Welcome to the first edition of Arnon Media

Advertising and branding has grown into a vast network today and keeping that in mind, the

need for a media that provides relevant knowledge and information about branding solutions

was inevitable. Welcome to the first edition of Arnon Media, a magazine focused solely on

advertising and branding. The need of the hour is to grand productive knowledge on advertising

trends, the position of a brand in the market and strategies to boost the same. Brands have

become solely focused on the rat rate to gain the attention of the customers and to place their

products at a position that is higher than their competitors. The aim of Arnon Media is to give a

clear edge on effective branding and marketing methods and to give entrepreneurs an idea

about the current market trends. We hope our magazine provides readers an outlook on the

branding industry and the issues that they face.

wo big events marked last month for
our industry. One was SPIA’s (Sign Printing Industries Association) 6th State Conference which took place from Nov 6, 2022 at CIAL Trade Fair and Exhibition Centre, Kochi, Kerala. The participation and cooperation of all the members in making the conference
a success is something to be proud of. The conference was inaugurated by V D Satheesan, Leader of Opposition of Kerala who offered every possible help on the problems faced by the industry including the flex ban. Let’s hope for the good!

Sign India Kerala edition to take place from November 4-6 at Kochi
Although the threat of the pandemic has not yet been over, it is delighting to
see life is back in track. Regarding the industry, expos are back. We were able to take part in Media Expo New Delhi 2022 and Sign India Chennai 2022. The restrictions were
in place at both places and we thought it could drain out the experience. However the organisers were able to create interesting experiences
and innovations under the restrictions at both places. You can find more details and interesting pictures of both in the inside pages.
The festival season is around the corner and brands are actively booking hoardings at prime locations to carry out their new campaigns. There is no doubt that OOH will have renewed interest among the brands and organisations
as the restrictions of the pandemic have almost lifted. As more and more people get out in the public, the hoardings will attract new consumers. Indian Signage industry is set to grow exponentially in the coming years. As many
retail outlets are expanding their footprint in the country it could lead to the development of the area with better infrastructure. The high-volume consumption of retail goods in the country also points out that the brands will have to find and adopt innovative ways to stay ahead of the game. The signage industry has an inevitable role in the marketing and advertising of these products.
Digital signage is gaining more and more demand from brands and advertisers. The easiness to handle them makes it the best option for them.

olks, this issue of Arnon Media magazine is more of a Dubai special. Yes, we
have covered Dubai Expo and the
OOH scenario in Dubai. The increasing popularity of Digital OOH in Dubai is the third story on Dubai. Dubai Expo is once-in-a-
lifetime experience. The architectural marvel it presents along with technology is a marvellous experience. The expo will end in this month.
So, we recommend everyone who has the opportunity to visit it to not miss it.
Dubai’s OOH scenario is pretty fascinating. Since it is very organised and licensed, it is easier to advertise. Unlike India where there are unauthorised billboards and hoardings, Dubai is well organised and is a relief. Advertisements are put only in the places meant for it. Dubai is fast embracing Digital OOH and we have an article about it too.
Arnon Media Interior is the sister concern
of Arnon Media Pvt Ltd. The interior division work including the construction of false ceiling, putty work, painting, partition work, aluminium barricade work, construction of tables and rows, signage, LED signage, sticker printing, vinyl printing etc are all done with perfection by Arnon Interior. The prestigious Lulu Bengaluru project was a feather in the cap of Arnon Interior which lasted almost 3 years. (Lulu Bengaluru was inaugurated in December 2020.) Arnon Interior is now working on the prestigious Lulu Lucknow project. There are several projects in pipeline for Arnon Interior at various locations in Kerala and Karnataka apart from this.

The major news from the industry in the past month was the Media Expo New Delhi 2021. The 47th edition of Media Expo has created an avenue for top decision makers from the marketing, advertising, signage and OOH industry. Held at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida from 18-20 November, Media Expo New Delhi 2021 concluded as
a crucial business avenue for the physical advertising fraternity with more than 100 brands under its belt.
Another news to rejoice was the top consumer companies decision to increase
the advertising spend. It will surely help the advertising and OOH industry in the revival. During the beginning of the pandemic many companies cut down the advertising budget
in a way to decrease the loss. However the companies now have learned that without branding or advertising activities they might lose their brand share. Let us hope that the industry recovers fast.
LED display stands is now gaining more acceptance among the brands and companies. The numerous benefits of it go well with the OOH industry in aiding branding activities. The long lifespan and affordability feature of LED has contributed much in its growth among the brands and consumer companies. Do check out our article in this issue.
Lastly, I wish you all merry Christmas and a great year ahead!

