These assets were strategically identified and selected, considering on road mobility post lockdown. Based on the city/town topography and OOH movement, various touchpoints were considered namely, main junction of a city, key arterial roads, main markets, bus stands, railway stations, entry and exit of cities to highlight the brand revamp communication and increase brand appeal among consumers.
Sharing his thoughts about the OOH campaign, Mr. Vinod Kumar Gupta, Managing Director, Dollar Industries Limited, commented, “Due to the Covid-19 pandemic transits/movements were restricted, and we focused on digital and social media platforms. However, with the lockdown restrictions easing out across various states, we have utmost confidence that OOH media will effectively contribute to our communication campaign. OOH has amazing traction across traffic junctions, market places and transit venues like airports and railway stations.”
He further added, “We have recently undergone a brand architecture change and it is imperative to communicate the change to our consumers and stakeholders. With the workplaces resuming operations, people will spend a lot of time on-the-go. Therefore, we firmly believe that outdoor media has immense potential and is here to co-exist alongside new age mediums.”
