Zepto Search Ticker Advertising

The Search Ticker is the rotating line inside the Zepto search bar. It is the one unit in the app that reaches a shopper at the moment they are telling the platform what they want, so the intent behind the impression is stated rather than inferred.

The search bar travels across the app rather than sitting on one screen, which is why the ticker carries around 20M impressions a day, the second largest reach in the catalogue. Bought by the day, it suits category ownership, launches and any campaign where being in front of intent matters more than the size of the creative.
