JioCinema, which is owned by Viacom18, is attracting small and medium businesses (SMBs) that advertise heavily with Google and Meta platforms with budget-friendly advertising deals for the IPL, marking a tactical move in the competitive digital advertising landscape.
According to The Economic Times, SMBs can advertise during the IPL live streaming for as low as Rs 25 cost per mille (CPM).
The IPL base pack for one day starts at Rs 50,000 for 1.25 million impressions at a rate of Rs 40 CPM. For 5 million impressions, the cost goes up to almost 2 lakh.
The advertising expenses during an IPL weekday and weekend game are Rs 50,000 and Rs 65,000, respectively.
