A literature survey was conducted on the aspects of drawing synergies between online and offline advertising and finding ways for effectively measuring the impact of print campaigns. A set of focus group interviews, across strata of society, was conducted to understand how consumers are consuming media. There were interviews also conducted with some regional advertisers to understand their advertising needs and how they measured the effectiveness of a campaign. These results were analyzed and the most important issues and learning s were identified from the primary and secondary research. At this stage, gaps were identified and the probability of plugging those information gaps with various product ideas was discussed. These product ideas including AdWords for Print were then measured on common benchmark in terms of revenue and recommendations were made in the form of product ideas, which should be implemented and rolled out for the market.
