So What Works?

Noiseless Ads
 Do not interrupt. Resonate or respond
 Context based ads – Search Engine Marketing, Facebook ads, Linked In
promotions, Twitter Promoted Tweets
9
On-demand advertising
 Turner broadcasting has launched TV in Context where ads are matched to content.
Eg mobile ads inserted in movies on bikers
 Clear channel launched this for TV
 Mobile advertising- location based or based on data from advanced sensors such
as temperature etc
 Think Tangentially- Even Mumbai Locals serve contextual ads. What about VoD or
customised media such as in-store media or airport lounges.

•Expand the target audience. Think
community
•Dare to infuse craziness into your
marketing
