Guest Column: Rajiv Dubey, Head of Media, Dabur India, breaks down how some errant channels have been exploiting the landing page for views and why BARC should tackle this menace
The second landing page, or LP2, has a very small cost since it is available only for a short duration and hence might not add to the viewership of the channel
Marketers believe the ratings that happen due to the use of landing page are meaningless as what matters to them is the amount of traction that their campaign receives
Guest Column: Niraj Ruparel, Head of Mobile & Emerging Tech – GroupM India, Emerging Tech Lead - WPP India, says today’s customers expect personalized, immersive and context-rich experiences
While some industry observers say it is common knowledge that landing page is a marketing mechanism, others say prohibiting landing pages is not the solution to this prolonged debate
The network reiterated that landing pages are a marketing tool permitted by the law in India and is used across the world by broadcasters and advertisers to market themselves to viewers
As part of e4m Conclave, Anand, MD & CEO, Times Network, said they are contemplating legal action on BARC's decision to mitigate landing page influence on TV viewership
