Case studies

Campaigns we have run in Agriculture

Work we planned, booked and photographed for advertisers in this sector, run by the same team and the same process you would work with.

Sumichem · Agriculture

State transport bus branding timed to the soybean sowing window

Crop protection sells inside a narrow window, so the media had to move through the farming districts rather than sit in one town. Full side and rear panels were taken on state transport buses working the soybean routes, carrying the Maxx herbicide message in Marathi and timed to the sowing weeks when the decision is actually made. A bus covers the market road, the taluka stop and the village halt on every trip, which is the same circuit a farmer makes before buying.

What it delivered

One bus reaches the market town, the taluka and the village on each run, so a fixed budget covered a spread of rural stops that fixed hoardings in the same districts could not. Holding the creative in Marathi and pinning it to the sowing window meant the message landed while the purchase was live.

Methodology & notes

Built from 18 industry-standard ad-monitoring and research sources. Every figure is a count of ads recorded, not rupees, because ad cost is not comparable between TV, radio, print and online. Geography (cities) covers print, radio and outdoor only. Updated monthly. Full methodology →

Coverage: these figures reflect the advertising we were able to track across our data sources, a large sample but not every ad placed in India. Treat them as a directional, relative picture, not an absolute or complete record.
