    ITC’s brand B Natural Juices and Beverages has dedicated a video that celebrates the spirit of Indianness, through an emotional rendition of the patriotic song ‘Vande Mataram’. The video has been released on the brand’s Facebook, YouTube and Instagram handles with the hashtag #ShareAndRespect

     

    Commenting on the initiative, Sanjay Singal, Chief Operating Officer, Dairy & Beverages, Foods Division, ITC Ltd said: “Since its inception, B Natural’s endeavour has been to redefine the way packaged beverages have been consumed in India. Last year the brand made a paradigm shift when it moved its entire fruit beverage portfolio to ‘Not from Concentrate’, which in essence meant we strengthened our long-standing relations with the Indian farmers by procuring and processing 100% Indian fruit and delighting Indian consumers with fruit beverages made truly and only from the fruit pulp, not from concentrates. The video is a reflection of our unwavering commitment towards empowering a self-sustainable economy through sustainable and inclusive value chains.”

    AdEx 2011-12: Print grows 14%, TV 11%, Radio 0%

    This is perhaps the shortest Big Story you’ve read in the eight-month existence of MxMIndia. But then more than words, it’s numbers that have got to do to the talking.

     

    MxMIndia requested TAM Media Research which painstakingly computes data for ad volumes for the television, print and radio sectors. The growth figures are indicative of how these are doing: print isn’t down and out yet with 14%, TV is growing but it’s not as dramatic as we thought it would and Radio hasn’t degrown. In fact we must urge radio practitioners to interpret the 0% in a positive way because there were enough naysayers willing to rubbish the potential of the business.

     

    Note: the analysis is based on ad , that is duration in seconds/CCMs and excludes promos.
