With a larger than life overview of Hatim’s adventure and use of high

Indian Tv. The show is produced by makers of the ‘Mahadev’ which
has been a tremendous success on the channel.

The show was launched with the objective of targeting the youth
and Females not only in Metro’s and Large Towns but also in

OOH, and bring out the character’s physical strength, wisdom and
generosity through the platform of adventure and register the launch
of the new show and generate high level of awareness amongst the

Idea & Role of OOH

available
• Translating to OOH
– Play on scale and impact to drive initial viewership
– To ensure that the grandeur of the show to be translated to OOH
– To bring out the character’s physical strength, wisdom and generosity
through the platform of adventure – “Adventures of Hatim”
Outdoor – Specific creative strategy(ies)
by market and / or demography :•
Since the primary objective was to ensure that Adventures of Hatim is
registered well with the audience thus all creative’s for OOH were done in a
way that ‘Hatim’ was the real hero and stood out in all creative renditions.
•
There were various media formats used in the campaign like unipoles,
mobile vans, and billboards. The creative were rendered to use create a
larger than life cut out depicting the strength of Hatim. The creative were
also rendered to the extent where Hatim is lifting the Billboard on his
shoulders and also the billboard is cut into pieces by Hatim using his sword.
The key thought process was to envisage the adventures and strength of
Hatim through the Out of Home media.
•
The brief was to create a high visibility and cutter breaking campaign.
•
The campaign was planned in such a way that it had very high impact
translating in to High OTS and Innovation as a impact/buzz multiplier.

Media strategy:•
The Strategy was to create aura of large format media inventory only. For Mumbai
and Delhi which are the key markets for trade we used normal print depicting a 3D
image view on all the hoardings.
•
Apart from using the large format hoarding our attempt was to leave no stones
unturned to attract the eyeballs in the form of various cutouts with 3D effects and LED
lights.
•
Various innovations in Mumbai and Delhi were executed -Hatim lifting the billboard on
his shoulder, Hatim tearing the billboard with his sword, Larger than life cut out.
•
The campaign also showcased an innovation in the form of creating a 3 dimensional
Hatim on billboard. We created a larger than life 3d body of Hatim. Hatim is
showcased as he jumps from the top tearing and smashing the billboard into pieces.
This depicted the strength and adventures of Hatim .
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS :The campaign was for duration of 10 days and was implemented across Mumbai, Delhi, Gujarat 1mn+, UP.1mn+ cities.
Only large format hoardings, gantries were used to create impact and Scale.
Solution
• For most innovations executed – Hatim’s pose / placement, etc.
designed by Bates
• To execute the designs proposed, one day of special shoot was
organised for Hatim
• No sites were taken for coverage of the city. Rather, best sites of the
city / higher impactful sites were considered. The idea was to take
fewer number of medias, creating higher impact.
Challenges
• The show had various elements which could have been made
available to create the story highlighting Hatim’s adventure- like 7
quest 7 answers but we had restricted not to use it until the 3 week.
To show the strength and adventure with the available creative was
the biggest challenge.
• The timelines for fabricating the 3D sculptor, large cutout was a
challenge as well. The turnaround time for the fabrication work and
installation at the venue for the innovations was just 3 days.
• The entire campaign had more than 150 media touch points. The
campaign was installed in just 2 days across markets.
Effectiveness
• The campaign achieved the desired objective of initial opening nos.
The Reach achieved was 5.5, while the TVR Ratings achieved
were 2.2.
• Shows like Jhalak Dikhlaja having known celebrities achieved an
opening TVR of 2.5 and Mahadev the lead show of the channel
achieved the TVR of 2.7 after 10 months of its existence.
• This formed a successful instance of a television channel using
extensive and innovative outdoor advertising in order to promote its
“Big ticket P1” show.
