Using mobiles to advertise in media dark areas

Launched in October, 2013, Kan Khajura Tesan (KKT) is a unique marketing campaign for Hindustan Unilever Ltd. using mobile phones. The campaign is aimed at reaching consumers in media dark regions, that is, where the ratio of available entertainment options (TV, print, radio) are low compared to rest of the country. KKT was conceived to take advantage of the fact that while TV reaches only 23 million households, mostly urban, mobile phones reach double that – 54 million households of which nearly 50% are rural households.

KKT has brought about a communication revolution in these markets by creating a single number that provided always on demand free entertainment. HUL adverts were integrated with the content.

To access the entertainment content the consumer is required to give a “Missed call” (the call here gets disconnected automatically after the two initial rings) on 1800-30-000-123. He is then called back where some content, which includes among others an RJ speak, jokes, and Bollywood songs. Hence, giving the entertainment hungry audience exactly what they want.

So far, KanKhajuraTesan, has reached out to more than 33 million subscribers across India. In total, till date it has clocked 700 million minutes of engagement with consumers. HUL ads have been heard 380 million times in the last 15 months.

In 2014 KKT focused on intelligent analysis of platform data collated from users’ past interactions to create enhanced user experience, dynamic content delivery and customized programming capsules.

KKT piloted the channel in Bihar and Jharkhand, but its wild popularity encouraged them to open the dial-in number to the entire country. Now anyone within India can call in and enjoy the content in Hindi language. The callers got access to free entertainment and HUL is able to break out of the vicious share of voice (SOV) battle.
