MiD DAY also was the only Indian publication to be awarded gold at the IFRA Cross Media Marketing Awards 2008 held at Amsterdam.u00a0
MiD DAY was awarded the prestigious IFRA Asia Award for a campaign designed for its client VISA.
For its regular client Pizza Hut, Visa had come up with an offer where diners could enjoy up to 40 per cent off on meals by paying with a VISA card.
The brief was to come up with a solution to communicate this message creatively, and engagingly. MiD DAY delivered the message with an impact cover (a page 1 and 2 jacket), combined with ground activation, where promoter boys dressed as chefs stood outside 32 Pizza Hut outlets in Mumbai, once again reminding them of the offer.
Says Manajit Ghoshal, CEO MiD DAY Infomedia Limited, "This has been a challenging year for newspapers worldwide, and to see the high quality of marketing work is indeed heartening. Year on year wins from prestigious international forums like IFRA & INMA are a testimony to the excellent value and innovative solutions delivered by MiD DAY to clients."
Adds Neville Bastawalla, Head, Marketing MiD DAY Infomedia, "MiD DAY strongly believes in working with advertisers to deliver marketing messages that create maximum impact on the target audience. Our marketing innovations and 360 degree solutions amplify their brand and their message and ensure that their marketing rupee works harder for them."
