“Our segments are very varied but IPL on digital has allowed me to be able to focus and drive the right content to the right audience through targeted marketing. The level of personalization and the targeting that you can achieve is amazing.”
“It’s great consumer experience that’s adding a lot more numbers. Forget Hindi and English, which is quite common, but there’s Bhojpuri and even Punjabi, which are actually giving a lot more numbers. So, from a language perspective, it’s great immersive stuff for marketers,”
one other official said.
