As per a study by KPMG in India and Google, global cross border B2C e-commerce is setto rise at 25 percent CAGR to approximately USD1.5tn in 2022 and thus Indian brands are now looking at international markets.
With the consumerism and mobility among Indian audiences riding high, the OOH market is busy and bustling.Advertising expenditure in the outdoor media market, such as billboards and transit advertising, is set to soar this year, clocking 15 per cent growth year on year. Since it cannot be skipped by consumers or blocked in outdoor environments, the out-of-home (OOH) medium has remained the core channel to reach mass urban audiences.
Alok Jalan, Managing Director, Laqshya Media Group, “The OOH industry is ever evolving, and we have to change according to our clients ever changing needs. Like any other advertising medium, you can’t turn it off or turn the page or throw it in the bin. You can’t beat outdoor for sheer audience size, even a handful of strategically placed hoardings can get market penetration that beats any major event! Also, outdoor is high-impact as well as low-cost and they convey the message day or night and rain or shine.To stay ahead of the times, we are privileged to partner with a big international agency like Comkeys SAS of France to bring Mediakeys to India. We will start this engagement with Mediakeys in November 2018.”
