Hyderabad was ruled by a dynasty of Nizams for more than six hundred years. Therefore, the city’s brilliant Muslim architecture along with its inclinations towards Mughal culture and delectable cuisine can be easily explained. Fondly called the City of Pearls, Hyderabad has three types of people who call the city home. First is the Muslim community that is generally centred in the Old city. Next is the Telugu speaking section and finally the immigrants who have flocked to the city in large numbers due to Hyderabad developing as a booming IT hub. Naturally, this mixed population will have variegated advertising needs and in different languages.

Only giant companies that have a stipulated amount set aside for advertising can invest in display ads. Unlike classified text ads, these ads do not have much content in them. These use colourful images in them and have more scope for creativity. Display ads appear along with editorial content. Advertisers are free to choose the page on which the ad is to be placed as well as the day on which the ad will run. Education, property, obituary or personal, business and retail are some of the categories under which a display ad can be booked.
