This strategic alliance will bring Mediakeys brand to India

Laqshya Media Group announced a Strategic Alliance with Comkeys, the leading Independent  International communications group. Together they will bring, Mediakeys to the Market. Mediakeys is a specialized International Media Exchange which works with Brands to fulfil and execute across International Media Budgets.

Out of Home is a $29 billion market, accounting for approximately 6% of the $500 billion global advertising spending. As per a study by KPMG in India and Google, global cross-border B2C e-commerce is set to rise at 25 per cent CAGR to approximately USD1.5tn in 2022 and thus Indian brands are now looking at international markets.

With the consumerism and mobility among Indian audiences riding high, the OOH market is busy and bustling. Advertising expenditure in the outdoor media market, such as billboards and transit advertising, is set to soar this year, clocking 15 per cent growth year on year. Since it cannot be skipped by consumers or blocked in outdoor environments, the out-of-home (OOH) medium has remained the core channel to reach mass urban audiences.

Alok Jalan, Managing Director, Laqshya Media Group, “The OOH industry is ever evolving, and we have to change according to our clients ever changing needs. Like any other advertising medium, you can’t turn it off or turn the page or throw it in the bin. You can't beat outdoor for sheer audience size, even a handful of strategically placed hoardings can get market penetration that beats any major event! Also, outdoor is high-impact as well as low-cost and they convey the message day or night and rain or shine. To stay ahead of the times, we are privileged to partner with a big international agency like Comkeys SAS of France to bring Mediakeys to India. We will start this engagement with Mediakeys in November 2018.”

Speaking on the partnership, Paul Cahierre, Founder and CEO, Mediakeys said, “India is a strategically very important market for us and our clients. We have been long considering our options to enter this market. Laqshya provides us with the best in class capabilities to further support our growth in the region and to develop growing sales for Indian brands outside of India.”
