Case studies

Campaigns we have run in News Papers / Magazines

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

Release campaign assets for a theatrical slate

A theatrical release runs on a compressed calendar where every format needs the same frames in different shapes. The campaign assets were built from the film itself, cutting key art and campaign stills into the sizes the release plan needed, so outdoor, digital and press all carried a consistent look through the release window rather than drifting apart as each medium was produced separately.

What it delivered

Working from one asset set keeps the film recognisable across every surface it appears on, which matters when a release is bought in a fortnight. It also removes the production delay that usually costs a release its first week of visibility.

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.