The best news to the industry came in
the form of an event which took place from September 17-19, 2021 at Palace Grounds, Bengaluru. Yes, Sign Today 2021 Bengaluru edition! It was one of the
events which took place in India after Covid 19 pandemic created havoc. Although traders from abroad were absent due to the travel restrictions, there were enough products and technologies
to compensate their absence. We can hope that very soon we will be able to meet up without restrictions and discuss about the latest trends in indoor, outdoor advertising and signage industry.
Another thing on which I would like to
bring your attention is on ‘brand activism.’
What is brand activism? How does it influence consumers? How does it contribute to a brand’s growth? Well, take a look inside to know more about brand activism. It is something not to be ignored. Although brand activism is a major factor in the west, the trend is faster catching
up with us and now there are more and more consumers who are aware of brand activism and who care about it.

Folks, it is the beginning of the harvest festival in India. Onam, the harvest festival of southernmost state Kerala marks the beginning of harvest festival in the country. In a way, it is the litmus test for the rest of the markets as all markets and industry experts are curious on how well the sales fair during the festival occasion as the nation is battling the second wave of Covid 19. Kerala market is witnessing a growth in sales and advertising activities as Onam has approached. Let us hope that the sales will bloom this year despite the threats of the pandemic.
OOH is on the revival mode with many brands beginning new campaigns. Digital OOH is also witnessing growth across the nation. In DOOH itself 3D LED billboards are the latest trend in the West. We might soon follow suit. 3D LED billboard is a top notch thing and although the initial investment could be a bit costly, the power to grab the attention of mass audience is undoubtedly high. They provide 3D experience with naked eyes which again works in favour of it.

We are now facing the second wave of Covid 19. The only good news is that vaccination is in progress and we all can hopefully get it soon. Keep yourself and your loved ones safe until then.
There is no doubt that Covid 19 had shattered most industries. Our signage industry is no exception to it. When industry showed signs of revival then came the second wave. Most states imposed lockdown to control the spread of the disease. Again our industry got affected. Earlier we had requested the state government for permission to visit the unit
in two days and to run the machinery during
the lockdown. However no permission was granted to us. Things are no better in the second wave of Covid 19 too. Although we have requested for permission to the new minister in a memorandum submitted, there is no reply from their side.
Another thing we want to bring into your attention is the flex ban imposed by the Kerala state. Now when the flex ban is in effect and all units under SPIA (Signage Producers Industry Association) had turned into eco-friendly
and recyclable materials for printing, many advertising agencies operating from outside Kerala are still using the banned flex. Corporate groups are largely their customers. While we still continue to not use the flex, agencies from outside Kerala are using them in the state freely. State owned enterprises Kerala Bank, KSFE are also among the establishments which use the banned flex for advertising.

To all our readers- wish you a wonderful year ahead! 2020 was a rollercoaster ride for all of us. The pandemic has turned our world upside down. Now the positive news about the vaccine provides us with hope. Let us hope that the pandemic threat subsides soon.
The first thing I want to grab your attention is a commendable action done by Punjab government and DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation). Punjab government has waived off the license fee of outdoor media industry
for six months with effect from March 24,
2020. Although the industry is still on its path
of revival, the support provided by Punjab government even if it is for six months is a laudable effort. The second to follow suit was DMRC. As the lockdown and suspension of metro train services, DMRC suspended the license fee for OOH service providers from March 22, 2020 until September 30, 2020. We wish more governments follow the suit as OOH and advertising sector were one of the worst hit industries during the pandemic.

