Media Brief

Anytime you think about a bathroom or kitchen product, there is an American manufacturing company that is sure to pop up in your mind. From baths to toilets, sinks to showers, Kohler is well known for its world renowned fittings & fixtures.

Kohler partnered with Paytm Ads in association with Dentsu Webchutney for an awareness campaign for their premium sanitaryware on the Paytm Audience Network. This partnership allowed Kohler to leverage Paytm’s transactional data and deterministic user insights to target the right audience on open ad-exchanges.

Campaign Objective

The campaign aimed at creating digital awareness among individuals with high spending capacity while also driving quality traffic to their website. The campaign focussed on engaging the correct audience for their premium sanitaryware via two different video ads.
