In the evolving digital landscape, brands are constantly seeking innovative ways to connect with their audience, and Jeevansathi.com, a frontrunner in the online matchmaking domain, is no exception. With a strategic pivot towards digital branded content, Jeevansathi, in collaboration with The Viral Fever (TVF), has embarked on a journey to capture hearts through compelling storytelling. This article delves into how Jeevansathi aims to resonate with its audience on a deeper level, as shared by Himani Bahuguna, EVP and Head Marketing at Jeevansathi.
The Digital Shift: A Post-Pandemic Reality
The pandemic has undeniably altered consumer content consumption, catapulting digital media to the forefront of marketing strategies. Himani Bahuguna highlights this shift, noting the increased digital content consumption and the unique opportunities it presents for brands to engage more intimately with their audience. Unlike traditional TV advertisements, digital platforms offer a two-way communication street, allowing Jeevansathi to weave itself into the fabric of pop culture and everyday conversations of its target group (TG).
Crafting Content That Connects
Jeevansathi’s approach to content creation is multifaceted, ranging from snackable social media content to collaborations with influencers and poets, aiming to be wherever their consumers are. Their partnership with TVF to produce the web series “Almost Together!” marks a significant leap into long-form content, telling the story of friendship, love, and the unexpected twists of fate in the search for a life partner.
“Almost Together!” follows the lives of Jai and Kriti, and the love triangle that unfolds with Raghav, Jeevansathi’s match for Kriti. This narrative not only entertains but also subtly integrates the brand into the storyline, showcasing Jeevansathi as a thoughtful and relevant choice for those navigating the complexities of relationships in their 30s.
A Partnership Born of Creativity
The collaboration with TVF was not a fate but a deliberate choice, driven by the desire to create content that appeals to younger audiences actively seeking life partners. Bahuguna’s openness to TVF’s creative process led to the birth of “Almost Together!”, highlighting the importance of organic content integration over overt advertising.
The positive initial response to the series has opened doors for potential future collaborations, underscoring the effectiveness of casting, direction, and narrative in creating content that resonates with viewers.
Beyond Entertainment: Building Brand Affinity
While Jeevansathi continues its traditional advertising efforts, there’s a strategic shift towards digital content, acknowledging the changing media consumption habits post-pandemic. Bahuguna emphasises the goal of creating content that not only entertains but also builds brand love and solves consumer concerns, striking a balance between long and short-form content to foster a deeper connection with the audience.
