ET Media Labs prioritizes data integration and creative optimization in their advertising tool Adbytzz.
PremiumWith a down-to-earth marketing strategy, Flingo Technologies helped a small-scale startup not only manage its end meets but also step up toward the brand-building process in the intended market. “One of our clients received our advice on a plan, which was quite successful for them," said Flingo tech CEO Ankita Shrivastava.
Previously, the startup catered to the local market by selling plastic kitchenware under its brand name. Being at an initial stage, the company faced numerous problems due to which they contacted Flingo Technologies for a better marketing strategy, she told Livemint.
“After a lot of research, we concluded that despite the shop has been open for six months, very few people are aware of its existence. We proposed that they order a few non-biodegradable trash cans that were made to resemble their plastic cups and have their logo along with business information printed on them," Shrivastava said.
Hence, Flingo Technologies positioned the non-biodegradable trash cans in all of the neighborhood's busy spots which attracted a huge number of customers to their shop within just a few days.
She added, “People rushed towards the couples' shop out of curiosity, they were intrigued to learn who came up with the concept and that’s how the brand became well-known in their intended market."
On the other hand, ETML prioritizes data above everything else as the company's unique differentiator lies in our strong commitment to data, said Vibha Singh, Director- APAC, ET Media Labs.
“Our advertising tool Adbytzz serves as a true champion of efficiency when it comes to the complex task of data integration.
