KKT has acquired more than 35 million subscribers across the country since its launch. The
company is able to interact with about one lakh consumers every day, which means about 25,000
hours of engagement daily with consumers in Bihar. After its success in Bihar, HUL launched this
service in other states.
KKT was piloted in Bihar in 2013. It was developed from a ‘missed call’ campaign that HUL
conducted for Wheel in 2012, in which through an advertisement on All India Radio in Uttar
Pradesh and Bihar it was asked to the listeners to give a missed call from their mobile phones to a
particular number. When they did so, they promptly got a call back with a recording of actor
Salman Khan’s dialogues from his blockbuster film Ek Tha Tiger and his endorsement of Wheel.
HUL got 16 million missed calls in four months and, by the end of the campaign, brand awareness
scores for Wheel had increased by 25 per cent and its sales jumped three times in the region.
HUL has roped in several third-party firms to generate content and services for the channel,
which it had initially named ‘Mobile Vani’ before opting for a more colloquial name.
HUL monitors usage of KKT on a ‘live dashboard’ that highlights the districts from where
traffic is coming. It can identify the areas and the times of maximum traffic. The company is also
able to access other useful information such as the frequency of the calls, the time of day the calls
come in, the numbers from which repeat calls are made and, perhaps most importantly, the exact
point when the caller decides to hang up. The dashboard also shows the number of ad impressions
for different brands.
