Home First Finance Company · BFSI (Banking, Finance & Insurance)

Tamil auto branding for a home loan without income proof

Home First lends to buyers who often cannot produce a salary slip, and that is the whole proposition. The creative said it plainly in Tamil, that a home loan is possible without income proof and that approval takes two days, and it went on auto-rickshaw rear panels so it sat in front of the vehicle behind for the length of every signal. Autos work the residential roads and market streets where the self-employed customer base lives and trades.

What it delivered

A rear panel is read at a standstill, which is the right place for a message that needs two lines rather than a glance. Putting it in Tamil, on the vehicle that serves those neighbourhoods, kept the cost per contact low while reaching exactly the borrower the product was built for.

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

70.6% is print

Print captured the highest share of the sector’s ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025, at 70.6% 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 70.6%
Television 27.0%
Radio 2.4%

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 We do not publish rupees, because the cost figures in the data are not comparable between TV, radio, print and online.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 →
