We selected hoardings and other static media at the arterial points. The bus branding added to the high recall value for the campaign through simple communication. We kept the creative very precise and made the logo and the name bold so that it is visible and gets the attention of people who are commuting. Mostly we took large format hoardings and at most of the iconic locations to attract maximum eyeballs.”
