Lockdown relief using branded content – an effective strategy?

After the initial lethargy of the Lockdown, stay at home consumers have figured out new ways to amuse themselves. This is reflected in Google and YouTube search results, where queries about cooking recipes, workout from home, educational content, and DIY have shot up.

According to a Mindshare + Vidooly report, the infotainment, news & politics, entertainment and comedy genres have shot up. The age group of audiences is between 18 and 34 years, a much-coveted segment by advertisers.

One way to reach these audiences is via advertising on social platforms, but brands are leveraging branded content to create value in the lives of their consumers and surreptitiously strengthen the brand awareness and positioning.
