This will not only create an opportunity for hyper-local advertising at a cost which is much lower than national ad spot but also help expand reach by opening-up the possibility to test market product in newer territories.
The platform has an intelligent algorithm which is based on advertiser’s business objective will suggest the ideal channel mix to reach out to the relevant target audience through an easy to use interface, which not only creates a media plan but also allows to edit & customize their plans as per their needs.
The Zee Mitra platform will also allow advertisers to avail the services of an in-house creative team to devise a television creative in motion graphics at a nominal cost.
In addition to the online platform, this initiative will also be supported by the Zee Mitra feet-on-street sales team, who will approach potential advertisers spread in the relatively smaller corners of India and explain the benefits of advertising on TV. These advertisers will be guided and closely assisted by the Zee Mitra sales team through the entire buying process.
