Approach
A campaign’s approach can be decided by analyzing the following major details:
● The end objective of the campaign- The objective of myBillBook’s campaign was to create brand awareness.
● The target audience of the brand- myBillBook is a billing and accounting software that was built for small to medium businesses and business owners so that they could digitize their business processes.
● The geography where the campaign will run- The campaign was run PAN India.
The above mentioned points can give us an understanding about myBillBook’s brand positioning in the market. With the tagline ‘India’s No. 1 GST Billing and Accounting software’ and the target audience that they serve, it’s clear that the brand is all about India and India’s small to medium-sized business owners. Hence, a campaign like this would benefit the most by running on a platform that supports the same vision and target audience. Since the campaign had to run PAN India, digital was most optimum medium.
Solution
Keeping in mind the brand’s requirements, the digital platform KOO was selected for the campaign execution. KOO is a microblogging platform, similar to Twitter but for local language speakers in India.
The idea behind KOO’s origin was to create an Indian alternative to Twitter. Its vision, therefore, draws parallel to Modi’s vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ or a self-sufficient India, which the platform aims to extend to the internet and social media.
Why was KOO the most suitable choice for myBillBook’s campaign?
The brand positioning of KOO and myBillBook share a similarity- a made in India platform, exclusively for the Indian audience, with a vision of making India atmanirbhar or self-sufficient.
In the campaign, myBillBook thanked every Indian business owner who contributed towards making India ‘atmanirbhar’. With both the platforms sharing a similar target audience- starting from the local, small community on the grassroot level, it only made sense to run the campaign on Koo rather than any other digital platform.
The wide consumer base of KOO reflects and appreciates the swadeshi vision of both the brands and were therefore considered the perfect target audience for this campaign.
Due to this strong sense of nationalistic element in their vision, the campaign was well timed to go live on the 75th Indian Independence Day (2022) to align it with the strong emotion of patriotism and nationalism of the Independence day.
The campaign on KOO consisted of a 30 sec video ad in two languages- English and Hindi.A crucial point to note is that myBillBook’s Independence day campaign of 2022 was KOO’s first ever ad campaign with which they ventured into the advertising market. Never before did KOO run any ad campaign, making this one a partnership worth remembering for both the brands.
