Case studies

Campaigns we have run in Qsr / Quick Service Restaurant

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

Baskin Robbins · Food & Beverage

Store openings announced inside their own catchments

A new ice cream store has one job on day one, which is to tell the people within a few minutes of it that it exists. The creative did exactly that and nothing more, leading with the place name, now at Shirdi and now in Ravet, backed with the full address and phone number. Sites were taken on the approach roads into each catchment rather than on the highest-traffic road in the city, so the audience seeing the board could actually act on it.

What it delivered

Naming the locality rather than the brand promise makes the board read as news instead of advertising. Buying inside the catchment means almost none of the impressions are wasted on people too far away to visit, which matters when the whole purpose is footfall to one door.

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.
