Abstract: In the era of marketing, urban 'youth' category or generation Y is more attractive than any other social category. There is a lot of discussion about the potential of generation Y of India in the developed economies. Various companies have realised the immense potential of this youth category and are interested to target this segment. This is important as generation Y dominates India. Generally, a trend is observed that companies target rural market as two third of the total population in India is concentrated in rural areas. There is a lack of evidence about the reverse trend. This is supposed to be the first case that focuses on the reverse trend; i.e., rural to urban with the help of a case of Indian fertiliser giant, IFFCO. The case discusses about various communication and branding strategies of IFFCO to target generation Y.

Keywords: brand; digital media; generation Y; marketing communication; rural; social media; social networking sites; urban; India. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
