FOR STIMULATING STORIES FROM
THE WORLD OF MARKETING

No looking back!

Hi there!


Well, what a year 2021 has been. It started with renewed hope, what with the largest vaccination drive in history. The Indian consumer was thankful that 2020 was ending and carried the festive cheer into 2021! There was a huge scare due to the second wave, but we are now ending the year with much hope.


As per GroupM’s TYNY 2021 year-end report, India’s advertising spends are to grow between 6% and 8% annually over the next 5 years. The Outdoor industry is expected to grow much faster --- 17.1% in 2021 and 14.9% in 2022. Many large employers such as TCS alerted their employees to return to their office bases post Diwali. It’s a welcome move from the outdoor perspective of course, but also from many other sectors - real estate, restaurants, travel, and the unorganized economy too!


Let’s continue wearing our masks and enjoy responsibly!


Wishing everyone a happy, safe and healthy 2022 in advance!



Best wishes

Cover Story

Post Unlock 2.0, OOH has been seeing a big revival and how

Atul Shrivastava, ED & CEO, Laqshya Media, added here, “In terms of the format, OOH is completely different from all other formats, which are restricted to at home or closed doors. OOH advertising is synonymous with Freedom. No other format could have offered the feeling of breathing in freedom while noticing an advertisement and clients are very quick to be back on OOH to get the guaranteed OTS (opportunity to see). Brands that have relevance and boldness in their creativity have always been the ones to profit most from OOH. There have been multiple studies showing how much engagement brands get from outdoor advertising compared to the other mediums that gave them ROI in the lockdown. Gradually, everything is going back to normal. We don’t have to choose between the normal we had before and the normal we had in the pandemic. People have started going out, going to offices and malls and theatres and restaurants. As the world retains its normality, OOH, once again, will be the preferred path for advertising. It has been extremely profitable before and soon; it will be even more profitable.”
