Instamojo is India’s first full-stack transactional platform for MSMEs. A blend of technology, data, design and ‘little bit of Mojo’, Instamojo makes it possible for small entrepreneurs from tier 2 and tier 3 towns to start an online store, and easily accept payments with just a mere link. In spite of being the pioneer of on-demand payments in India, Instamojo, faced a challenge due to the lack of differentiation among the media, between payment gateways and on-demand payments. Furthermore, the company had low awareness and recall among its stakeholders when compared to players such as PayPal and RazorPay.
The PRactice got onboard and recommended a Strategic Media Relations solution to address the client’s challenges. Our solution positioned Instamojo as a category inventor by highlighting its distinct value proposition and establishing the company as a trusted partner for small businesses. We recommended that the client build Media Relations to showcase how Instamojo championed the growth of small businesses through its suite of solutions.
