Increasingly there’s a need for the customers to get more from the car and the city comes with so many challenges- bad rods, flood, etc. There is an inherent intimation of a traditional hatch by in where all you can take it. With Tiago NRG, the company aims to are open up the possibility of the car usage much more and is targeted at a customer with very active lifestyle who demand more from their car, enjoy long drives and go beyond the roads of the country.
Vivek-B Srivatsa, Head- Marketing, Passenger Cars at Tata Motors also mentions that the brand will have ATL and digital campaign in the coming week. OMD is the digital media buying agency on board while WatConsult works on the creatives. As far as media promotions are concerned Tata Motors will go quite traditional this time as they target 600 cities across the country. The marketing mix includes heavy promotions on Television, mainline daily and on digital.
Leveraging social media
Srivatsa stresses that the company has a big play on Twitter, Youtube and Facebook. "So we do believe that these digital platforms give us the required reach and at the same time we can focus on our TG as well. They give us a lot of data which enables us to focus on the kind of TG we want to go to. Facebook and Youtube get you to reach and really spread wide. Twitter is slightly different, we have to be very conversational and precise- great content which is interesting. The fourth social media platform that we are really focusing on is Instagram where we have a very differentiated presence with a few brands. What’s unique about our Instagram pages is that most of the content is developed by users. So our owners post content on Instagram pages and we strongly believe that on Instagram it has to be UGC and not from the company side. So each social platform has complete different strategy," adds Srivats
The company will be reaching out to influencers on Instagram for further promotions.
"We don't go with a fixed ratio. It depends on the type of car we launch. It depends on the what is the message we want to communicate with the product in hand also taking into consideration the time of the year. So it’s a very campaign specific decision that is taken," shared Srivatsa on the brand's digital media spends.
