Campaigns we have run for brands like Indian Overseas Bank

A campaign we planned, booked and photographed for another advertiser in BFSI, run by the same team and the same process you would work with.

Tamilnad Mercantile Bank · BFSI (Banking, Finance & Insurance)

Small-format deposit ads in the Gujarati dailies

A deposit scheme is bought on one number, so the unit did not need size, it needed placement and repetition. Small-format ads ran in Gujarat Samachar and Divya Bhaskar leading with the 567 day scheme and its 7.75 per cent rate, with a QR code and a toll free number so a reader could act without leaving the page. Buying small units in the two largest Gujarati dailies bought frequency in the market rather than one large appearance.

What it delivered

Rate shoppers compare, so being present repeatedly in the papers they read matters more than dominating a single issue. The QR code turned a print unit into a measurable route, which is unusual for a small-format press buy.

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 We do not publish rupees, because the cost figures in the data are not comparable between TV, radio, print and online.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