Outdoor media marketing plays a crucial role in a comprehensive marketing strategy. It offers broad reach, constant exposure, and the ability to target specific geographic areas effectively. Additionally, it can enhance brand visibility, increase brand awareness, and reinforce messaging when integrated with other marketing channels. With vehicular traffic increasing by the day, Its impact is being felt in both urban and rural areas.
Kanthi D Suresh, President HIPSA, said that Outdoor media marketing would be an important part of the overall marketing plan for Pravasi Sports. It would not only make people in India aware of the talent that exists amongst our Indian diaspora living outside, but it would also be a nice experience to all the Pravasi players, many of them, perhaps coming to India for the first time, she said. We think Mera hoardings with its vast experience in Sports Outdoor media, is the perfect choice and value addition to all our events, with our outdoor media marketing plan having a Pan India presence and a few chosen global markets, said Kanthi
