Since the very beginning, the pitch was divided into two phases- strategy and creative. Six agencies were a part of the first round of presentations for strategy. Three agencies made it to the final round of presentations of the creative. The brief, an extremely detailed one, was quite clear in terms of the kind of positioning that the company wished to have.
Network24 is looking at a 360 degree communications solution to tap its audience – print, radio, out-of-home, Internet, new media, and below-the-line activities.
Radio Dhamaal, the radio biz, is one of the other properties run by the group, which shall be brought under the Network24 banner. The venture holds licenses for 10 cities. The company has also forayed into content creation and new media, and is looking forward to their launch in digital and mobile content. However, none of these properties were not up for pitch.
