MUMBAI: Digital Marketing Agency, TheSmallBigIdea has won the social media mandate for Zee TV. The addition of Zee TV further strengthens TheSmallBigIdea’s entertainment portfolio and positions it as a partner of choice for media and entertainment brands in India.
Launched in 1992, Zee TV is the flagship channel of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd with a strong foothold in rural and urban markets across India. The social media mandate for Zee TV was awarded to TheSmallBigIdea post a multi-agency pitch which saw participation from several other leading digital marketing consultancies.

As a part of its mandate, TheSmallBigIdea will reinforce Zee TV’s existing presence on social media platforms and create a unique and distinct social positioning for the channel and its shows thus setting it apart from its competitors.

It is one of the strongest Indian television brands which has created iconic shows, characters and reality shows and has rewritten the Hindi GEC rulebook at various levels. To play a role for them in unlocking the digital potential is a huge opportunity and honour for us.
