Digital activation across social media platforms

Media and PR integration and activations

Extensive outdoor branding and activations

The aggressive, four-week long campaign conceptualised by Infectious will tap into mass media channels such as television, print and radio. The campaign will be amplified on a bouquet of digital platforms and social media via heavy use of native content platforms. The hashtag #BeeskaTV will be leveraged across digital platforms to drive its key value proposition. In addition, there will be partnerships with complementary brands through integrations and celebrity endorsements. The TVC focuses on how all members of a household can now access television at their convenience. It will be promoted on social media as well.

Commenting on the campaign, Archana Anand, Business Head, dittoTV, said, “With the new avatar of dittoTV, we are looking at changing the way India indulges in its favourite pastime, that is, watching television. With a price point of Rs 20, we see dittoTV serving as people’s first and only screen, as their second screen at home, or just a personal TV on the go. Our campaign embodies strong consumer insight and interesting slice-of-life situations. It is designed in a manner that conveys this simple message effectively across the length and breadth of the country, through a combination of mass media and strategic marketing.”

To ensure that live television is within the reach of every Indian, it has joined forces with Idea Cellular to offer its users of 3G and 4G Internet packs a free monthly subscription with every recharge. It has also partnered with Siti Cable, IITZ Cash, MCof and E-Zone. These strategic alliances will enable dittoTV to strengthen its distribution and subscriber base.

Ramanuj Shastry, Co-founder & Director, Infectious, commented, “‘#BeeskaTV’ is what we want people to remember dittoTV as. A value proposition of access, articulated in accessible, everyday language. dittoTV will change the ‘who, what, when and where’ of live TV viewing. We are proud to be part of a concept which is so revolutionary.”

Nisha Singhania, Co-founder & Director, Infectious, added here, “Rs 20 per month is an unbelievable price point and our communication focuses on just that – how you can watch live TV on the go, no matter where you are, at Rs 20 per month. The TVC brings alive the various situations in which dittoTV can ensure people don’t miss out on their favourite programmes.”
