CEAT
We launched an Automotive industry-first for CEAT - a blockchain-powered campaign that reduced ad-fraud and increased viewability.
Challenge
Ad Fraud is industry-wide
In India, 22% of digital spend is lost to ad fraud every year. That amounts to almost $453 million and the crisis was affecting our client, CEAT Tyres. “SAFETY = CEAT Tyres” is their brand promise, and they wanted to take this philosophy throughout their marketing efforts. Their ambition was to create a safe media ecosystem whilst celebrating their product - the MilazeX3 that lasts up to 1 Lakh Km*.
Solution
Finding the perfect audience
The campaign creative idea addressed how changing tyre is the last in priority for Car owners, and CEAT tyres last a long time - up to 1 Lakh Km*. Normally in India, Digital Media works through audiences being defined on the basis of their browsing from cookies. But we wanted to ensure minimum spillage and reach CEAT's target audience with high accuracy, so we partnered with AdsDax, a blockchain advertising platform, where we scrubbed down the master audience sets to find the most relevant subsets of consumers. The remaining audience cookies were targeted on the basis of categories more relevant to CEAT customers. e.g. in-market consumers of tyres, car accessories, etc. using the nuances of the creative.
