Moneycontrol, a leading financial platform, has boldly asserted its dominance in the Indian business realm through a front-page advertisement in the Indian Express on January 29.
The campaign claims to outshine legacy leader The Economic Times across all parameters, marking a significant shift in the landscape of financial media.
The platform has unveiled a comprehensive ‘Indian Business ka King Kaun’ campaign, spanning a 360-degree approach to proclaim its leadership. This campaign is set to permeate trade media, social platforms, and television, amplifying Moneycontrol’s message of being the undisputed king of Indian business news, the company said in a press note.
Recent data from Comscore, a digital readership measurement tool, further solidifies Moneycontrol‘s claim. With 30.02 million unique viewers, Moneycontrol witnessed a 9 percent growth in December 2023, surpassing Economic Times (28.6 million) in both readership size and monthly traffic.
Key metrics of digital reader engagement—page views and time spent—underscore Moneycontrol’s dominance. In December, the platform accumulated a staggering 368 million page views, more than doubling the page views of its closest competitor, Economic Times (173 million). Time spent on Moneycontrol’s pages was equally impressive, with readers dedicating 863 million minutes in December, four times more than that spent on Economic Times (199 million minutes).
Moneycontrol’s strategic consolidation and extension of its lead signify not only a numerical triumph but also a substantial advantage in digital reader engagement, establishing it as the go-to platform for business news and insights.
As the battle for supremacy unfolds in the financial media landscape, Moneycontrol’s campaign and performance metrics underscore its determination to redefine and lead Indian business journalism.
