Commenting on the acquisition, Pawan Bansal, Chief Operating Officer of Jagran Engage, said, “We are delighted to have obtained the exclusive rights of Metro line in this city to further extend our media resources portfolio and capture the business opportunities. We have a bold vision for the Lucknow Metro that will transform the look and feel of advertising in the city, and the way that brands engage with consumers. This coupled with our inventory gives advertisers a valuable way to reach the highly sought after transit audience”.

“The Contract enables us to create an end-to-end media exposure strategy to capture the vast volume of commuters. Moving forward, we will continue looking for new corporation opportunities and optimise our existing media resources to create greater value for our clients,” he added.

As well as handling posters, bridge and duct panels and other traditional formats, Jagran Engage has rights to install “responsive digital screens” in Metro stations, which will be able to carry different ad campaigns according to the time of day in an attempt to target consumers more effectively.

Stressing on the first mover advantage these exclusive rights will offer in terms of client acquisition, Tanmay Tiwari, Associate Vice President, Jagran Engage added “This stretch of Metro caters to affluent airport traffic coupled with high millennial traveler traffic flowing in from ISBT and Lucknow Junction railway station, a highly sought after target audience by clients today.”
