Your Brand Is What the Audiences See It to Be.


One of the important purposes of Advertising Campaigns is the creation of a brand image that the consumers can identify with and trust. The concept of Brand Image has gained a firm footing in the modern markets. This is in contrast to the earlier times when the traditional role of Advertisements was to inform and attract for the on-the-spot sales. Thus, taglines like “Hurry!” and “Cheapest Prices” were the only orders of the day. Though such taglines are still visible today, they do justice to only one scope of the promotional mediums. Advertisements, nowadays, strive to achieve much more than that. It is no longer just about clearing the racks for the day, but about building faithful consumer bases so that a sustainable model of business can be implemented.

Almost everything, of what the audiences perceive about a brand, is what the brand’s Advertisement has been able to communicate. Thus, the Hoardings, Wall Mounts, etc., are not just Advertisement stands, but the glass through which the audiences see your brand. The moment any brand’s name is uttered before us, the first images that come to our minds are the ones propagated by the Ads, closely followed by its products or services. Thus, it is no wonder that huge amounts are allocated to Advertising budgets.

Due to the creativity and innovation of the Advertising Agencies, it is no longer just the Ad copies themselves that create impressions for the brands. It is also the ways in which they are presented that makes a big impact. What had started as fliers is now a full-fledged PR management tool.

If Hypnosis Is Your Goal, OOH is Your Medium



The Advertising Media has timeless tales of campaigns that woo the audience beyond the actual viewing period. Among them, the OOH Medium is the torchbearer in this regard, with some of them creating classy environments of a magical aura. OOH Advertising has been known to produce such campaigns from time to time that stand apart from the others. These are campaigns that impress the viewers in such a manner that they leave a lasting impression on them. It has been observed that there are more instances of hypnotizing ads in the OOH Medium than any other medium.



One of the topmost reasons for OOH Medium being the best platform for such ads of high impact is their larger than life canvas. The larger-than-life Hoardings have a way of inspiring awe and wonder simply by the size of the displays. Another prominent technique utilized by the OOH Displays is to use the lightning of the surroundings in ways that create environments straight out of fairy tales. If employed in the correct manner, even the simplest of displays can create music in the eyes of the onlooker. Thirdly, some of the OOH Media, like Airport Advertising Displays, are placed at places with high dwell times, due to which, the number of continuous looks are much higher than the other media, resulting in the higher levels of exposure.



Top Advertising Agencies, as well as brands, know that there is no media that can defeat OOH in matters of the impact created. This is why OOH continues to revel in endorsements by the top brands, all over the world.

Outdoor Advertising in India Continues to Charm Audiences.



Outdoor Advertising India has seen glorious years of operation. The Wall Mounts, Hoardings, Billboards, etc., emphatically continue to catch the imagination of a nation apart from bringing in high Returns of Investment (ROI) for brands belonging to various industries. It has been a surprising observation to see OOH Advertising India continuing to prosper and expand in spite of the high enthusiasm for the digital medium too. Very interestingly, increase in interest for Advertising on the online medium has not resulted in decrease for the OOH platform.

The most apt case for studying the above phenomenon is TDI International India P Limited, the leading Advertising Agency in India, which pioneered Airport Advertising in India. TDI, today, provides services of Airport Advertising, Delhi Metro Advertising, Mall Activation, and Mobile and Internet Advertising. It has in fact a separate division called MAD (Mobile Advertising Division) to look after Online Advertising on the digital platform. TDI reports that the expansion of MAD has in no way affected the performance of its outdoor operations. TDI’s Outdoor Advertising clients still happily report high RoI from its Outdoor Advertising Campaigns at the airports and metro stations and from its Mall Activation. The scenario of Advertising India presents a rare opportunity for brands to effectively promote their brands on both the mediums.

One of the reasons for the above situation can be found in the way that the Indian consumers behave. They are armed with the latest devices that technology offers. The latest mobiles, laptops, etc. ensure that they can be targeted through this medium. But they are also still comfortable when the product or service and their ad displays are presented in manners that are tangible in some way or the other. Even while embracing the new schools of thought, the Indian audiences also hold close to their heart, what they have learnt from the previous generations.
