients will like first
proposal itself. It will max-to-max go for a review only.
 Approved: Proposal or pitch need to get approval from client, then only agencies can
able move forward by starting the creative works or other step.

Basically creative if one of heart part of the campaign. Client servicing personal want
to convey the needs of the brand to creative team based on the clients requirements.
Client servicing personal will show the creative work to clients and get approval from
them. If client is not satisfied with the work, agency will redo the creative work and
get approval from them.

campaign to reach audience. For this client servicing personal will send the creative

6.4) Tools used
1) comScore
comScore is an American Internet analytics company providing marketing data and analytics
to many of the world's largest enterprises, agencies, and publishers. comScore maintains a
group of users who have monitoring software installed on their computers. [20]
Advertising agencies use comScore products to identify the online content that best reaches
their target audiences, to design online media plans that maximize the ROI from advertising
spend and to optimize campaigns’ reach and frequency, all while reaching a desired target
demographic. [21]
With comScore Media Metrix, ad agencies can,
 Understand clients’ online audience and that of their competitors
 Identify the most appropriate sites for advertising campaigns
 Understand where and how budgets can be spent most effectively
 Evaluate advertising strategies, schedules and creative executions
Data provided by comScore does not include mobile internet user data and internet cafe user
data, so comScore data is low in size but it’s more relevant.
2) Google Trend
Google Trends is a public web facility of Google Inc., based on Google Search, which shows
how often a particular search-term is entered relative to the total search-volume across
various regions of the world, and in various languages. The horizontal axis of the main graph
represents time, and the vertical is how often a term is searched for relative to the total
number of searches, globally. Below the main graph, popularity is broken down by countries,
regions, cities and language. Marketer can use Google Trend to know from where highest and
low search come from which location for their products.
3) Face dominator
It’s tool using to understand competitors facebook fans and their details. It will help to do
customized campaigns through facebook.

55. 55
4) Google Keyword Planner
Keyword Planner is like a workshop for building new Search Network campaigns or
expanding existing ones. Marketer can search for keyword and ad group ideas, see how a list
of keywords might perform, and even create a new keyword list by multiplying several lists
of keywords together. A free AdWords tool, Keyword Planner can also help you choose
competitive bids and budgets to use with your campaigns. Benefits of keyword planner are
given below.
Research keywords: You can search for keyword and ad groups ideas based on terms that
are relevant to your product or service, your landing page, or different product categories.
Get historical statistics and traffic estimates: Use statistics like search volume to help you
decide which keywords to use for a new or existing campaign. Get estimates, like estimated
clicks, to get an idea of how a list of keywords might perform for a given bid and budget.
These estimates can also help guide your decision on which bids and budgets to set.
It's important to keep in mind that while Keyword Planner can provide some great keyword
ideas and traffic estimates, campaign performance depends on a variety of factors. For
example, bids, budget, product, and customer behaviour in the industry can all influence the
success of your campaigns.
5) Alexa.com
Alexa analyzes web usage from traffic data sources including their own Alexa Toolbar users
to eventually create traffic rankings for websites. This essentially determines how popular a
website is. Even though these scores are highly respected in certain circles, the traffic data
isn’t a representative sample of the global internet population, but an extensive variety of
statistics taken from Alexa Toolbar users. [22] Another point to remember is that sites with
relative low traffic will not be accurately ranked by Alexa as it is difficult to ascertain the
correct figure from sites with fewer than 1000 visitors.

7) UNDERSTAND THE CONSUMER
BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF INDIANS

57. 57
As part of this internship, I have done a research to understand the consumer buying behavior
of Indians in the digital era. First, we can understand consumer buying behavior, Kotler and
Keller defined consumer buying behavior as “the study of the ways of buying and disposing
of goods, services, ideas or experiences of the individuals, groups and organizations in order
to satisfy their needs and wants”. [23]
The main motive behind this research is zero moments of truth (ZMOT) of Google. In 2012
Google done a research to understand the change in consumer buying behavior, for that they
have taken samples from U.S, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Russia, France, Netherlands,
Australia, Poland, Turkey and Brazil. After the research they arrived at a new concept called
‘ZMOT’, which showing the big change in consumer buying behavior in the digital era.
In past years marketer believed that consumer get ‘two moments’ to understand a brand.
Marketing efforts at that period will try to create stimulus in customers through
advertisements and this stimulus will lead customers toward ‘two moments’. At that period
one model was coined by P&G in 2005 and CEO said "The best brands consistently win two
moments of truth. The first moment occurs at the store shelf, when a consumer decides
whether to buy one brand or another. The second occurs at home, when she uses the brand —
and is delighted, or isn’t."[24]
Let’s see an example to understand how this model works.
Stimulus is advertisement. Dad is watching a football game and sees an ad for digital
cameras. He thinks, “That looks good.”
First moment of Truth it will happen in the shopping Shelf. He goes to his favourite
electronics store, where he sees a terrific stand- up display for that same digital camera. The
packaging is great. A young sales guy answers all his questions. He buys the camera.

