Find out how Hero Motocorp and Reckitt Benckiser India benefit from Brandintelle
A. What is the added value that Brandintellé brings, compared to other tools in the market?
The problem that Brandintellé addresses is –
“Management would be happy to know what’s going on in Marketing. Marketing would be happy if they had the data to share.”
As a centralised marketing platform, Brandintellé addresses the problem of the real data gap by automating every arm & leg of marketing. With real-time automation comes real-time reporting dashboards – which gives marketers total control of all their marketing activities
We have experienced this first hand with our initial client Hero Motocorp Ltd. and then with big TV spender Reckitt Benckiser India coming onboard, we saw real savings because of Brandintellé’s superior TV monitoring & Deviation Reporting Module.
Another value addition Brandintellé brings is integration with allied, complementary service providers to give even more value to marketing departments. We started with deep integration with the SAP Finance Module for Hero Motocorpto achieve end-to-end process automation. And since many marketers see Outdoor marketing as a valuable medium we have started integrating with the 3rd party Radar Monitoring Service – which will provide marketers the assurance about their Outdoor investments. Next on the cards is integration with CRM, Lead Management & Sales Force Management Softwares.
In the background, Brandintellé continuously creates the base for a marketing database. This starts with aggregating all marketing and sales data, market research data, etc. into a central cluster for each client.
Just one example: Our automobile client did not have any set guidelines for marketing mix (ratio of different media, activation, BTL, etc.) So, their 25 odd sales offices applied individual marketing mix. After analysing the aggregated sales office spends data & sales offtake, we were able to get a clear idea on what marketing mix was likely to generate maximum sales. This led to a formulation of Marketing Mix Guidelines for the client.
As the next step, we bring Analytics to the Brandintelléplatform. With a data store of marketing spends data, sales data, research, viewership data, etc. available, Brandintellé platform uses predictive analysis to estimate market-wise sales, breakdown marketing spends by market & get marketing ROI by brand & market.
Finally, we use this data to help us to study the effect of marketing spends on the sales forecast.
B. What was the market need that prompted the creation of Brandintellé?
We have been actively working in the advertising & media industry for over 2 decades and had been observing the lack of process automation in marketing depts. With digital platforms, marketing teams woke up to software, apps, et al. But the process automation of the entire marketing team was never complete – at best, it was done in bits & pieces.
Clearly, today’s large marketing investments come with their inbuilt complexities – which are best managed with excellent process automation software. The year 2016-17 marked the launch of the new-gen Brandintellé platform with Central Marketing Module. Today, we have our Central Marketing Module & Regional Marketing Module, while we’re working on the Incentive Marketing Module.
C. What are the marketing pain points that Brandintellé addresses?
The Brandintellé platform addresses multiple pain points of marketers, which are based on their following unfulfilled needs:
- Need for real time control of marketing investments linked to budgets & annual
plans - Need for real time control of plan KPIs vs deliveries (pre & post analysis)
- Need for real time reporting dashboards & transparency
- Need for a real time marketing database
- Need for real time deep analysis of multiple databases
- Need for near real time marketing analytics
