Reliance’s new 3G drive @ high impact sites

A succinct and simple messagewith a dash of colour and a popular celebrity to boot, this is exactly what Reliance Communications has done to promote its 3G service on OOH. With the catchline “Reliance 3G speed @ 2G rates,a vibrant hoarding with a blue base colour and the image of Anuska Sharma as brand ambassador, the company’s new campaign has been kicked off across thirteen circles at major cities including Mumbai where it is seen at Sion flyover, Vile Parle (near airport)and Worli AB road. In Delhi, the campaign is strategically placed at the International airport and the NCR region, including Noida and Gurgaon, and in Kolkata at Gariahat road and PG Harish Mukherjee Road. In all, the campaign was seen at 485 properties across 338 locations including smaller town classes.

It has been strategically placed at various locationswhere the footfall is maximum, to create impact and a buzz among the target group. The campaign began on July 26, 2013 and was up for a month. Additionally, there is a separate high Impact outdoor plan running for Mumbai currently.

With a short and crisp messaging, the campaign manages to drive brand recall that easily gets registered in the mind of the target group, even without any of the out-of-box innovation in terms of formats.The campaign, has also seen Reliance coming into the outdoor space after a long time.

Prasun Kumar, Head – Brand, Communication and Insights, Reliance Communication,says speaking about the campaign “Reliance has launched an industry defining concept in data consumption – a first in industry initiative that will break all barriers and create data democracy with the Launch of 3G speed @ 2G rates.  All data customers will now be able to enjoy the benefits of 3G data services by simply paying the price of 2G. As always Reliance is again in the limelight of innovation.

The objective was to reach the target group by creating an impact with the new propositions offered by Reliance. Together with other media presence the OOH plan was necessary to sustain the punch in order to hold the attention of the target group even when they are on move.We identified high impact sites throughout cities and went out with a simple message – 3G speed @ 2G rates. And it delivered huge eyeballs and impact which were evident from the lacks of calls received at our call centers as well as the early 3G adoption rates which broke all records.