58. 58
Second moment of truth is Experience or Post Purchase behaviour. Dad gets home and
the camera records beautiful pictures of his kids, just as advertised. He becomes loyal to the
brand.
Later in 2012 Google coined a model and named it as ZMOT or Zero Moment of Truth.
Google coined this model through research of 5000 shoppers and asked them a simple
question, how many sources of information you will collect before making a purchase
decision? The survey revealed that the average shopper uses 10.4 sources of information,
ranging from TV commercials and magazine articles, to recommendations from friends and
family, to websites, ratings to blogs. [25] ZMOT model of customer buying behaviour is like
this.
Let’s take the pervious example; dad purchased the camera after see television ad. But now,
after seeing an ad dad will open his laptop and make a search or ask in social networking sites
or visit company site or see customer rating before making an action. Then only first moment
of truth and second moment of truth will come. So presence in digital is important for brands,
they need to use this platform to convince customers.
In this ZMOT report Google is advising brands to go for multi-screen marketing. The reason
for this was “77% of viewers use another device while they are watching TV”. So if brands
go for multi- screen it will help to create efficient stimulus in customers. [25]

59. 59
This is main motive for doing this research; one more thing is there penetration of internet in
India. I already mentioned about penetration of Internet in India in this report.

8) FINDINGS

71. 71
 Indian customers are highly information seekers. They collect more information about
quality, price and refer customer’s experiences before purchasing a product.
 Advertisements have high impact for creating stimulus in Indian customers. But this
stimulus will get in to action only through opinion leaders.
 Indian consumers have high tendency to go for online purchase. They have high
affinity to go online for electronic products and apparels.
 One of the current trends in Indian youth and young Indians are watching the T.V
programs via online portals. May be the main reason is convenience of time, they can
watch programs which they had skipped due to some reasons.
 The same thing is happening for the newspaper also, people have more affinity
towards online news portals. Here's the reason may be they can get news updates very
early; they don’t need to wait for daily newspapers.
 In both of these cases, one opportunity is lost for marketer and one opportunity is
emerging for them to reach their T.G.
 More than 90% of the samples have a mobile or Smartphone and laptops or PC. 96%
of samples have an internet connection is any of these gadgets, this showing the
penetration of internet in India.
 If we take tablet, penetration in Indian is low. But it doesn’t mean that no one is using
tabs. More than 30% of samples have tablet. For brands they are getting three more
platforms to reach their T.G and engage them.
 33% of the samples are using these gadgets while they are with their friends, so just
think about the reach. If one person noticed something which is cool and awesome
they will surely communicate to others.
 25% of the samples are using these gadgets while watching T.V; it’s again a barrier
for brands which use TVC only. 21% of the samples are using this gadget for
chatting and 16% are using for surfing. What they are surfing? It can be about a
product, local events or locations...etc.
 In this situation, one opportunity is again losing to brands and one opportunity is
emerging for brands to reach their T.G.
 More than 90% of samples are noticing ads, among them 35% of samples noticed ads
through online media, followed by TVC and Newspapers.
 48% of samples are telling they give more importance to online ads and 34 % of
samples give importance to T.V.C.

72. 72
 From the first part of this research itself, we know that customers are highly
information seeker. It may be the reason for high trust in online ads. They can search
for more information after seeing an ad or online is the only two way communication
channel for customers.
 22% of the samples do research through their lap or PC before purchasing a product
from the retail shop and 21% do research via mobile.
 Most of the Indians prefer to purchase from a retail shop only, but before going to
retail shop they will seek information about the product through an online platform.
Here is actually change happens in consumer buying journey, early times consumer
belief a product only after seeing the product in a retail shop.
 But now Indian customers want to get conviction about a product before going to
retail shop. So from a marketers view they want to convince their customers before
going to a retail shop.
 Brands want to build a cool presence over digital platforms because the customer will
do research about the product after seeing an ad or after getting stimulated.
 Brands are getting more touch points to reach target group in a cost effective manner.

73. 73
9) CONCLUSION

74. 74
The successful completion of this internship indicates that the future of marketing is in the
hands of digital. Digital marketing is not only concerned with placing ads in portals, it
consists of integrated services and integrated channels. Marketers want to use these
components in an effective way to reach target groups and to build a brand. In this digital era
marketer is not the custodian for a brand, people who are connected across the digital
platforms are the custodians.
Brands want to build their presence over digital platform, because customers have high
affinity towards digital media than other media’s. More than that customers are highly
information seekers and digital media is the only platform for two way communication
between brands and customers.
Digital media is the best platform to convert a product to a brand. Because it is more cost
effective and it provide lot of touch points to marketer. Brands can able to engage their target
group in an effective way through digital platforms. Digital media is not only for
engagement, brands can increase their customers or they can retain their existing customers.
Digital platforms help to increase the impact of brand recall in target groups.
The research focused on the consumer buying behaviour shows that, Indian consumers are
highly information seeker and they will do research about a product before going to a retail
shop. So brands want to give platforms to consumers to understand their product or to get a
really feel of that brand.
I honestly believe that this project report will be at most useful for marketers to understand
the digital marketing and also to plan for future strategies.
I conclude my research by quoting again that “Brands can’t sustain without digital presence”.
