Elaborating on the campaign, Tyagi adds, "We are spending a large sum on the advertising campaign which is spread across various mediums. Radio was chosen as one of the mediums of the campaign because of its wide spread reach. FM radio as a media channel has re-invented itself with huge popularity in recent years. We have seen the trend of people increasingly following this medium and engaging with it. We tied up with Radio Mirchi for advertsing because of its reach in various cities across the country."

The jingle was created by the in-house marketing communication team of Indiamart with inputs from Mirchi's in house team. "We had developed the script and then creative team of Mirchi added on to it. It is a combined effort from both," he adds.