As we all know, Covid 19 has affected
all spheres of life. Like most sectors,
branding and advertisement sectors
too took a hit of it. When the nation
underwent lock down, most business
organisations and businesses were closed down
or had to stop production which in fact affected
the sales. As a result, most brands immediately
refrained from advertising in order to reduce the
loss in production. Only a few brands continued
to do the advertising or branding activities in
a small way. But the fact is that the brands
should never completely cease advertising. It
may procure more damage than they have ever
thought. A successful brand is not created on a
day. It takes years of hard work to create a brand
that is recognised and respected by all. Our
cover story discusses this in detail.
OOH industry had been one of the severely
hit sectors due to Covid 19. Kerala Advertising
Industries Association (KAIA) conducted a
webinar on the topic ‘How a businessman
should face 2020’ in the light of this. Leading
motivational speaker Adv A V Vamana Kumar led
the webinar. Apart from this, Arnon Media and
KAIA had organised another live talk show on the
future prospects of OOH industry in the wake of
Covid 19. Detailed reports of both are inside.
The signs of revival are now visible outside.

China has successfully conducted an expo-
DPES Sign Expo 2020. It is one of the best

venues to get to know all kinds of high-end
brand products in the sign and advertising
industry. The expo was held from September
12-14 at Guangzhou Poly World Trade Center,
China.
There are also many other stories connected
with the advertising and branding industry in
the inside pages. As always, we wish you a
wonderful read!

he much anticipated 46th edition of Media Expo concluded last month
at Mumbai with a flurry of innovative displays from 159 exhibitors in the indoor, outdoor advertising, media printing and signage segment. The expo has proven to be
a prominent venue for witnessing trendsetting capabilities and exploring various opportunities emerging across the print media, signage
and digital advertising platforms. According to KPMG, India’s advertising sector experienced 13.9% growth in 2019 and is further projected to grow by 10.62% till 2021. The top 3 contributing sectors are Digital Advertising, Television and OOH advertising. The Indian digital signage market is projected to grow at a CAGR of
15.1% between 2019 and 2025 while the OOH advertising sector is expected to grow at 9.3% CAGR between 2019-2024. We have exclusively covered Media Expo Mumbai 2020 for our readers with some unique pictures.
As predicted by the experts, the next big thing
in signage is Digital signage. Even the OOH industry is fast adapting digital trends to it. DOOH or Digital Out-of-the-Home is becoming more popular with brands and advertisers using it. Our article on DOOH will help you get to know more about this advertising option.
We have put space in this issue for introducing new entrants in the market. Two new machines by Lipi Marketing based in Chennai are featured in this section. One is Lipi Marketing’s new pocket-friendly roll-to-roll UV-LED printer Kenjet U2-L1440 and the other is dual-use metal and non- metal laser cutting machine which they have introduced for the first time in India. Check the articles to know more about them.
There are also articles dealing with marketing subjects like the need for branding and the importance of coordination in an organisation. As always, we wish you a wonderful read!

PVC Flex ban continues to make news all over the country. The latest state to impose a ban on PVC Flex is Kerala. As always we want to make our idea clear on this- we are not against PVC Flex ban. We are against the way all these governments chose to impose this. When several organisations and agencies have proved that PVC Flex can be recycled, why are they so adamant to ban it? These issue’s cover story is an eye-opener on how flex ban will affect OOH and signage industry.
Transit advertising is one of the premium ways to advertise. In this issue we are looking at the opportunities of Chennai and Bengaluru International Airports. Advertisers and brands are ready to pump in more cash for this as the benefits and reach is also manifold. We have also got some exclusive images which prove the point.
There are also many more articles in
this issue. One article of this issue deals with the eco-friendly and biodegradable materials suited for printing on the
wake of PVC Flex ban. More and more companies are now coming with such materials and it is probably the way ahead for the OOH and signage industry.
An article on UV printing, Delhi Media Expo 2019 and the recap of the recent festival sales are worth going through considering the turbulent crisis faced
by the industry. Taking account of the marketing side, we have articles on
the importance of media planning and another article on mastering professional competence.
As always, we wish you a wonderful read!

