Differentiation & Innovation in Implementation

The company provides patented cross-device mapping solutions that help understand user behaviour by using the data points generated by multiple devices into a unique mapping ID.  This provides accurate insights into user behavior, thus helping big brands measure RoI based on the number of social and search conversations happening during the TVC’s time stamp. Traditionally, advertisers do media planning on metrics like reach and target audience. Silver Push enables them to measure online traffic, not only to their website but by tracking tweets and installs as well, competitors’ TV strategy and comparing across TV and digital, etc. It synchronizes TV and mobile advertisements transmission to happen at the same time.

The company has 150 clients in India across industries such as FMCG, classifieds and e-commerce domains, and includes conglomerates such Google and Nestle. SilverPush plans to expand internationally and enable buying TVC slots through its platform.

The company suffered a loss last year due to demonetization and change in investment scenario but aims to achieve 2x growth revenue this year.
