“When it comes to big-ticket events like IPL, marketeers get only one chance to create a campaign that perfectly targets their audience in the context of that event. This means, they should rely on hard data more than intuition when developing creatives and crafting the right brand message. Data lets us analyse what worked in the past, as well as upcoming trends, and gives us a better shot at connecting with customers,” said Rohan Ayyar, Regional Marketing Manger- India, SEMrush.
