Overview
As the wheel of marketing continues to evolve, the process has only got more complicated thanks to technology, besides the arrival of new kinds of consumers. One solution for all is no longer the case as of today. Case in point, Google changing its policy on third-party cookie deprecation, thereby allowing users to switch on or off third-party cookies, the growth of CTV, besides television being a key screen for advertisers, in addition to other traditional media.
There are multiple reason behind the dynamic changes marketing is going through and once such reason is diverse formats of content including video, blogs, social media, and podcasts. At the same time, e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and Nykaa have created new avenues for advertising, allowing brands to engage customers directly on the platforms they shop. Not to mention, the user base has to evolved right from millennials, Gen-Zs and boomers.
Moreover, data and artificial intelligence (AI) are set to drive the next wave of personalised marketing in India. With AI-powered insights, marketers are able to understand consumer preferences and behaviours, enabling more precise targeting and tailored campaigns. This data-driven approach is key to improving customer engagement and delivering better return-on-investment (ROI).
