From startups to brands, local mom-and-pop stores to MNCs, celebrities to political organizations and governments – the growing power of content is being leveraged across industries and sectors; much of this can be attributed to the proliferation of new-age media and content formats. The India Content Leadership Awards and Conference are a reward for content trailblazers in the industry.

Content has indeed become the most influential tool when it comes to achieving desired results from the target audience. Capitalizing on this trend, advertisers and agencies are extensively utilizing their creative prowess to develop engaging content that is often customized to suit different media platforms. The increasing demand for original content is definitely a good sign not only for the media industry but also the overall economy of the country as it creates numerous jobs and opportunities for talented individuals.

On the Awards aspect of the event, Madhavi Irani – Chief Content Officer at Nykaa and one of the jurors for the evaluation process of nominations said, “I was impressed by the inspired ideation and creative concepts that were used to create video content that made me think, engage, laugh and pause to ponder. The fact that India is one of the largest consumers of video content in the world – with a five-fold increase in consumption in just the last year – has seen the art of storytelling on digital platforms undergo a metamorphosis, so evident from the entries submitted this year.”

Another juror of the programme, Shradha Agarwal – Co-Founder and COO of Grapes Digital, said that the supreme quality of entries that have been submitted for the contest made it really challenging for her to assess and distinguish between various nominations in terms of the marking scheme. “It is very seldom that you get to see a plethora of nominations all of which are almost at par in terms of merit. However, the exhaustive procedure that was followed for the evaluations assures you of right judgment and results. These factors speak volumes about the quality of the event, and had set high expectations for the show. I was really enthralled to be part of this initiative and had a chance to meet the leading content producers of the nation,” exclaimed Shradha.
