A Media Planner's View: Where to Place
Use Moneycontrol for investors, traders and business leaders across India. The markets, stocks, mutual funds and personal finance sections are the natural slots for wealth, banking, fintech and investment messaging, while business and economy pages suit corporate and premium brands.
Plan website display together with the app to build both reach and frequency, and consider Moneycontrol Pro for a more engaged paying audience. Pair it with Indian airport media to reach the same professionals while they travel.
Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here
Moneycontrol is where a large share of India's retail and professional investors follow markets, so it suits financial services, wealth, property, fintech and premium brands that want investor attention at scale. Few Indian business titles combine this reach with such a market-focused audience.
How we would use it. We would combine website display with the app, anchor the plan in markets, mutual funds and personal finance sections, and time campaigns around results seasons, budget announcements and market events. Pro readers add a more engaged, paying audience.
Our guidance. We plan section, device and timing mix for you, so the investor segments in your brief get priority across the website and app.
How We Would Run Your Moneycontrol Campaign
We start with the audience you need to reach, whether that is investors, business owners or high-net-worth families, and work back to the title, section and edition that put you in front of them. The schedule follows from that.
The rest is ours to handle: creative adapted to the publication's formats, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
