“The lock screen has proved to be more than just an innovative medium – coupled with unprecedented reach, precise targeting, and opportunities to leverage mobile’s most under-utilized real estate, it sure packs a punch. The same has been evident in all our continued marketing efforts that have consistently delivered results over the last six months. We've been successful in going way beyond creating top of mind awareness, making the lock screen our canvas in interacting with existing and potential customers. As the lock screen transforms into a content machine, native storytelling on this medium has the potential to move the needle on the advertising efforts of any digital-first brand.
If the notifications of delicious treats won’t tickle your taste buds, what will? Now imagine discovering a new treat every time you wake your phone or check out notifications! To bridge the distance between customers and their favorite dishes, Zomato decided to engage with millions of its customers through fun and non-intrusive communication (in the form of notifications).
To own disproportionate mindshare and to engage customers, Zomato has adopted the lock screen as its medium of choice. Before food lovers could turn to any other app, their lock screens led them to their favorite dishes – be it a wholesome bowl of biryani or a chocolate-loaded brownie – all thanks to a seamless on-screen experience.
What worked for Zomato was native storytelling done right. Every creative spoke to the Glance user, teasing their taste buds with quirky one-liners, topical and relevant quips around their favorite food and a funny meme. The purpose was to make it relevant to each and every customer. As Quarter 4 financial year '21 came to a close, Zomato created high and resonating engagement with millions of Zomato customers, through these efforts by using Glance.
