Bus shelters that announce a diagnostic centre by address

A diagnostic centre is chosen by proximity, so the creative gave the reader the two things that decide it: what the centre does and exactly where it is. Bus shelter headers carried the arrival line with the service list, blood tests, radiology and health check-ups, and the address by landmark and road. Panels underneath showed the equipment, because the machine in the room is the argument in this category.

What it delivered

Landmark addressing works where a street name alone does not, and a bus shelter is read by people waiting in the very catchment the centre serves. Showing the scanner rather than only naming the service answers the question a patient is actually asking.

Where the volume moved, quarter by quarter

Ad volume indexed against the opening quarter = 100, inside one collection batch. The 2026 exports are not on the same footing, so the trend stays within the 12 months to September 2025 rather than crossing that boundary.

The preferred medium

67.8% is print

Print captured the highest share of the sector’s ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025, at 67.8% of estimated television, print and radio spend. Digital sits outside this split because TAM prices it on a different scale; it is reported by ad count instead.

Print 67.8%
Television 30.7%
Radio 1.6%

A plan that skips print buys a smaller share of this category’s voice than the headline spend suggests.

Methodology & notes

Built from 18 industry-standard ad-monitoring and research sources. Every number here is a count of ads recorded: how many ads the brand ran and where they ran. We do not publish rupees, because the cost figures in the data are not comparable between TV, radio, print and online. City figures cover print, radio and outdoor, the media bought market by market. Reference lines show the category average. Updated monthly. Full methodology →
