Source signal, edited only for readability.
Three takeaways worth carrying forward.
- 01
Read social media as the primary operating question in this record.
- 02
Test its connection to data and measurement and relevance against the speaker’s reasoning in the transcript.
- 03
Keep the 2021 source context visible before carrying the lesson into a current decision.
What the transcript puts on the table.
I think that's a wonderful example of getting people to shop locally.
We went ahead and created separate sort of, you know, video feeds, so it was almost like calling the video a fake and then putting them out on YouTube.
AdBury, not just an ad, was a wonderful example of how data could be mined and it was hyper-personalization very interestingly.
Original context. Current reading.
Recorded in 2021, this captures the language, platforms and constraints of its time. Read it now by separating those period-specific details from the enduring operating question: how should attention and relevance improve the decision?
Durable tests for the work.
- Earn attention with relevance before scaling reach.
- Start from the customer’s situation, not the channel.
What would you keep, change or measure differently if this campaign analysis were put to work now?

AdBury, not just an ad, was a wonderful example of how data could be mined and it was hyper-personalization very interestingly. I think it deserves all the accolades it gets. It's a very sort of brave overture. And not just that, it was something because time had come. We've all been privy to a campaign that I recollect being very fond of, which happened eons ago. AMX Small Business Saturdays. This was almost akin to that. You're taking the local and pop shops, whether it's opticians or dwellers and saree shops. And when you're browsing through this, there are ads pop up in the YouTube feed or the Facebook feed. And I think that's a wonderful example of getting people to shop locally.
And that's a wonderful example of hyper-personalization and creative use of data. That's one campaign from India that we listed out for. Very early into the lockdown for Spaces from Wellspun, which is a bed and bath linen brand. As early in April, we launched a campaign called Safe Spaces, which was all about providing a safe space for people who had mental health issues. And we enlisted the help of a clinical psychologist out of Prirna Kooli in conversation with Mandira Bedi, who, as we all know, is a fitness icon. And then we went to town going on Instagram live, going on Facebook live, where we invited questions before and during these live sessions from our target audience. And the participation was then amazing, right?
Then we created surround content around it, where we, you know, people who square is, we were not in a position to respond to during the course of the live sessions. We went ahead and created separate sort of, you know, video feeds, so it was almost like calling the video a fake and then putting them out on YouTube. So that was a campaign which was very dear to our heart. Not only was it timely, but it was very useful. It also won us medals and a few awards shows. But to me, the biggest sort of metric of its success was the fact that it was something that people could relate to and they participated in a big way. So that's a big part of the video.
