India's Advertising Shifts Toward Digital Amid Measurement and Fraud ChallengesPreviousNext

India's advertising landscape is evolving with Gen Z consumers driving a shift towards digital media, including connected TV and social platforms, as traditional TV advertising declines. Brands are adapting by tailoring campaigns to Gen Z's online behaviors and preferences. Concurrently, advertisers face challenges measuring campaign effectiveness across fragmented media channels during the festive season, complicated by ad fraud and inconsistent metrics across platforms, prompting calls for more cohesive and reliable measurement approaches.
