MUMBAI | KOLKATA: Three new Chinese smartphone<\/a> entrants have taken Indian advertising by storm. The three brands — LeEco<\/a>, Vivo<\/a> and Oppo<\/a> — have reportedly spent over Rs 250 crore on advertisements in the first three months of the calendar year, displacing ecommerce companies as top spenders, three media planners said.
\n
\nOppo spent Rs 100 crore, given that it is the on-air and on-ground sponsor of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. But it is LeEco that sprang a surprise, spending over Rs 70 crore in a short span of six weeks from January to mid-February. It has spent some Rs 50 crore on print, Rs 15 crore on digital and Rs 5 crore on outdoor ads, the media planners said.
\n
\nBasabdatta Chowdhury, chief operations officer of Starcom Mediavest, which is the media agency of record (AOR) for Oppo said, \"This is unprecedented spend by Chinese smartphone companies.\"
\n
LeEco’s spend was matched by Vivo, which will invest Rs 80 crore on marketing and advertising during the upcoming Indian Premier League (
IPL<\/a>) season after bagging the title sponsorship last year.
\n
\nSam Balsara, CMD, Madison World, the AOR for LeEco, who helped the brand launch in India, declined to confirm the ad spends of the company.
\n
\n\"It was an aggressive campaign that they ran for six weeks. They gave eight jacket ads in print and ran campaigns on digital and outdoor, too. There is no other brand in India that spent this kind of money in just six weeks. Therefore, to my mind, it is unprecedented,\" Balsara said.
\n
\nThere is more to come. Industry sources say that LeEco will soon launch a television campaign, and has earmarked over Rs 400 crore as its annual advertising budget.
\n
\nWhile Oppo refused to comment, an email sent to Vivo did not elicit any response till press time on Thursday. LeEco India’s chief operating officer for smart electronics business Atul Jain refused to comment on the marketing spends.
\n
\nJain said LeEco, however, has set a clear target to be the number one smartphone brand in the Indian e-commerce segment in 4-5 months. It currently only sells online.
\n
\n\"Overall, we want to become one of the top three smartphone brands in India by value in the next 12-18 months. This would require huge marketing and advertising support where we will continue to invest,\" he said.
\n
\nAshish Bhasin, chairman - South Asia, Dentsu Aegis Network, said, \"Advertising in the first quarter is always good. But we have noticed that the highest spending brands or sectors change every year. In 2014, it was the political parties. Last year, it was the ecommerce companies and this year, it is the Chinese smartphones.\"
\n
\nThe three Chinese handset makers have identified India as their next growth market after achieving sizeable market share in their home turf.
\n
\nThe lure of India lies in the fact that while globally smartphone sales will for the first time grow in single digits in 2016 as per estimates by research firm Gartner, India will generate new mobile phone user growth and will continue to drive double-digit growth.
\n
A recent report by Counterpoint Research has said that 2016 is going to be a highly competitive year in the Indian smartphone market as brands such as
Huawei<\/a>, LeEco and Vivo expand with aggressive offerings to compete head-on with other Indian and Chinese players.
\n
\nIn a recent interview to ET, Oppo India president Sky Li had said that India has emerged as the largest potential market for smartphones. \"The marketing budget is based on strategies which include emphasising focus on mobile photography via camera phones,\" he said.
\n
\"Our partnerships with FC Barcelona and ICC and our renewed brand association with Bollywood superstars
Hrithik Roshan<\/a> and Sonam Kapoor<\/a> reflect our long term commitment to the Indian market and our resolution to grow in India,\" Li had said. \n<\/p><\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":51641519,"title":"Online discounts on smartphone may taper off for reasons of business sustainability","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/online-discounts-on-smartphone-may-taper-off-for-reasons-of-business-sustainability\/51641519","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":51641617,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Chinese smartphone makers LeEco, Vivo and Oppo displace ecommerce companies as top advertising spenders","synopsis":"LeEco\u2019s spend was matched by Vivo, which will invest Rs 80 crore on marketing and advertising during the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/chinese-smartphone-makers-leeco-vivo-and-oppo-displace-ecommerce-companies-as-top-advertising-spenders","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Pritha Mitra Dasgupta","author_link":"\/author\/479232883\/pritha-mitra-dasgupta","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479232883.cms?width=100&height=100&hostid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479232883,"author_name":"Pritha Mitra Dasgupta","author_seo_name":"pritha-mitra-dasgupta","designation":"Editor","agency":false}},{"author_name":"Writankar Mukherjee","author_link":"\/author\/8447\/writankar-mukherjee","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/8447.cms?width=100&height=100&hostid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":8447,"author_name":"Writankar Mukherjee","author_seo_name":"writankar-mukherjee","designation":"Senior Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2016-04-01 08:20:19","lastupd":"2016-04-01 08:21:42","breadcrumbTags":["Sonam Kapoor","Hrithik Roshan","IPL","Smartphone","Huawei","Vivo","Devices","Oppo","LeEco"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/chinese-smartphone-makers-leeco-vivo-and-oppo-displace-ecommerce-companies-as-top-advertising-spenders"}}" data-authors="[" pritha mitra dasgupta","writankar mukherjee"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2016-04-01" data-index="article_1">