The cover story of this issue is undoubtedly Media Expo 2019
at New Delhi. The biggest trade exhibition for indoor and outdoor advertising and signage industry, Media
Expo is a venue to look out for new technologies, new innovations and new business opportunities in the industry. Being the most trusted trade fair, Media Expo
brings the biggest convergence of global brands and creative professionals to discover path-breaking future technologies. The 45th edition which was spread in 12,000 sq m exhibition space had 220 exhibitors. The visitor attendance recorded a 15% surge
with 17,770 trade visitors. The expo also had industry workshops. We bring some exclusive glimpses from the expo.
Apart from the many other stories of this issue, what we want to highlight is the Kerala Government’s decision to ban PVC Flex in the state. Kerala is the latest state to impose ban on flex apart from a few other states. SPIA (Sign Printing Industries Association), the single platform of sign printing unit owners in Kerala has already approached authorities expressing their concern over the industry on which the ban could adversely affect. Already the association had made clear to the government to collect and recycle PVC Flex and such a hasty decision from government was unexpected.
A ban on PVC Flex alone won’t solve the problem of harmful plastic waste especially when plastic covers and products are readily available. Let us wait hopefully for a wise decision from the government.

We have heard quite a lot about Karnataka
flex ban. Karnataka Association of Signage
Industry (KASI) is doing their bit about saving
the livelihood of many people associated with
the signage industry of Karnataka. Ravi Nagaraj,
General Secretary, KASI talks about the efforts
by the association to safeguard the interests of
people associated with the industry.
One of the main attractions of this issue is the
story on Rareform bags. What’s special about
the brand is that they make use of used vinyl for
the production of bags suited for various needs.
It is a great way to care about the environment
as they reuse the vinyl to something attractive
and useful. Entrepreneurs from our country
can also try a hand in it which could reduce the
impact of PVC flex or vinyl on environment.
An article on the advantages of bus shelter
branding in Mumbai could provide deep insights
about the way advertisers capture more attention
of the busy life of Mumbaikars. Another article
on the growing popularity of gantry advertising
in South Indian state Chennai is also worth
mentioning.

ay marks one month after the beginning of yet another financial year. This financial year like any other year is looked upon eagerly by the advertising industry especially the OOH industry. For Kerala, it is something which really counts as the devastating floods of last year had almost affected all the industry. What do OOH players of the state expect this financial year? Also, since it is the month on which the Lok Sabha elections take place, will it bring any change in the otherwise stagnant OOH sector owing to flex ban in certain states? Will the new eco-friendly and biodegradable media make
an impact? The months ahead will give the answers. The cover story of this issue deals with the prospects of advertising industry in the new financial year.
Transit advertising is gaining more and more popularity. From airports to bus shelters, most places of transit advertising are witnessing rising demands by corporate to local brands. We have two stories in this issue covering airport advertising and bus branding in Mumbai. The advantage of transit advertising is that
it delivers to a varied audience. It also offers flexibility of ad size and location.
This issue we have also included an article
on Q-Print Media, the innovative eco-friendly and biodegradable medium for digital printing that can replace harmful PVC flex. In the last issue we had introduced Bohar Media, another eco-friendly medium to the knowledge of our readers. It is good to note that there are more and more companies coming forward with alternatives to harmful PVC flex and helps the digital printing industry to deliver in a new
way. Q-Print Media can be used in the existing digital printing machines and is a boon to the advertising industry. We hope the new initiatives to continue and the industry welcome them for a green tomorrow.
There are many more articles for our readers to explore. As always, happy reading...

Two important events of importance
took place in India in the last month
concerning signage industry and
advertising industry. The first event was
Media Expo 2019, Mumbai, the international
trade exhibition for the indoor & outdoor
advertising and signage industry which ran from
Feb 20-22 at Bombay Exhibition Centre. Media
Expo is undoubtedly the most trusted business
platform that brings together leading global
brands and creative professionals to converge
and discover path breaking future technologies.
Another highlight was the response it got from
the industry. The packed grounds reflect the
curiosity of the industry to know and possess
the latest technologies of the industry and it is
good news for all. We wish the next event to be
even more successful.
The second event was IAA World Congress
which took place at our own Kochi, Kerala from
Feb 20-22. The 44th edition of the IAA World
Congress had a special significance. It is for the
first time the World Congress came to India. The
venue was The Grand Hyatt Lulu International
Convention Centre Bolgatty, Kochi Kerala which
again contributed much to the state’s tourism
industry. The state was able to make it clear
to the world that it has recovered from the
aftermaths of the devastating floods in the last
year. The theme of the Congress was “Brand
Dharma” to bring to life the basic principles
that a brand has to follow to connect with its
customers and society at large.

