ScoopWhoop launches in-flight feed
MUMBAI: ScoopWhoop has announced the launch of its in-flight feed to give access to exclusive tailor-made content while flying above 16000 feet. The content publisher is the first to unlock this innovation, and is aiming to disrupt the industry, to re-look the way audience consumes content on-board.
While in-flight services are a common practice, ScoopWhoop’s latest addition to its app unlocks the feed, allowing users to read content while flying without internet connectivity. The feature which is currently in its beta version, appears as a push notification only when one is on airplane mode and flying above 16000 feet (cruising altitude). The feature will dissolve once there is a descend in the altitude.
The in-flight feed has been conceptualised by Dentsu Webchutney.
ScoopWhoop Media co-founder and chief product officer Debarshi Banerjee says, “This is the first time that a content publisher has forayed into distributing content basis behavioural patterns for airborne consumers. ScoopWhoop’s aim has always been to become a customer product and continue to revamp the strategy to innovate with the changing environment. We are hoping that the new update will help us build a further close connect with our audience.”
Dentsu Webchutney chief creative technologist Gurbaksh Singh adds, “Flying in India is mostly a boring experience due to unavailability of in-flight entertainment services. We are delighted to collaborate with ScoopWhoop to develop an innovative feature that will change the way audience consumes content. It was fun building the feature; we have deployed over 500 hours in air while testing the feasibility of the feature.”

EcoMedia Solutions launches EcoMeter to track carbon impact in media
New tool aims to bring real data and accountability to ads and events
GURUGRAM: EcoMedia Solutions has rolled out EcoMeter, a new solution designed to bring sharper carbon accountability to advertising, media, marketing and events.
Built on its proprietary EMS platform, EcoMeter aims to help brands and agencies measure the environmental impact of campaigns and on-ground activations using real-world data rather than broad estimates.
The move comes as sustainability gains traction across boardrooms, even as measurement within the advertising ecosystem remains patchy and often reliant on spend-based assumptions. EcoMeter attempts to change that by using localised emission factors and activity-based inputs, offering a more grounded view of carbon output.
“Today, most carbon calculations in our industry are derived from spends or broad averages. That does not reflect what is actually happening on the ground,” said EcoMedia Solutions founder & CEO Rumjhum Gupta. She added that the tool factors in variables such as location, execution and materials to deliver a more accurate picture.
The platform allows users to compare media choices based on environmental impact, plan lower-carbon campaigns and generate data-backed ESG and BRSR reports. It spans formats including OOH, DOOH, print, digital and live events, bringing sustainability into the same decision-making framework as cost and performance.
EcoMedia Solutions says the larger goal is to move the industry beyond surface-level sustainability claims towards measurable action. As scrutiny from consumers, investors and regulators intensifies, tools like EcoMeter could play a key role in helping brands back intent with credible data.
With this launch, the company is betting that the next big metric in advertising will not just be reach or ROI, but impact that can be counted in carbon.
