At the debut edition of D-CODE, 13 Industry champions will crack the code on the best performing digital campaigns
Indian brands have undergone a digital awakening with digital engagement and innovation being an integral part of every brand’s core marketing strategy. With over 400M Indians online, digital is now truly mainstream. And brands are leveraging this massive reach to drive business impact. The government’s call for a technology-conscious ‘Digital India’ coupled with the increased penetration of phones and affordability of data have given further impetus to the digital growth agenda.
Addressing the drivers of the tectonically shifting brand ecosystem, The Advertising Club has announced the debut edition of its India Digital Review: D-CODE. The review will be held on 1st August, 2018, 5.30 pm onwards at Taj Lands End, Mumbai.