Greetings of the season!
As we have got into the last month of this year, the market is witnessing a new awakening. The boards welcoming consumers into their stores for year-end sales and discounts have begun to appear. Undoubtedly, the Christmas- New Year season sales is something which refreshes the economy. As people are in a mood to spent, the market will also have its positive impact. The cover story of this issue provides some insight into the Christmas-New Year season market.
One of the highlights of this issue is the story on marketing. It deals with the inevitable role played by dealers in the marketing of a brand or product. Companies must pay attention to dealers very much as it is often they who deal with the end-consumer. For dealers, it is a win- win situation as they could get more business from consumers as well as more benefits from companies.
Aluminium Composite Sign Board Printing
is one of the most reliable mediums for advertising. There are many advantages of using ACP in brand promotion or advertising. We have an article dealing with the ACP and the advantages of using it. Another article which could entice readers could be the article on bridge pole kiosks. When your budget is less and yet you don’t want to compromise on the ‘effect’ of advertising, you can always opt for bridge pole kiosks.
One of the interesting articles of this issue
is on the OOH industry in Thailand. LED Billboards are effectively used by brands to promote their brands in cities like Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. It will provide some handy information about the trends of OOH industry in Thailand.
There are also many other interesting articles in this issue which you will find worth reading and saving. We wish you a wonderful 2019 ahead!

The signage industry was relieving from the sufferings associated with cash demonetisation and GST. In Kerala
the floods played havoc during the prominent festival season- Onam. However the good news from Kerala is that K3A (Kerala Advertising Agencies Association) has initiated a system for introducing CRR (Client Rating Report) in the advertising industry. It can hopefully bring a change in the industry. This issue of Arnon Media addresses the worries of advertising and signage industry on flex ban including possible alternative suggestions.

Let us welcome the
festival season with open hearts!
The harvest festival of Kerala, Onam is nearing up. The fervour of festival is quite evident in the markets. Onam is looked upon by the markets all over in India as a curtain- raiser of festivals in the country. All markets closely watch how trade fairs in Kerala during the season as it could be the
trend during the other festival season. The cover story of this
issue deals with the branding activities by different brands during the Onam season in Kerala. A Japanese company like Sony or
a Korean company like Samsung come up with fabulous plans and branding activities during the Onam season in Kerala to get the maximum share in the market. For companies like them, no other occasion brings as much as sales as Onam. The trend is
not limited within home appliances or smart phones but also in automobiles, jewellery, textiles and so. In short, the peak season of sales in Kerala for many sectors is undoubtedly Onam.

Welcome to yet another issue
of Arnon Media!
This issue of Arnon Media deals with the importance of rural branding. Even when most promotional activities
are concentrated on the urban side, brands have now realised the power of rural branding. The potentiality of rural branding is not something to be ignored. Catch them young! This strategy works wonderfully well at rural branding. From the small sachets of shampoo to tooth pastes from big brands are part of this strategy. To get a share of the pie of this underutilised and mostly under-penetrated market will help brands to be in the forefront of the race. We believe the cover story will be helpful in shedding some light to this aspect.
The summer season is the best time for the sales of soft drinks. The sales of colas, non-carbonated drinks, milk based beverages see a sharp spike during this time. Even without much marketing activities, they tend to do a brisk business. But with a well planned marketing activities, the brands can take sales to the next level. The article on soft drinks market of India will provide you some insightful information on this.

We believe our article on branding strategy will be an eye-opener for all those who consider different strategies while branding.
The city review of this issue covers Mysuru- Bengaluru highway and M G Road, Ernakulam. Both roads are prime spots of advertising for advertisers. The OOH possibilities of these places especially after the proposed widening of Mysuru- Bengaluru highway and completion of metro station roads in M G Road, Kochi are immense.
OOH possibilities are also widely explored by healthcare industry. An article dealing with the subject is also included in this issue. It seems all major healthcare providers are looking upon OOH as important as TV or Print Ads. Billboards are undoubtedly the best way to mark the presence of the brand.

The fact that BMTC (Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation) operates the highest number of Volvo buses by a public transport company in India and with the astonishing number of schedules and vehicles (on a single day around 6140 schedules with a  eet of 6410 vehicles) provides ample opportunity for advertisers to reach their target customers in the nook and corner of the city.

its many features like durability, customer-friendly features and weatherproof. A story in this regard  nds a place in this issue of Arnon Media.
