Driven by a belief in creativity as a catalyst for meaningful change, he co-founded Dooh Good Media with Mr. Gursharan Singh to revolutionize how brands engage with highway audiences. Dooh Good Media focuses on Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising along national highways, offering brands unparalleled visibility on highway hotspots, high-traffic routes and intercity corridors.
As the vision expanded, It’s Spotlight was launched to complement this strategy by targeting urban hotspots-including malls, high-footfall commercial zones, and popular city centers.
Studies indicate that integrating AI into DOOH campaigns can boost impact by as much as 60% on the same budget, thanks to smarter audience targeting, continual optimization, and instant adaptability.
By analyzing consumer behavior and foot-traffic patterns, Its Spotlight’s AI pinpoints the highest-value locations and optimal times to display ads, so every impression lands. The platform can tweak creatives on the fly, adapting copy and visuals to fit audience demographics or live circumstances, all without inflating media costs.
Its Spotlights dynamic screens transform passersby into active participants. QR codes invite viewers to tap for exclusive offers or deeper information, delivering a seamless, interactive encounter. Behind the scenes, every scan, dwell time, and impression is tracked, ensuring brands can attribute value to each screen view.
“Taking over the screens at CP.67 marks a key step in redefining brand engagement in public spaces. With real-time analytics and QR tracking, we ensure full transparency and accountability, setting a new DOOH benchmark at high-footfall locations,” said Virkaran Singh, Director, Its Spotlight.
Riding the momentum mall-screen debut, It’s Spotlight plans to light up additional data-driven billboards across premier retail and transit hubs by Q3 2025. A region-wide DOOH network integration is slated for early 2026, with expansion into major malls and other high-footfall venues by year-end.
