Lemma & Elevision together deliver first ever programmatic DOOH campaign in MENA
NEW DELHI: Lemma, pioneer in programmatic digital out of home, along with Elevision Media, a leading OOH firm in the UAE blazed a new trail, launching the first programmatic DOOH campaign in Dubai for Microsoft’s Azure’s “Global cloud. Local presence” brand message.
A strategic partnership that utilised Elevision’s premium network of large format digital screens & Lemma’s programmatic DOOH platform sought to increase relevant exposures through targeted impressions & dynamic ads rendered on 36 large format screens across Dubai’s premier business district – Dubai International Financial Centre.
Using programmatic technology layered with data enabled targeting decision; the campaign attained higher OTS (opportunity to see) by delivering the ad at the right time to the right set of people. Exposures to ads took place only when the footfall volume was dense, thereby ensuring maximum relevant audience reach for the campaign.
Lemma Founder & CEO Gulab Patil said, “Programmatic technology in OOH is certainly a game changer & advertisers & screen owners who move fast will experience the first mover advantage. This campaign with Microsoft, along with Elevision, displays the unison of data, technology and DOOH screens, highlighting the process efficiencies, optimized spends & improved ROI that can be obtained with a simple integration of Programmatic DOOH as a part of OOH solutions. As pioneers we’ve consistently delivered campaigns across many countries & are excited about our new beginnings in the Middle East. ”
Elevision Media co-founder and chief operating officer Eamon Sallam said, “It was an exciting campaign to be a part of and we were thrilled to have a chance to deploy our programmatic platform for a world class client such as Microsoft. Content is king in our business, and with the help of the team at Lemma we were able to deliver dynamic, contextual content to a premium audience in the DIFC. Lemma’s platform enabled our client to better segment their audience, optimise their budget and helped to deliver great results using Elevision’s assets.”

Tata Consumer Products highlights workplace bias with no repeat campaign
Women often repeat ideas to be heard; Tata campaign spotlights bias
MUMBAI: In many offices, a familiar moment unfolds. A woman shares an idea in a meeting. The room nods politely, then moves on. A few minutes later, someone else repeats the same thought and suddenly it lands.
This International Women’s Day, Tata Consumer Products is drawing attention to that quiet but persistent workplace dynamic through TheNoRepeatCampaign, an initiative that highlights how often women must repeat themselves before their ideas are acknowledged.
Conceptualised by Schbang, the campaign centres on a mockumentary-style film featuring a corporate employee known simply as “Doobara”, which literally means “again”. The character symbolises the many women across workplaces who find themselves restating their ideas during meetings, brainstorms and presentations before they receive recognition.
The campaign is grounded in research that reflects a broader workplace pattern. According to McKinsey & Company’s Women in the Workplace 2024 report, 39 percent of women say they are interrupted or spoken over in professional settings. Research by Perceptyx in 2022 adds to that picture, with 19 percent of women reporting frequent interruptions and 42 percent saying it happens at least sometimes.
Tata Consumer Products head of corporate communications and investor relations Nidhi Verma, said the campaign aims to bring a commonly experienced but rarely discussed bias into the open.
“Workplaces thrive when every voice is heard the first time it speaks. With #TheNoRepeatCampaign, we wanted to shine a light on a bias that many women experience but rarely gets called out openly. By encouraging teams to listen more consciously and acknowledge ideas fairly, we hope to create environments where contributions are valued for their merit, not the number of times they need to be repeated,” she said.
The film cleverly mirrors the very behaviour it critiques. Through deliberate repetition in the storytelling, viewers experience the subtle frustration of having a point overlooked until someone else echoes it back to the room.
The initiative also ties into Tata Consumer Products’ internal SpeakUp culture, which encourages employees to share ideas and feedback openly while emphasising the shared responsibility of listening and acknowledging contributions.
Schbang president of solutions Jitto George, said the insight behind the campaign came from everyday workplace observations.
“The insight was simple but powerful. Many women have experienced moments where their ideas gain traction only after someone else repeats them. We wanted the storytelling to reflect that reality in a way that feels relatable, slightly uncomfortable and difficult to ignore. The mockumentary format helped capture that everyday dynamic while prompting viewers to rethink how conversations unfold in their own workplaces,” he said.
Aligned with International Women’s Day 2026’s theme, “Give To Gain”, the campaign underlines a simple message. When organisations give attention, acknowledgement and visibility to women’s voices, the entire workplace benefits.
After all, when good ideas are heard the first time, they do not need a second attempt.
