The Chrome Digital Advertising Report (CPM vs ER) was launched at the 2nd Annual Summit on Branding and Marketing, organized by ASSOCHAM.

The theme of the summit was "Brand Building in the Age of Technology,"

With focused attention from marketers and advertisers across the region, and India being the largest population base of younger audiences in the world, the mega-market of cross device audiences was at the centre of the debate. While broadcast TV remains effective, stakeholders have often expressed the need to shape strategies that accommodate the cross device unique audiences and duplication in streaming.

The Chrome DM panel, representing 1174.54 million internet/C&S individuals in India, used a hybrid process of assembling online surveys and tracking content by means of digital fingerprinting technology to collect data. The surveys were conducted using an in-house mobile application developed for online surveys that tracks the viewing trends across a sample size of 82,147 respondents. The data is accessible to clients in the form of excel reports weekly.

The report highlighted that the incremental reach provided by all platforms, including digital, was almost as high as 60% of linear broadcast in certain cases of news genre. This meant that advertisers and publishers need to track and gauge the actual reach of content, which was substantially higher than the conventionally reported pure linear broadcast.

One example of this was the "News genre," where AAJ TAK dominated overall reach with 343.07 million individuals across all end-points, i.e. digital and linear. In digital reach, AAJ TAK ranks on top at 12.43% with 145.95 million individuals in the month of Dec’22.

As the world shifts its gears towards digital, the summit concluded that the transition from C&S to digital must be accompanied by advances in measurement technology. Revenues would sway towards digital, and to mark a systematic transition for this industry, TV creatives on connected streams could potentially be billed on ERs against CPMs.

BCW and NYF Partner Unveil Entry Campaign That Embodies NYC’s In-Your-Face-Attitude

New York Festivals Advertising Awards® and BCW have partnered on a bold Call for Entry campaign that challenges entrants to “Show Us Something We Haven’t Seen,” work that would make even the most jaded advertising executive – or New Yorker – stop and take notice.

BCW’s creative team of Global Chief Creative Officer Fede Garcia; Diego Bertagni, Executive Vice President and Executive Creative Director, North America; and David Holman, Group Creative Director, North America, and their colleagues created a vivid print and film campaign that embraces New York’s in-your-face attitude and its rich history of culture and creativity.

The creative showcases the vibrant, challenging, exhilarating 24-hour urban existence of New Yorkers – an existence that is routinely punctuated by scenes of the brazen and genuinely absurd. In making the campaign, BCW partnered with street photographers and videographers who have a long and enduring relationship with the city and its “wildlife.”

In one execution, a completely naked woman is seen exiting a taxi. In another, a pinstripe-suited executive answers email on his e-reader while hanging upside down on a crowded subway. In another, a heavily armed police officer stands on the street to a pink-tinted chicken that is wearing a necklace. View the print campaign HERE.

“Since 1957 NYF has celebrated work from around the globe that embodies the breakthrough, avant-garde attitude of the city that New York Festivals calls home,” said Scott Rose, President, New York Festivals Advertising Competitions. “BCW’s bold campaign tapped New York City photographers whose images embraced NYC’s urban vibe and shined a revealing light on the hustle and the no bullsh*t attitude that fosters creative excellence in NYC.”

Added Fede Garcia, Global Chief Creative Officer, BCW, “If you’re going to submit something to the New York Festivals, it better be mind-boggling, it better be fresh, it better be groundbreaking. Gotham City has seen it all, so go all in and show us ‘something we haven’t seen before.’”

BCW engaged Henry DaCosta to direct and edit the film portion of the campaign, a two-minute New York manifesto that is an ode to all things fast, chaotic, beautiful, real and edgy life that are New York.

“The print and film campaigns challenge our entrants to enter their boldest work that’s worthy of the city where creativity reigns and where getting attention is almost impossible,” said Rose.

“Show Us Something We Haven’t Seen” is running via a full social media campaign. View the entire campaign HERE.

The early bird deadline to enter the 2023 New York Festivals Advertising Awards is March 10, 2023. For more information on categories, rules and regulations or to enter your work, visit HERE.

The New York Festivals Advertising Awards competition receives entries from more than 60 countries worldwide and is judged by an international jury of more than 400 members of NYF’s Executive Jury and Grand Jury. These juries collectively cast their votes to select the year’s trophy-winning work.
