What to watch this season
- The festive calendar
- Volume climbs from Raksha Bandhan and peaks around Diwali. The weekly chart shows when the market is loudest.
- Festival-specific creative
- Rakhi gifting, Onam sadya, Puja new clothes: rivals who localise creative to a festival usually beat generic 'festive sale' ads.
- Language mix
- Festive ads lean on Hindi and regional languages more than the rest of the year. Check whether your creative does too.
