The biggest TV event - IPL has started, and we know how special this season is going to be, amidst all the chaos of the pandemic. For media planners and advertisers, the game is on.
Even though most Indian fans cannot be present on the field, audiences are going to be hooked on Television or digital streaming platforms. This gives an even greater opportunity for brands to engage with IPL audiences through efficient media planning.
Now let’s take a look at the top target segments that marketers should not miss while planning their campaigns:
