Speaking on the win, Mona Shah, Senior Director and Mayur Rana, Executive Director, Triton Communications, Ahmedabad says “Working on the Knowledge position has been most satisfying. A perfect synergy between Dainik Bhaskar’s vision and Triton’s creative rendition of the brief. The work being appreciated by National and International juries is an additional bonus.”
Mr. Harrish M Bhatia, President – Sales & Marketing, Dainik Bhaskar Group also quotes on their win “At Dainik Bhaskar, we transformed our product from being a source of news to being a source of knowledge as information is already getting disseminated via internet.Our editorial philosophy is ‘Reader Centricity’ and we decided to create value in the news in such a manner that it becomes knowledge.This needed to be communicated in a manner keeping the customer (reader) benefits from knowledge upfront but without being pompous about it. That was the brief that got rendered as “smart soch” and that resonated with the readers very well. And now I guess it is resonating with juries across the world as the campaign keeps winning awards all over the world.”
