Stop Yelling... Start Whispering.A Revolutionary Audio Ad Medium.

Campaign Objective and Strategy

Star Plus wanted the right build-up for the show, ‘Music Ka Maha Muqqabla’, just before the show was aired.

StratosHear's innovative audio Ad Ring Back Tone (AdRBT) on mobile phones cut through the clutter of multiple

advertisements that swamp consumers, ensuring that the brand message did not get lost. The challenge was not only

to generate a high level of excitement for the new show but also to initiate a word of mouth propagation of the brand

message.

The campaign consisted of six creatives by well-known artists (such as Mika Singh, Himesh Reshamiya, Shreya

Ghoshal, Shaan ) with a catchy background tune. A consumer making a mobile phone call to an AdRBT subscriber got

to hear one out of six jingles of the show. The length of the jingles was kept at 12 seconds, ensuring that the brand

message went across in the average time taken by the called party to respond.

When Star Plus wanted to create a buzz among the masses for its new, star-studded reality show, it went in for a new audio advertising medium to generate a high level of excitement. This is the first time ever that the company tried out a new audio medium to reach out to its mass market audience by attracting the undivided attention of the consumer.

The Right Impact

StratosHear's AdRBT platform succeeded in providing:

VIRAL EFFECT: Callers heard the jingle when single-mindedly focused on the call. Since well-known artists

like Shankar Mahadevan and Himesh Reshammiya had recorded the message, they struck a

chord with the listeners and became a talking point once the call was answered, adding to

the campaign’s success.

EXTENSIVE REACH: The message reached a vast audience in high audio quality, thanks to the nature of the

AdRBT medium and the deep penetration of mobile phones in the country.

DELIVERY ASSURANCE: The monitoring system reduced spillover to zero by ensuring that the message was delivered

to the right consumer at the right time.
